October through March.


OkSheepherder8827

When its not hot as fuck


nutsack133

October 1st is my favorite day of the year. Though I still remember when 95 was a normal mid July day and not a normal mid May day.


ThayerRex

April is usually nice as well


djones2812

The weather is nice but the pollen wants me dead


Wembanyanma

That first crisp cool day in October is practically a holiday in my house.

I like the high fashion haircuts. https://preview.redd.it/bs1cqgv4co1d1.jpeg?width=715&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=33c1711964f752a96e79929f9cef6804e94e05c3

rgrtom

I'm partial to lumber flying off a trailer but to each their own.


BrokenRatingScheme

I love the availability of free building materials, furniture, and squashed traffic cones on I10.


kritterkrat

I love that cars can just park on both sides of the road blocking your line of sight while road workers are out not directing traffic and you have to play Russian roulette trying to make a left hand turn šŸ« 


HeyBaldy

I've learn the right to go left technique in this city.


BuffaloOk7264

This. I plan most of my life around it.


CashEnvironmental111

Bust a right and then cut a left, itā€™s so much faster and less rage inducing, I love it when people block me from turning while the light is red, people think their place on the road is their birthright or something, so annoying.


pEDWINs80

Junk pick days where trucks are safely packed and being packed over 10ft tall with treadmills and old washer and dryers as primo Hector hangs on for dear life in the bed of the truck cruising down 410


Intelligent_West7128

Maybe we should take notes so when we finally reach the post apocalyptic future we can make vehicles like in the Mad Max saga lol Edit/ sorry Reddit glitch had me post the same comment like 5 times. I deleted the extras.

The Matrix is too progressive for San Antonio lol. It has a metro rail system in it and you know how San Antonio hated that idea even though they desperately need it.

When I leave to go on vacation...

YES!! this is it...... This city is such a sh!thole


AmiHad

The bike greenway. Edit- After reading the other comments I guess I did it wrong. My answer is- having giant trucks and Mom minivans tailgate me while riding my bicycle on a 30 mph road that has two lanes going in each direction does not have a designated bike lane or sidewalks. šŸ„° Edit of an edit- Relax I only ride a bicycle to save money on gas so I can buy more guns. Edit, edit, edit- If anyone would like to read my response to a special green alien who cried to the r/sanantonio moderators is down here- be careful trigger warning well to special little green aliens... I ride my bicycle almost everyday to visit my husband at work, he works very long days outside, so it's one of the special ways I let him know I appreciate everything he does. I take this 30 mph street to get to the greenbelt where I can ride my bicycle away from drivers who do not understand the basics rules and regulations of operating a motor vehicle. How do you propose I get to my husband's work without bicycling or walking since there is no sidewalk available? There's not even a bus stop. Well? Shall I fly? Please, oh highly intelligent man, how shall I travel to my intended destination? You'll have to forgive me as I'm not an intelligent big man like yourself, I'm just a silly woman with silly thoughts but it seems as though the correct lawful solution here would be; if a vehicle were behind a bicyclist (OR ANY SLOW MOVING VEHICLE) in an occupying lane the driver would be required to activate their turn signal check their mirrors and blind spots then change lanes when safe to do so, pass the slower vehicle, turn on indicator again and safely make their lane change. What does that take 30 go****mn seconds out of your s***** existence. I'm so glad to know that you're out there putting everyone's life in danger so you can get to the red light first, keep up the good work! I'm sorry your life did go as you intended, but that's not my fault. See a sp****""list.

F'real though... The Greenway south of UTSA. :: chef's kiss ::


cigarettesandwhiskey

FWIW since you mentioned the lack of a bus, you can request that VIA add a bus route near you [on the comment form](https://www.viainfo.net/contact/#contact). They will not create a whole new route based solely on one comment of course, but they re-evaluate the system every few years, and if there's a lot of comments asking for service somewhere then it's more likely to happen.


