20 Signs You Grew Up In East Cobb

East Cobb, what a joyous and interesting place to grow up. It is one of those places that if you were to describe it to an outsider, the only thing you could say is, "imagine complete suburbia and that, my friend, is East Cobb."

1. The day East Cobb got a Goodwill, angels sang from above.

2. You're still upset that Chuck E. Cheese is gone. RIP to our favorite mouse.

3. You watched The Avenue go from young kid stores to middle-aged women stores (no offense, moms of East Cobb). Still miss you too, Fuzziwig's and Johnny Rockets.

4. Reading the quote of the week on the sign outside Sherlock's is the highlight of your drive down the 120 loop.

5. Latricia will forever be the best waitress at Waffle House.

6. You don't understand why there needs to be a Pollo Tropical next to the Moe's which is next to Tijuana Joe's.

7. Ordering a beer at Sub Tap feels weird because you're pretty sure your still 12 and not actually over 21.

8. All East Cobb moms know everything about everyone. It is scary.

9. You know every waiter and waitress at Bagelicious, and it is harder to decide whose section to sit in than it is to order.

10. To this day it doesn't make sense why East Side Elementary is nicer than Walton High School.

11. The fact that QT Corporate tore down the QT on Canton Road without asking, hurts more than they know.

12. Dollar sushi at Fuji Hana is the best and worst thing to happen to you.

13. Everyone has heard the rumor that Pope High School was built by a guy that also builds prisons.

14. No day was complete at Walton High School without Dr. Hand telling you that you had too much beauty showing, but also thanking you for coming to school today.

15. "Missy Elliot and Usher live down the street in the neighborhood with the big houses."

16. During your teenage angst period, you threatened to drive to Psycho Tattoo and get pierced or tatted up.

17. The cart escalators at Target make you feel fancy AF.

18. Everyone knows at least one person that has worked at Yogli Mogli or Brusters.

19. Anytime someone asks you where you're from and you reply with, "East Cobb" you get the same judging look followed by, "Oh, you're one of those East Cobb Snobs." YUP, I AM.

20. You couldn't imagine being raised in any other suburban bubble.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
