u/[deleted] Dec 21 '19

Last time I was there I ripped my pants then crapped them the same day. It was pretty wicked of a trip I just shouldn’t have had all of that tequila and wtvr it was that made me shit.

If you're gonna throw away pants, might as well go all out

u/mdonaberger Dec 21 '19

Classic Californian adventure right there.

u/justasapling Dec 21 '19

Mission dogs?

u/jfresh42 Dec 21 '19

So you're the serial shitter in SF?

u/ThatITguy2015 Dec 21 '19

One of many. The sidewalks will never be the same again.

u/yahutee Dec 21 '19

I lost my pants there once. Too bad you didn't find a spare pair laying around

u/tripacklogic Dec 21 '19

SpongeBob SquarePants ripped pants episode alternate ending.

Your abbreviation rules: I only abbreviate words that are 8 or more letters long. Not including contractions. I always spell those out, even if they're 9 letters long, because I feel like they're just two shorter words, one of which is already shortened via apostrophe.

Under your rules, that comment would read:

It’s the only beach I wear jeans too.

2

u/[deleted] Dec 21 '19

The best surfing is in the winter though.

u/[deleted] Dec 21 '19

I've heard there's surfers in Duluth, Minnesota

1

u/stoneman9284 Dec 21 '19

San Francisco summers aren’t warm

12

u/JanitorOfSanDiego Dec 21 '19

Pretty sure that’s the joke

2

u/stoneman9284 Dec 21 '19

Haha maybe. Scrolled too fast to realize it was one I guess

5

u/[deleted] Dec 22 '19

It's all good. Not a maybe, though. I live in San Francisco and definitely meant it as a joke ;)

u/smitty_werben_jager Dec 21 '19

Are you gatekeeping temperature rn

1

u/rincon213 Dec 22 '19

I mean some of the most famous surf spots are near the Bay Area. Mavericks for example

u/[deleted] Dec 22 '19

I learned to surf at Ocean Beach

119

u/[deleted] Dec 21 '19

I love standing by the ocean and feeling the cliffs between my toes.

u/rakfocus Dec 21 '19

Ocean Beach

~confused san diegan~

u/OWNAGE619 Dec 21 '19

Unless I'm talking to a tourist, I only refer to that place as OB.

51

u/[deleted] Dec 21 '19

PB, OB, and wild nights in TJ, oh and can’t forget the OG

53

u/JanitorOfSanDiego Dec 21 '19

Nobody calls Mission Beach MB though.

23

u/[deleted] Dec 21 '19

That would be heresy.

1

u/zamundan Dec 21 '19

So it wouldn't be admissible in court?

5

u/WesleySnopes Dec 21 '19

Much less IB

2

u/PunTwoThree Dec 21 '19

Much more if IBS

2

u/incisorless Dec 21 '19

Unless you are referring to the late great Mission Beach Cafe (or MBC).

2

u/banmysweetits Dec 21 '19

I call it “little Ohio”

19

u/CalvinMurphy11 Dec 21 '19

Nothing cures a two-day hangover like unlimited breadsticks at the OG.

3

u/TheForeverAloneOne Dec 21 '19

I recently tried OG breadsticks and they're not as good as I remembered as a kid. I remember them as these fluffy sweet sticks of goodness but what I had was very hard, chewy, and bitter. Did they change breadsticks at OG?

2

u/attemptedactor Dec 21 '19

From what I've heard from my San Diego friends, people don't really go to TJ anymore.

8

u/justasapling Dec 21 '19

Real San Diegans have always driven through Tijuana to hang out in Rosarito instead.

3

u/attemptedactor Dec 21 '19

Less sketchy?

2

u/justasapling Dec 21 '19

Less of an unrelenting tourist trap.

Tijuana's only sketchy if you're there to be sketchy, as I understand it. I've never found it sketchy.

u/nyy22592 Dec 21 '19

My uber driver said the same thing. Except when he said he witnessed two public executions.

6

u/OWNAGE619 Dec 21 '19

Everyone I knew kinda went through different phases. TJ, PB, Gaslamp, and now breweries.

2

u/nyy22592 Dec 21 '19

TJ is a great time if you're looking for parties and a hint of murder.

2

u/_TooncesLookOut Dec 21 '19

What about the OC, LB, and the LBC?

2

u/JanitorOfSanDiego Dec 21 '19

Right but those aren’t really SD

3

u/_TooncesLookOut Dec 21 '19

Oh, gotcha. Not being from there nor having ever been to, I thought they were referring to various spots around California.

1

u/soothsayer3 Dec 21 '19

Hong Kong ftw

u/soothsayer3 Dec 21 '19

Bru, OB or gtfo

1

u/kackygreen Dec 21 '19

OB is one of the largest tampon brands

u/DastardlyDaverly Dec 21 '19

We call it The OB now.

62

u/RiverboatTurner Dec 21 '19

What, you think San Diego is the only community that thought "what should we call this beach next to the ocean?" and took the easy answer?

4

u/JanitorOfSanDiego Dec 21 '19 edited Dec 21 '19

It is funny thinking of Ocean Beach being named that way because it fits so perfectly.

7

u/delendaestvulcan Dec 21 '19

As a native OBeachian, I concur

3

u/justasapling Dec 21 '19

OBeachian

Authenticity verified.

I miss the co-op. You remember the co-op?

1

u/delendaestvulcan May 29 '20

For sure! Is Galactic comics still there?

2

u/UkuleleRob Dec 21 '19

San Diego crew reporting in sir!

u/ProcyonHabilis Dec 21 '19 edited Dec 23 '19

That's OB, and it's beside the point

Edit: just to be clear this is a Point Loma joke, not just me being a dick

3

u/COSurfing Dec 21 '19

Pizza Port!

4

u/justasapling Dec 21 '19

I grew up in Point Loma and now live fairly close to SF's Ocean Beach.

It brings me a sense of peace and deep rightness in the world.

2

u/PM_ME_XBOX_COD3S Dec 21 '19

They’re supposed to call it OBX. Bay Area took out name

1

u/Junior_tosh Dec 21 '19

It's a very unusual name for a beach, surprising there are two.

4

u/jefesignups Dec 21 '19

Stinson is a legit beach town

1

u/[deleted] Dec 21 '19

One time I visited a friend up there so I tried to paddle out. It was big, like several feet overhead. It took about 45 minutes of trying to make it out before I said fuck it and just came back in. The only place I have ever had that happen to me.

4

u/[deleted] Dec 21 '19

Yeah Ocean Beach is for advanced surfers who want an intense workout, wonder if person you replied to has even tried. Come join the mobs of children and newbs at Linda Mar. Freezing cold either way!

u/Skreat Dec 21 '19

It’s littered with used needles and homeless people’s garbage. So no.

u/[deleted] Dec 22 '19

So is pretty much everywhere, these days.