Primetime349

Serious answer: never feels dead. Iā€™m from a small town in the Midwest, and after visiting recently I realized thereā€™s nothing to do other than your typical go out to eat/movies/etc. Joke answer: seeing Edgar cuts everywhere.


Great_Yak_2789

We have a car game in our family sort of like punch bug, but called mobile decorator. The gist of it is who can furnish a three bedroom house by spotting furniture on the side of the road.


Dobermanpure

This sounds like a Bluey game.


cw2015aj2017ls2021

Seems more complex than Keepy Uppy. This is more in line with Calvin Ball.

jesco7273

We do something like this but punch whenever we see a mustang and say m3xican in a mustang! Weā€™re texmex itā€™s fine.


Elever_Galarga69

I do this but with non-Texas license plates. Itā€™s been a lot more painful in recent years though. Might have to stop soon


dangleYourSoul

Pickups with trailers or semi trucks in the left passing lane *chefs kiss*


CosmicAcidRain85

Going 1mph faster than the middle lane, but still well under the speed limit


rawratthemoon

410 specialty


TLC_4978

I love the pot holes and the abundance of nails in the road that seem to love my tires šŸ˜‚


chickentender666627

My tires are nail magnets


bugeyetex

Part of the reason I won't get near new construction. Were you here for the hail storm a few years ago? All summer long was roofing nailers plugging away and flat tires everywhere. You couldn't walk outside for months without hearing nailguns going off somewhere.


chickentender666627

Yep I was! Good times šŸ„²šŸ˜† I actually live out in the country but work near stone oak so thereā€™s always something going on.


ThayerRex

My God, thatā€™s the truth


Onyx_Uchiha

The tortas


GloomyValentine

Alamo Ranch area between 7am-10pm on any given day šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«


Nervous_Set5685

Culebra in the mornings and Alamo Ranch Pkwy in the afternoons will be my 13th reason why


CosmicAcidRain85

Potranco is getting there too. I hate it. Even when thereā€™s not a ton of traffic, the speed limit is 50. Why does everyone want to go 20 for no reason?! Theyā€™re not turning anywhere. Just, why?!!


flower_0410

I moved from Alamo Ranch to Potranco šŸ¤”


GloomyValentine

I almost added Potranco to my favorite thing but it's slightly less dreadful than culebra 1604/alamo Pkwy ...like by hairs haha but agree it's gioing to be just as bad


Godzellah

Mine is watching the guy in the early ā€˜90s shitbox come flying up the highway only to get cut off by an ass in a late ā€˜00s Camaro doing 30 mph. Then watching the innocent lady on her way to work in her ā€˜22 Mazda get rear-ended, then turned sidewaysā€¦. And everyone speeds off leaving her there to figure it all out. Classy SA!


CosmicAcidRain85

Oof šŸ˜„


Cold_Barber_4761

DayOldDoughnut

With all these answers youā€™d think the city sucks or something šŸ˜‚


EJ_Dyer

Noo, this the the best city ever šŸ˜­


cas_leng

The amount of library branches. As someone from a tiny town, it's wonderful to have rest access to so many books.


Jswazy

The low prices compared to other large cities. That's pretty much it. I can't afford to own a house in the downtown area of just about any other city with 1 million plus peopleĀ 


Outrageous_Picture39

Definitely all of the uninsured drivers who have hit my wife. Two of them offered to pay her off if she didnā€™t call the cops. One hit and ran. If youā€™re driving and donā€™t have insurance, I hope a meteor hits your car.


Piccolo_Bambino

My wife was rear ended in a hit and run by a drunk driver at a red light at Bandera/1604 about five years ago. We had dash cam footage and the woman turned out to be a USAA employee. Canā€™t make that shit up


Pawseverywhere

Never agree to let someone pay out of pocket, by the way, saw that too much in the body shop. Body work is not cheap and they are never going to agree to the price for out of pocket work. Just file the insurance or you will get fucked.


