Some days in Lubbock begin perfectly fine. Your keys are where you left them, you didn’t forget to feed the cat, and you made it to work on time. Then, there are other days. Days when something goes completely haywire, resulting in a totally crap-filled day. Not big, life-altering events, but just minor inconveniences that make you grumble.
Things That Instantly Ruin A Lubbock Day
In Lubbock, a big one is the wind. Duh. It messes up your hair and your attitude the second you walk out into it. You lose what little motivation you had for the day very quickly after you get a face full of dirt.
Next up, nothing will humble you faster than pulling in somewhere and then realizing there isn’t a single parking spot. None. Not even a halfsie you can squeeze yourself into. Now you’re circling, building resentments, and starting to feel personally attacked.
Traffic in our city isn’t a big deal, but on a bad day? Forget about it. Around here, a single messed-up red light can ruin traffic flow across town. You’re left spiraling.
Oh, and let’s not forget this classic: running one quick errand that somehow turns into five. You walk into the store for tape and stamps, and walk out with a new collection of cat toys.
I think the fastest way to ruin a day in Lubbock is simply by stepping out the front door dressed for the wrong occasion. Too hot. Too cold. It’s never just right here. Once you’re uncomfortable, it’s over. Pack it in. Time to go home…
