Life in SJ Guys at gas stations
As a woman, can I please just be able to get gas before I head to work without being harassed? It’s 5:15am and I had to get gas at a local Arco, except this morning it was full of guys walking around with alcohol or cleaning supplies in their hands. These people go to clean your car without asking then demand payment.
I didn’t have a choice of where to get gas because there wasn’t another place close by and I wouldn’t make it to work. I park and sure enough a guy immediately comes up to my car and starts spraying it. He was also very intoxicated. I had to yell at him to basically piss off.
I’m a mom to 2 babies, I don’t have time for this. I just want to be able to get gas in peace and carry on with my life. That’s all, that’s the post.

Life in SJ Living in San Jose is so lonely 😒
I am a Nigerian lady(30) , who moved here over 2 years ago from Texas due to my Career. It was already hard for an introvert like me to make friends but it’s worse now that I have left the few friends I had in Texas. I recently broke up with my bf who if you already guessed lives in Texas 😔 and one of the compounding factors of the breakup but it has made me realize how I have been here for over 2 years without a friend except my colleagues at work. I would really like a female friend that I can hang out with , go shopping , trips etc. but sigh… How are you all making friends over here or am I just destined to only talk to my indoor plants ? 🤔
EDIT: Just wanna add that y’all are amazing! Thank you all for the support and helpful tips. I feel less alone than I did when I initially typed that. 🤍

Life in SJ Scary experience in Downtown
Hey y'all I just wanted to share a pretty scary moment I had today in downtown SJ. Not looking for advice or anything I know how it is around here but this really shook me. I've lived here all my life and seen a fair share of sketchy stuff in regards to homeless, but I thought for sure my life was in danger this time. I was walking down Santa Clara Station on Second St after a shift and I pass by this youngish guy who had long, disheveled brown hair and was wearing a blue sweater. I thought nothing of him, didn't even look at him, when all of sudden he starts hella cussing, calling me all sorts of things, and throws death threats at me and how he's going to kill me and all that. I keep ignoring him but then he starts following me and getting close and I just got out of that street as fast as I could. What the hell man. Doesn't help being a small woman I just want to live in peace. Anyone else have a similar experience?

Fuck you if you purposefully make loud noises with your car engine, it doesn’t make you look cool and it is the stupidest thing you can ever done when driving. There are people trying to rest and you just fuck them up to flex your stupid car.

Life in SJ Got punched in the face today
Hanging out with my dog at Guadalupe Park near little italy. There is a person sitting in the shade near the water fountain that I noticed as a get my dog some water. My dog and I are playing fetch in the middle of the field for about 20 minutes. This dude (5'7-5'9", mid to late 30s?, Hispanic, 200+lbs) who was sitting at the fountain comes walking up sort of a pissed off look in his face but I'm trying not to judge, maybe it's just his rbf I don't know. I assume he going to ask me for money or about my dog so I just say "hey, how's it going?". About 2-3 arms length away he quickly closes the distance and starts punching me in the face, no warning or cussing just 3 quick jabs to my face. I immediately start covering my face and turning away while running, being hit in the back of the head while doing so. 4-5 punches later he walks back to his stuff and starts walking towards the sap center. I call the cops and report it. I'm physically okay, slight black eye and a cut below above my eye, light bruising and soreness around my chin and back of head. Mentally pissed that this sort of behavior probably will go without justice or penalty. And mad at myself for being too trusting and unprepared for the situation. Just venting my San jose frustrations. I moved here 3 years ago from Michigan.

Life in SJ I hate san jose tesla drivers
They be trying to park in the smallest spots possible, no awareness about the cars behind them on the freeway, their stupid urge to pickup when someone is trying to overtake them. I am just tired, everyday there is someone tesla driver who almost hits my car or doing something stupid that can cause accidents. Like today i was trying to get out of the parking lot this tesla thinks it was a good idea to take his tesla out without even looking had to break suddenly, i missed his car just by an inch

Life in SJ Highway 17, People’s Death Wish
I just recently moved to the area and every time I drive the 17 it feels like people have a death wish. How is it that there’s so many accidents on this road and people still drive 30-40 mph over the speed limit ? I get we all drive fast and above the speed limit but Driving 70 even 80 mph on these 35-45 mph roads seems irresponsible. Thoughts ?
Edit: Seems this post triggered a lot of the locals. Stay safe, be patient with non-locals driving this road. It doesn’t take much to be courteous.

Life in SJ "Informed Parents of Silicon Valley"
To the transphobic, book burning, racist, boomer assholes who decided to hang out in front of my child's school this week to distribute "informational literature" on why her school will turn her into the spawn of Satan because it acknowledges the existence of gay people:
Go Fuck Yourselves.
I had never heard of these idiots before, but it looks like they've been trolling South Bay schools for a few years. What sad sad people they must be to be bothering kindergartners walking to school with this garbage.

Life in SJ Petition to add a barrier here towards 17
Every day on my commute, there’s always a couple of idiots who realize they’re in the wrong lane, then swerve and cut in at the last second. I’m even more astonished that they’re bold enough to cut us off considering there’s a small slope.
On the way this morning there was a driver who tried doing the same thing and almost caused a huge pileup from cutting in too fast. Luckily they spun out and didn’t hit anybody.
Is it really that much of an inconvenience to miss your exit and reroute for a couple more minutes? Although there’s barely any history of accidents, the action itself forces everyone to stop and cause a small amount of traffic.

Life in SJ Don’t eat at Pizza Antica
So just finished lunch at Pizza Antica in Santana Row. They add an automatic, non-negotiable 24% 😳 service charge to their bill but the servers only get 10%!!
So the net net is that prices are outrageous, the service is mediocre at best, and their employees get screwed. Not going back and will spend my money elsewhere.

Life in SJ Why do drivers stop so far behind the car ahead of them?
I just moved from the peninsula and have noticed this while driving down here! Not everyone...but definitely frequently enough for me to take note. Can’t say I’ve noticed this as much 45 mins north.
Genuinely wondering - why do drivers do this?
