A-Holes!

Yes I'm talking to you. The a-hole-ish driving is bad enough but I cannot believe how uncivilized people are on this site. I mean just mean and nasty and hateful for no reason. Anyone from another county or state would NEVER move here after reading some of this stuff. If I hadn't already lived in Fairfax County for 8 years I sure wouldn't.

And then there's this pretentiousness like Fairfax County is the alpha and the omega. While you're busy getting ripped off paying personal property taxes to the county AND your city on top of the outrageous income tax, and getting a million parking and traffic tickets. One night there were some power outages due to lightning and I literally saw TEN full sized fire trucks go flying by in one area. Overkill?

You go in the Target in Falls Church on a Saturday afternoon and an Asian woman may reach over in front of your face to grab something off of the rack that you are standing in front of. While white yuppies and stay-at-home-moms will have extremely loud conversations about absolutely nothing (either with each other or on their cell phones) with their carts blocking the entire path.

Try going to the same place or a grocery store late at night and you run into the sketchiest people of all colors you have ever seen. I had some guys almost run into my car in one of the biggest combined parking lots around that was completely 100% empty. And go look at police reports for Falls Church. A whole lot more petty crime than you would ever think. Is is because there are so many cops and so much reporting or what?

In a Safeway parking lot I saw some hot-shot "mom" push her shopping cart in the vicinity of the cart stall, walk away, and get in her Mercedes SUV without ever looking back. Meanwhile, her cart was on its way to banging up a parked car or causing an accident in the nearby street.

One time on Route 1 in Alexandria, there was a woman who had been hit by a car in the middle of the crosswalk in front of the Wal-Mart (not the newer one). Guess what Fairfax Country drivers were doing at this very busy high traffic intersection? They were driving around her body so that they could get shopping!

I was sitting at a traffic light with a visiting relative from Ohio, and some guy in a business suit decides to jump out of his car and start cursing at the driver in front of him who was making a left turn instead of a right on red thus blocking everyone else in line. Embarrassing!

But yeah, Fairfax County is SO GREAT and better than the rest. Just admit that your county is just as crappy as everywhere else, just in its own unique Fairfax County way.

The funny part is that "shan1" already fits right in. Most victims - I mean users - have to conquer the learning-curve.

OP:

I've lived here many decades and have never encountered any situations like you've described. I'm not questioning that these incidents didn't happen but, rather, concluding they are not the norm; also, I suspect you filter out any favorable events that don't fit your sweeping pessimistic view.

I'm not a blind or naive Pollyanna; on the contrary, I am duly critical and circumspect about the world I see, but I believe human vices have always been on relatively equal display across time and space. Sure, different laws and cultures suppress or encourage different ones, but in the end you'll always find both good and bad behavior in any place you live.

You sound angry or depressed. I recommend counseling.

Oh yeah, those places aren't a part of FC, they're "somewhere else". And you've never been in one I'm sure! The Route 1 Wal Mart is the same as any Wal Mart anywhere. In fact the somewhat new Wal Mart near Huntington is the same.

So, as I was typing this rant I was fully aware of the fact that I am only reporting the worst things I've seen over time. Ordinarily, it's a pretty hum-drum place to be (except for any driving). I've met some really nice people in Fairfax county. It's not all bad, however what is quite pervasive is that certain uppity air that was proven by some of the responses to my post.


Angry or depressed wouldn't be the right description. More...ANNOYED. By the things I keep seeing on city-data and other sites from our friends and neighbors in Fairfax County. I've been holding that rant in for 8 years, thanks for reading!

Seriously, how can you even type something like that??? I swear, you made my point and more. Do you think you speak for the residents of Fairfax County? Maybe you would be doing FC a favor if YOU left. Would you say that to someone's face or are you just a secret a-hole online where you can hide behind anonymity?
My guess is the latter.

I've lived here, in Northern Virginia, my entire life. I started out in Hideaway Park in Fairfax County in the 60s, I migrated to a house in Mosby Woods in Fairfax City in the early 70s, then to a different house in Mosby Woods in Fairfax County in the late 70s, staying there until the mid-80s, then to just south of Herndon in Fairfax County for a couple of years. Later, I moved out of Fairfax for about ten years, returning to Lorton. From there I moved to Mount Vernon and then to my current home just outside the Beltway on Telegraph Road.

I have seen this area go from a nice place to live and raise a family to being a total shit hole. First the gooks moved in, then the spics - they trashed Fairfax. Now, Fairfax is overrun with both. Most of the whites here are from someplace else and are obsessed with turning my stomping grounds into California. The only decent people I run into anymore are people who have always lived here.

I have come to hate this place and I look forward to every chance I have to get the hell out of here for a few days -- just going to PA for a few days shows me enough contrast to validate my opinion of Fairfax and Northern Virginia, in general. The problem is, I am stuck in Fairfax. It is not possible for me to just pull up and relocate. I feel like a prisoner sentenced to a life of misery. I hate that I have to live here.

Anybody here, who wasn't born and raised here, is an A-Hole!

I've been in NOVA continuously since the mid sixties and it's definitely changed for the worst. Overbuilt, over populated and over taxed. I've lived in Vienna, Fairfax and just outside of Herndon over the years. I gotta agree with One-Way that for the most part the only decent people you run into are the natives. Just getting away from this area for a little while, practically anywhere, really shows how shitty most people are in this area. I'm not too far from being able to retire and then I'm getting the hell out. Hopefully I'm not too damaged from living in this area for so long and I feel sorry for anyone who is trapped here.

This place has been inundated with self-serving, impatient, sue-happy dip shits. There's no such thing as a good neighbor around here anymore. When I was growing up, everybody in the neighborhoods knew each other. We all looked out for each other and had fun together. Not anymore. Fairfax sucks.

Since democrats took over the counties answer to every problem is to raise taxes. First that worthless connolly then bulova. They cater to illegals and moochers and tell the taxpayers to shut up and pay. They have the mindset that everyone in the county makes over $125,000 a year and can afford the annual increase in taxes.
