Looking at how to ‘piss off’ a Vancouverite

By

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Do you want to annoy someone from Lotus Land?  Then, go on about hipsters, Nickelback and the constant rain!

Local writer, coffee snob and enjoyer of craft beer, Kate Siobhan Havercroft has written a guide on “How to piss off a Vancouverite.”  It includes such irritants to West Coasters as ignoring proper umbrella etiquette, asking us if we like BC Bud or if we do yoga.

Annoying.  Sure.  And of course we do, or something else just as trendy, because it’s beautiful and mild here and we have to stay in tip-top shape to be seen outdoors all the time.

Another piss-off?  Pointing out it rains a lot.  Havercroft points out nobody moves to Vancouver for the rain, it’s for what’s associated with it; proximity to ocean, mild climate, year-round greenery, and lush dense ancient rainforests.  “Wow, that does sound pretty awful.  Let’s all leave.  But, you go first.  Don’t worry, we’ll be right behind you,” she quips.

Nickelback?  Okay we’re sorry about them, but Havercroft points out they’re not from here originally.  The band started in Alberta.

Also don’t litter, rollerblade the seawall if you don’t know how or call a Vancouverite a snob.

Okay, the last one is actually true.  “We’re beautiful people living in a beautiful city.  We have impeccable taste and high standards.  So sue us,” writes Havercroft.
