Unfortunately, it also exposes you to a lot of things that feel illegal\u2026but somehow aren\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"275\" data-end=\"521\">First of all, the wind. Not just \u201ca little breezy\u201d. Nope. I\u2019m talking about the kind of wind that ruins your hair, steals your receipt, and tries to rip your car door off its hinges. At some point, it stops being weather and starts feeling very personal.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"275\" data-end=\"521\">Let\u2019s talk about\u00a0seeing someone you know every single time you leave your house. Grocery store? Yep. Gas station? Of course. The one day you look terrible? That\u2019s when you run into\u00a0everyone. Especially the\u00a0one that got away. Fabulous. You&#8217;re wearing Cookie Monster jam-jam pants. I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;s just dying to have you back&#8230;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"275\" data-end=\"521\">Read More:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kfmx.com\/dating-streets-lubbock\/?utm_source=tsmclip&amp;utm_medium=referral\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">If Lubbock Streets Were People You Dated&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"777\" data-end=\"992\">Dust storms showing up out of nowhere should absolutely be regulated. One minute it\u2019s sunny, the next minute you\u2019re in a low-budget apocalypse movie, gripping the steering wheel like it\u2019s your last day on Earth.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1136\" data-end=\"1294\">Also, car washes during the windy season. Why are we even pretending this is a good idea? You pay money just to immediately get sandblasted back to square one. I&#8217;m calling BS on it all while the carwash guys are cramming cash in their pockets! Maybe I should reconsider my career path, now that I think about it&#8230;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1296\" data-end=\"1472\">And finally, thinking you can \u201cjust run one quick errand.\u201d That\u2019s not how this works. It\u2019s never one stop. It\u2019s never quick. Somehow, it turns into a full-blown experience. Facebook post and all. There is no such thing as a &#8220;quick errand&#8221; in Lubbock, Texas.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1474\" data-end=\"1578\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">None of this is technically illegal\u2014but in Lubbock, it probably should be.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1474\" data-end=\"1578\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Keep scrolling for more silly Lubbock fun in the galleries below!<\/p>\n<p>How To Tell A Lubbock Home is Haunted (Without Even Googling It)<\/p>\n<p>Ghosts around here seem to have a sense of humor, at least that&#8217;s what I heard&#8230;<\/p>\n<p class=\"photogallery-credit\">Gallery Credit: Chrissy<\/p>\n<p>What Went Wrong on Your Date?
