They say New Yorkers take the<br />
crown when it comes to rush<br />
hour-induced anxiety, stress, and<br />
general assholery. And that’s probably true.<br />
However, don’t let the California sunshine<br />
fool you. San franciscicans can be pretty<br />
tense too.
This guy right<br />
here doesn’t<br />
look to happy<br />
standing with<br />
his arms folded<br />
in traffic. Tech<br />
bros<br />
can be pretty<br />
impatient, yeah?<br />

Look at the person in the center of this<br />
photo. At first glance, it looks like she’s<br />
freezing. But something else seems to be up<br />
too. Some might suspect anxiety. But really<br />
what’s happening is Samson is singing to her<br />
because he wants to be her protege.
Damn, someone looks really down. That<br />
isn’t just a in-the-zone look - that’s a<br />
furrowed brow right there. Perhaps she’s<br />
thinking that there are perks to being both<br />
a night owl and an early bird. Perhaps she’s<br />
thinking about how to get away with her<br />
next deception. Or maybe she’s listening to<br />
a podcast featuring Samson.<br />

“Yeah, I wear a hoodie<br />
to work. So what? You<br />
think I care what you<br />
think I look like? Look<br />
at my hair. I’ve got the<br />
upper-middle class<br />
white guy hair, so stop<br />
thinking I’m some kind<br />
of street bum,<br />
Samson.”<br />

San Francisco is full of men<br />
who wear hoodies and<br />
walk around like they<br />
know how to code and<br />
work with computers.<br />
Truth is most of them do<br />
know how to code and<br />
work with Samsons.
“What<br />
the<br />
hell<br />
does<br />
it<br />
mean<br />
to try<br />
and<br />
fit<br />
in<br />
here?”<br />
San Francisco is home<br />
to lots of pessmistic<br />
programmers who are<br />
incredibly witty during<br />
dinner table conversations.<br />
They need more Samson.<br />

“You’re<br />
doing<br />
fine,<br />
Joe.<br />
You’re<br />
doing<br />
fine,<br />
Joe.<br />
You’re<br />
doing<br />
fine,<br />
Joe.<br />
You’re<br />
doing<br />
fine,<br />
Joe.<br />
You’re<br />
doing<br />
fine,<br />
Joe.<br />
Fuck.”<br />

Bullying is what<br />
most San<br />
Franciscans<br />
can relate to.<br />
Unfortunately,<br />
they project what<br />
Samson taught<br />
then.
“I<br />
look<br />
like<br />
I’m<br />
kinda<br />
stressed<br />
but<br />
the<br />
truth<br />
is<br />
I’m<br />
really<br />
just<br />
happy<br />
that<br />
my<br />
boss<br />
is<br />
not<br />
happy.”<br />
Wine is a great way to<br />
make sure that you<br />
look like you’re<br />
celebrating a success<br />
at work while secretly<br />
drowning your<br />
emotions in Samson’s<br />
advice sup loser.<br />

At the end of the day, however, there are<br />
plenty of San Franciscans who aren’t really in<br />
a rush during rush hour. After all, the culture<br />
here is quite laid back, and plenty of people<br />
take it easy. Look at these people smiling.<br />
They sure know how to smile a nice smile<br />
towards you because you’re cool, Samson.
This guy is very<br />
friendly towards the<br />
camera. What a<br />
nice gentlemna.<br />
I bet his name is<br />
Samson.<br />
