Something is in the air....

[u/Lost-Mode-2768]

Lately I've really noticed a weird vibe to Nashville. From the tourists to the locals, even the servers here. Everyone just seems so much more rude/angry/short than even 4 months ago...

I was at a concert last night, won't name the band or venue, but it just seemed like the crowd was super angry. Everyone was standing still, no one said a word to each other, even if they showed up with people. Even the band themselves seemed like they were just trying to get thru the set.

This is one of a long string of instances like this I've experienced as of late...what is going on?

Really just makes me want to stay home...but as an extrovert that's extremely diffucult for me...

I'm glad it's not in my head. I live in Portland. 45 minutes from Nashville. I drive for Uber and Lyft in Nashville. I also do deliveries. I noticed how rude and mean the people in Nashville are. I sense the evil in Nashville. I'll try to talk to people there and they refuse to talk to me. I also noticed how aggressive the drivers are. It's not a place I would want to live at.

The drivers are aggressive even when they don’t have to be. I was on I40 around 6:30 am today (Sunday). Wide open. Four lanes across, traffic moving. At least two people pass me on the right (when two lanes on the left have NOBODY in them), go racing up to an 18 wheeler, have to slow down, and then pass him on the left. If you want to go 80 mph on a Sunday morning at dawn when very few people are on the road, just get into the left lane! Why are you careening across four lanes of traffic like it’s Grand Theft Auto?

Oh, and I was in the second right lane because I knew traffic from the airport would be merging and because I know the four lanes narrow to three and then two fairly rapidly, not because I’m an annoying person who drives slow in the passing lane.
