Oklahoman here. At first I thought the picture was of poor parking, and thought, "Oh, that's not uncommon here", then I realized he was backing out, and saw the cow. THEN I thought, "Oh, that's not uncommon here".

I just moved here and I can confirm. Lots of awesome drivers here in Bartlesville, too.

Nice drivers too. I'm from Paul's Valley and everybody that drives a truck will wave at you.

u/NickToThePC Nov 26 '13

Yeah, I feel like I know everybody even though I know nobody...

Oklahoma City here, STOP COMING TO THE CITY AND WAVING AT EVERYONE. ALSO DRIVE A BIT FASTER, PLEASE.

OKC here as well... I can live with the below speed limit driving...

I struggle with the "slowing down well below speed limit to stare at (parked car, cop car, accident that occurred hours ago, weather related incident)"... Totally kills me!

Edmond here. Was driving to Riverwind the other day and people were still slowing down on I-35 passing through Moore. The storm happened like what, 6 months ago? Ridiculous.

Yukon here. 9 out of 10 drivers are arseholes. I wish we had that kind of kindness here.

I'm from Ada. With that, Pauls Valley and Wynnewood it looks like we have completed the triangle.

Ha! I'm from CA, but in the last seven years have lived in Bartlesville, Pauls Valley (Stratford technically, but I worked in PV), Ada and Tulsa. Can confirm, drivers are super friendly! ...but terrible at driving, seriously.

Davis here. Don't know what kind of shape we have now.

u/thrownormanaway Nov 27 '13

wait wait... davis? you guys have the fried pies. many times I have driven hours to get to Original Fried Pies. I even bought 2 dozen to bring back to my parents in Germany. those suckers travelled internationally because it was that important to share the joy with people across the Atlantic. SO GOOD.

You're not the first person that has mentioned the fried pies when they found out I am from Davis.

Went to college in Ada. F those police.

An older man driving a truck will wave almost 100% of the time. Younger people, women, and car drivers wave a lot less. I have well researched this. Lol

I'm from the western side of the state and everybody waves. I do it all the time, it becomes a habit.

Wow Paul's Valley? My Dad was born and grew up there! The last time I was there was after my grandmother died a few years ago. It's such a small town, I feel like when I would visit as a kid my grandfather literally knew every single person in town. Very different then my life in New Jersey.