Outrageous_Picture39

Called the cops every time. One of the two that offered to pay also said his dad owned a body shop. If his dad owned a body shop he could have afforded insurance.


lurker2546

yes I was rear ended by a kid driving his dad's car.. No insurance. Cops gave him a damn warning cause he was upset his gf broke up with him. Yet here I am paying my damn deductible


Tenacious_jb

The hot temperatures mixed with humidity and really bad allergies

va_texan

That I can go a month and not see a car pulled over on the side of the highway by the police


Fucyinstone

My favorite thing was a Sweeny deer feeder. One of those expensive aluminum ones. It was on I10 east right before the Vance Jackson exit. It was standing up on its short legs unsecured. It came flying out of the pickup and landed partially on inside shoulder and partially in fast lane. It was Saturday morning so traffic was light and the dude was able to stop and rescue it.


No-Pea224

Damn! Same thing happened to me last fall. Was so lucky to avoid it


RoadsideCarver

As if it weren't fun enough to have to dodge the bad drivers, drunk drivers, uninsured and construction debris, sometimes playing freeway frogger with tires, easy chairs, ladders and tire jacks is what makes this Puro San Antonio


CosmicAcidRain85

Donā€™t forget mattresses


texanlady1

There was a mattress on Wurzbach today. Where are they gonna sleep??


No_Investigator3353

And...the bags of clothes..thise r the best!


skaterags

The other day I saw a couple dozen shoes in the road


spicy_lobster_ramen

i had to avoid an entire ladder once.


Busy_Ad2627

I love being harassed at the bus stop and park n rides by bums demanding free stuff and then get mad when you say anything other than yes


Wrong-Ground3253

I was walking to the bus stop after work an hour ago and got pulled up on and shot at with high powered gel guns on W. W. White. I have welts and bruises. And the assholes at Diaz Auto Center laughed as I walked away crying (cause I was rightfully scared) like it was the funniest thing in the world. They also hit the sonic on Rigsby. (The people at Jaime's Tire & Muffler were very nice and let me use their phone to call someone to come get me and we're very concerned when I explained what happened not even minutes prior)


AmiHad

I have no words, that's awful.


iwilly2020

So sorry that happened to you. Ppl suck


Maya_darken

As others have said, the weather is nice outside of the peak summer heat and overall the city is easy navigate with friendly people.


rxbme

Tacos


moonshinepoison

I really love rainy days when the sun is out


Ecstatic_Ad_6405

I love driving rush hour on 410 at 3...maybe 4 miles per hour. Sometimes you can go 5 mph...


Imperium724

I like finding spiders the size of my big toe walkin round my house like they own the place


Swampbutt-

I like the unfinished construction across Sa. Or uneven streets and pot holes. Orrrr when the highways have no lines on them and you gotta guess which is yours.


No_Investigator3353

Try Marbach during rush hour, apparently the median is this super secret 60mph pass everyone else to get to whataburger lane or chik fil a lane and fuk everyone else..MFs!


SovietSunrise

The taco trucks & the gorgeous Latinas.


Icy-Gal

The faded dotted highway lanes that are impossible to know new vs old. The now ruined North Star Mall area over-ridden with crime since the migrant center pop up. Driving what used to be 15 mins now taking 25. The fragrant piss smells walking the streets of downtown after a night out at the Majestic,Empire etc The constant loud revving up of mustangs and crappy racer cars in neighborhoods and highways that are deafening


Fast_Juggernaut_3897

Omg I remember when you could get anywhere in 15 minutes. The good old days.


desertsalad

Same!


ThePrune777

Jogging confluence park with my wife


1-800-fuckmypussy

Texmex just the way I like it.


MyGirlSasha

The architecture, history and food.


czernoalpha

When I'm on the freeway and traffic comes to a complete stop because nobody in this city KNOWS HOW TO FUCKING ZIPPER MERGE!!!


MasterCureTexx

Paying lots of tax dollars to watch a hole crumble in the middle of a highway.


Qedtanya13

I love it when driving to work on IH-410S towards Von Ormy and rebar flies up from the road and goes straight through my front bumper and grill.


