A Humorous Community Reflection"},"content":{"rendered":"

Lubbock has a special kind of self-awareness. No, I’m not saying it’s “growth”…just awareness. And today\u2019s question on The RockShow With Chrissy And Wes<\/a> proved it: what\u2019s something you do that absolutely drives you crazy when someone else does it? The answers were honest, unhinged, and painfully relatable.<\/p>\n

Let’s get into it.<\/p>\n

A lot of folks admitted they\u2019re walking contradictions. Sneaking candy into the movie theater is fine, apparently, but bringing in a full Jimmy John\u2019s combo meal crosses a moral line. Making jokes about yourself? Totally acceptable…until someone else joins in, then it\u2019s war. Looking at your phone while someone\u2019s talking? Rude and disrespectful…unless you\u2019re the one doing it, in which case it\u2019s completely justified.<\/p>\n

Lubbock also has beef with sounds. Crunching ice. Smacking gum. Chewing with your mouth open. Sneezing too loudly. Existing too audibly in shared spaces, to be perfectly honest. Elevators were specifically mentioned as a no-fart zone, which feels like an unspoken rule we all learned the hard way. (It’s ALWAYS Greg from accounting, BTW…)<\/p>\n

Driving habits didn\u2019t escape judgment either. Tailgating, slow left-lane cruising, and adjusting someone\u2019s seat without putting it back were all called out. Apparently, personal inconvenience is forgivable; however,\u00a0external inconvenience is a crime.<\/p>\n

In summary, Lubbock knows it\u2019s annoying. We just don\u2019t want anyone else doing it. And honestly? That tracks.<\/p>\n

Thanks to everyone in town for outing themselves as the pot calling the kettle black. Your honesty and humor are always appreciated on the morning show. You guys rule.<\/p>\n
