I moved to LA two years ago and I wish I could tell you that people in this city aren’t as strikingly similar to how they are portrayed on television, but we’re friends, so I won’t do that to you. LA people are just as vegan and gluten free and into yogalates as you could ever dream. I kind of love it. People are so true to their fake selves that it just reaffirms your faith in the fact that you can be anybody you want to be! That is, if you have enough money and a great plastic surgeon. Here are the 10 types of friends you make in LA.
Disclaimer: you do stumble upon great people in this amazing city, they’re just not nearly as entertaining to make fun of so they won’t be mentioned in this list.
Calm down Ricardo, you work at Super Cuts.
I didn’t like you when we were in kappa kappa alfalfa sprouts, I sure as hell don’t like you now, Bethany.
I’m pretty sure 99% of them are looking to get paid to receive a therapy session. “Well good morning, how’s your day going? Did you know my pet Chihuahua has a rare type of dog cancer and my second cousin who went to veterinary school for 4 months can’t save her? I’m just driving uber because I like to meet the people. It’s so nice to learn about other peoples lives…but I think my wife’s about to leave me. Do you know what I did wrong?”
They came here to make it big, they were “bus rider #1” in a show on the CW and won’t shut up about it. They were also your uber driver.
4:30 am- run, 5:30- arrive SoulCycle, 6-12pm- cycles soul, 12:30- eats 3 almonds, 12:45-6:00- rides elliptical, 6-8pm- sunset yoga, 9pm- writes a detailed Instagram post telling you “it’s just so easy to stay fit when you love what you do and have no job and 0% body fat”.
Hot bod. Semi-professional Photoshop skills. Her bio says she’s part of an agency but you’re beginning to doubt that since every time you hang out you get covered in sand taking upwards of 6,000 photos of this chick on the beach.
Posts lots of pictures of them holding a surfboard. Has every piece of gear required. Is absolutely terrified of the ocean and has never caught a wave. Everything is “so gnarly, brah”.
When I see a celebrity I freak TF out. When these people see a celebrity they say, “weird, Kim said she was going to the beach club today”. They’ve exhausted all the gluten free, raw vegan, no GMO, no calorie, no carb, no taste, no ugly people stores and are just “so over all these basic LA people”.
You met at a social event for aspiring entrepreneurs and he seems like he may have slightly more of a clue than you do about how to get your business idea off the ground. Your friendship hasn’t extended beyond LinkedIn.
There are an overwhelming number of stores in LA that sell exclusively overpriced juice. I honestly haven’t figured out how there’s a market that supports so many brands of $12 pureed grass. Chances are your friend works at one of these places and will tell you about the health benefits of chia and kale especially when you don’t ask.