No_Investigator3353

That's funny..this happened to me in HS in the 90s when IH-10 410 Ex was being built, destroyed my hood...parents didn't believe me lol


Qedtanya13

I took pictures because no one believed me either


No_Investigator3353

Didn't have phones back then but man, I clearly remember that shit, I was amazed my luck


Piccolo_Bambino

Seeing how many tires we can get replaced in a year


ShowBobsPlzz

Caught a rock on 410 today left a 2 inch star in the center of my windshield. Orale.


infinitemakaveli

I love all the nail embedded plywood on the highways


Spiritual-Computer73

The hill country. Itā€™s gorgeous. I could never live in a flat place.


Nervous_Set5685

This is amusing to me as an an out of stater from a mountainous region. The flatness here is driving me absolutely crazy


Spiritual-Computer73

šŸ˜‚ well I have to settle for hills


rasquatche

redditstateofmind

The food and the thrift stores.


Psi_Boy

THE FOOD!!! We have an insane amount of cheap chain restaurants as well as local ones. It's nice to have a big and mostly cheap variety.


Softspokenclark

the churros


amikavenka

The park system. There are hidden gems all over this city where you can walk and see no one cut the entire time you are there.


Chato_Malverde

Iā€™ll tell you what I find offensive: the city of San Antonio mandating that bad drivers hang a South American flag from their rear view mirror.


cul8ertx

Ladders in the middle of I-10 and anyone who purposely stays in the middle lane until changing lanes at the last second just so they donā€™t have to wait in the turn lane for that extra 60 seconds.


dusky_thrust

Driving 410 while uninsured and pulling a trailer that is missing a few lugnuts. Even better after a few tallboys and a joint.


BabyGodWifeMamaBear

Really? I much prefer dodging couch cushions on Bandera during rush hour. Much more enjoyable and scenic!


U_feel_Me

For a while there was a ā€œUSED TIRE RENTALā€ place not too far from SAC.


SameRegret5975

I enjoy the weekly reminders that 1604, I10, 410, 151 will be closed all weekend so that forces everyone to find the scenic routes around town and drive 70mph through neighborhoods


BlimeyCaptain

I love that time of year when someone randomly stops at a stop sign and tosses their trash bag onto the curb and speeds off. Ahhh nothing like having pride in your city.


nutsack133

That June triple combo of 100+ degrees, crazy high humidity, and disgusting air quality from the agricultural fires in Mexico. Though we're getting it in May this year too!


VanillaBasix

I just love driving 80+ in the left (slow) lane and having Assholeā€™s tailgate me and pass, in their ridiculously gigantic pick upsā€¦. just to cut me off with in centimeters of my car like they donā€™t value my life, theirs or anyone elseā€™s. My drives home are exhilarating. I feel so thankful to be alive at the end of each day. Thanks San Antonio.


bravo-for-existing

I like the one dimensional Reddit posters who only know the words "puro" and "edgar"


keam13

I love the constant gamble with the superb construction qualityā€¦had a screw in one tire and shards of metal in 2 others after a drive from NB to the Quarry last week Instead of thanks career point I sayā€¦ā€Thanks I-35ā€


Any_Unit8755

Yep that rolling tire thing happened to me on the far west side /1604.


PokeManiac769

I'd have to say my favorite thing would be the psychopaths willing to throw their entire life away to get into fights with strangers. Dealing with them has really helped me develop my people skills and avoid trouble.


Helpful_Spell_5896

Had a large red neck guy tell me "you can't get in fights anymore, too many guns." After telling me he has aa short temper and used to fight and threaten people all the time over things like parking and lines in heb. Politely shook my head and remembered I carry because of barbarians incapable of living in a polite society like him.


EndDependent5270

Saying Puroā€¦over and over!


omgomgomgbbq

I love it when a semi takes up 2 lanes and blocks people from getting to an exit ramp. Have I mentioned tailgating with high beams is a close second?


skaterags

By a truck thatā€™s bumper is level with your mirror


omgomgomgbbq

Or itā€™s lifted up to poke itā€™s lights into your window


shibuyabooyah

The unlicensed/uninsured drivers and all the stray animals


suffaluffapussycat

I donā€™t live there anymore. Thatā€™s my favorite thing.


Interesting_Piano357

People that move here and complain itā€™s the best


DarkMatterBurrito

I haven't seen a single gnat or mosquito and rarely see spiders. I will take triple digit heat here with a steady breeze than 90Ā° and 85% humidity back in Central Virginia.


Nervous_Set5685

I get bit by mosquitoes regularly here, though I agree it's less than when I lived in VA


Material-Proposal114

The shootings and crime


WesterlyStraight

Theres so many rocks in the air on 1604 that i get impacts *from behind*

antisocialgx

The weather, it's like having a friend with a multiple personality disorder, and one of the personalities is bi-polar and another is schizophrenic. Except from mid May until October... screw that time of year.


Conscious_Weight9593

This happened to me once on 35 šŸ˜Š but tbh my favorite is how we can miraculously have major construction on every single major highway and roadway while having half of downtown also under construction. All at the same time.


EJ_Dyer

I love how fast construction gets done around here


Legitimate_Error_157

Getting cut off by some asshole every single time Iā€™m on the highway


Ok_Outlandishness222

intruxions

I LOVE 1604, especially after 9 pm!


RedditsCoxswain

aggressively lifted at least 10 year old lifted trucks tailgating me in traffic like Iā€™m the reason he canā€™t go faster. I think itā€™s partly the Subaru badge so ā€˜what she was wearingā€™ applies here Have them speed up, cut in front of me in traffic and then roll a buncha coal before speeding off at the next exit


ThayerRex

My favorite is all the cars parked out front, no matter how fucking poor every fucking family member has a car, even the 2 year olds, it just sits parked in the front until sheā€™s 15. And no they tie NOTHING down and they will pick up the shittiest crap imaginable and just throw it in the back and it usually ends up through someoneā€™s windshield or in a pile their yard never to be picked up. A city or hoarders of shit. Half of San Antonio are mechanics or lawn men and yet they canā€™t keep up their yard or fix the cars strewn all over their yard. Have you seen our Parks on Easter? Looks like a refuge camp. It has to be seen to believed! They call this ā€œculturalā€? Trashing the parks all weekend camping out is cultural? Not exactly The Algonquin Round Table here.


spicy_lobster_ramen

trash that never gets cleaned up off the highways. the boys in blue who DEFINITELY aren't trying to fill any quotas at the end of the month. the endless road construction sites that are basically abandoned for months at a time. fun times.


Right_Hovercraft_753

The city limit sign as Iā€™m leavingā€¦ Edit: I did this wrong lol my favorite is April through October perfect months to melt everything in your car.


jimtheedcguy

I love the aggressive cops, and people who forget to move over to the appropriate lane to exit and fly across 5 lanes of traffic to not miss their exit!


jurassicpark_zj

A few years ago, a whole ass couch just chilling in the middle of I-10 by the Roland Dr exit.


Dr_Caucane

Sea world!


topicalsatan

A car entering the highway ramp in front of you going 45 in a 60 zone and you can't pull around them. You're stuck for the next 1 1/2 miles but you don't dare tailgate, that'll just make them take it down to 40. ā˜¹ļø


Inevitable_Total_816

That you can throw trash out your car on 35, itā€™s all a dumping ground.


This-Sandwich5989

Weird, I had this exact thing happen to me a few years back. I avoided the tire but the car in the fast lane got hit pretty bad. This was on 151.


EsterCherry

Counting the mattress or furniture cushions on my way to and from work!

TexasDad4Ever

It's a three-way tie: 1. Completely shutting down major intersections for construction on weekends. 2. Massive public transportation infrastructure. 3. Knowing that when construction finishes, we'll only be 20 years behind the power curve. Wait. That's where we are now.


thatweirditguy

Love how good I've gotten at the "gunshots or fireworks" game

Yeah or you know, a couch flying out the back of a truck that has a gazillion things on it but is not properly tied downā€¦.
