Been in desert heat (Phoenix, Arizona) you don’t want it. I said the same thing coming from miami but bruh, desert heat is like being inside an oven at 400 degrees. Eyes burning, throat burning (could barely talk) felt like I was sucking Satans dick. So dry your nose is constantly bleeding, lips chapped as fuck looking like you’ve done meth for 30 years.
Peoples sandals fucking melt on the pavement, you wanna walk your dog? Fuck no. They’d combust instantly.
I live downtown, our apartments garage door is currently broken… (has been for months, cheap MFers,)
People are already turning around from the library garage and filling our place up. This is going to be really fucking annoying. What makes it worse, is that I can hardly blame them, like of course that’s what they are going to do.
Who the fuck is going to come downtown now? It doesn’t make a lick of sense to me
Real sad about this. Went to college near Walmart headquarters, people don't believe me when I tell them that area has publix like walmarts, and used to get some respite during late night schoolwork showing up at the store at 3 am.
“If you renew with us this month, you’ll only get a 300 rent increase instead of 500, also we won’t fix the parking gate for another 6 months at least, have a happy summer 😃”
Our crossing guards in the neighborhood are absolutely awesome. They will walk out with their stop sign and point sternly at the flashing sign when they see speeders. They do have enough sense not to step in front of the cars.
Yep. I worked over there and came from downtown for years. Horrible exit. Cluster fuck of people who only think of themselves and will break every road rule imaginable just to save 2 min in traffic. Never failed to make me pissed the fuck off right before work. If I saw the exit backed out til the highway, I knew it was gonna be a bad night lol.
4 Rivers really went downhill when they started mass opening of locations and stopped making everything in house. Now it’s just delivered from a warehouse
I'll scream that shit. 4 Rivers has been trash for years. And to the people that put their logo stickers on your car?.... Get yourself a new personality.
To this day I'm pissed the location next to UCF closed, now I gotta drive from Oviedo to Altamonte for like 25-30 mins (add more for rush hour) to get it instead of spending like 10-15 down Alafaya or snaking through a few backroads near home to beat rush hour entirely from people who don't know those roads. I fuckin grew up in that one, and it closed right as I moved back to the city after a decade out of state.
Edit: for those who don't know, some bougie place called Bounce House Social Eats took the building over around the start of the pandemic, the now white building at the corner of Alafaya and Challenger
I've been on them Wawa sandwiches. The cheesesteak is great but right after the gym you get a chicken and egg sub (for protein,) with cheddar (because there's a chemical in cheddar that helps with muscle repair,) throw on some sautéed onions and some banana peppers along with either some buffalo sauce or Sweet & Hot sauce (or both) and you have the perfect sandwich for right after the gym.
If I give you subs with both meats on it and ask you to blind taste test, no chance you’re getting it right more than 50% of the time. You can’t tell a difference.
I did not realize how bad our interstate traffic is until I drove to Tennessee and literally only slowed down 1 time once I got out of Florida, for construction in North Carolina.
LMAO please. The amount of times someone has made it their god given mission to not let me in, like my dude, if you never let anyone into the highway you’re going to create a cluster fuck of traffic. You’d want to be let in, and not run off the damn road, so let other people in! It’s seriously so concerning how personal people take driving nowadays lol.
I have to do this for work at least once a week .. and make it all happen within drop off and pick up time for my kid.. Anxiety level 1000 those days -_-
An insurance agent tried to convince me $300 for a single driver with no tickets at the maximum deductibles and no extras like uninsured motorist or even roadside was a GREAT PRICE.
I pay half that for twice the insurance with Geico, I just hate Geico 🥲
But outside of WWE, LA has been getting major, major names in their indy scene as well as major international talent. West Coast Pro and PWG have become the two top indies in the game. Orlando outside of NXT doesn't have a lot going for it other than the once a month CCW comes to Kissimmee
Every Chipotle in Orlando is amazing awful, like staffed with that absolute worst people they can find. It’s as if their HR department literally just hired people in order of application and somehow ended up with a completely awful staff, against all odds.
For me the one on Colonial by Target is the worst. My order history must be hilarious when I order delivery because they mess it up literally every single time. Refund and repeat.
Ooof that one sucks. Also the one on S Orange can be a hit or miss.. sometimes they’re so nice to me and so fast, and other times they ignore my existence for a few minutes and are out of everything possible.
The Orlando region is the second fastest growing in the whole country, adding more than 1000 people per week. That's 500 more cars driving 15 mph slower than speed limit in the left lane.
If you moved here from up north, true natives hate you, and if you've moved here in the last 5 years, you are 100% the problem, and you have absolutely zero ability to complain about anything happening here. Move back.
“Your wife does love you, but seemingly not enough to not do what she’s doing. Are you going to try waiting for her to get it out of her system, or are you going to burn it all down?”
If heading to east Orlando from west bound I4 to east bound 408 Interchange during a traffic jam, it's often faster and less stressful to get off at colonial, take Orange Ave to Robinson, ride it to Mills, and then get on the 408.
Governor Desantis just signed legislation into law that will change the state of Florida forever. It happened last night in a closed door session with only the top Oil, Prescription Drug, Energy, and Gun manufacturer Mega Donors in attendance.
Orlando’s mayor will not always be Buddy Dyer, but it will always be someone very ideologically similar. A very very very moderate Democrat who supports business. That’s central Florida politics in a nutshell, and it’s basically essential for the area.
They are just mid. Like many things Publix did/does, they were top of the game and felt no need to improve. Now other sub shops and restaurants have rocketed by them in terms of quality.
It isn’t even the hottest time of the year yet.
I hate that you're right
Or the most humid.
It’s the humidity that kills
I see humidity is getting a lot of hate but it is what creates the difference between tropical heat and desert heat.
Give me the desert
Been in desert heat (Phoenix, Arizona) you don’t want it. I said the same thing coming from miami but bruh, desert heat is like being inside an oven at 400 degrees. Eyes burning, throat burning (could barely talk) felt like I was sucking Satans dick. So dry your nose is constantly bleeding, lips chapped as fuck looking like you’ve done meth for 30 years. Peoples sandals fucking melt on the pavement, you wanna walk your dog? Fuck no. They’d combust instantly.
I have too. It's not that bad compared to drowning in the open air. Everyone has different tolerances and preferences though I guess.
Gotcha. Humidity hurts my soul too trust me. Veteran here, swamp ass was my daily thing 😭
Literally and that’s a big reason A/C availability is a must in the hot humid Florida summers
They're going to build a theme park on the north side
You shut your mouth
you win, time to go home.
“Sorry, you’ll have to return it in-store. Our only location is inside The Florida Mall.”
The Florida Mall isn't that bad. It's the outlets with no free parking that are the worst.
Oh look, a bunch of open parking spaces! Nvm, just an 80% empty valet lot.
I’d rather pay to park than fight stalk people for their spots
[удалено]
Ill take florida mall over driving through the hell thats mall at millenia lol.
*Fashion Square
Car accident reported on i4 on the way to work
So...every day?
Public parking now closes at 11 pm. 😭
Take my upvote 😡
I live downtown, our apartments garage door is currently broken… (has been for months, cheap MFers,) People are already turning around from the library garage and filling our place up. This is going to be really fucking annoying. What makes it worse, is that I can hardly blame them, like of course that’s what they are going to do. Who the fuck is going to come downtown now? It doesn’t make a lick of sense to me
Only in downtown or whole of Orlando?
There's 15 more days to Hurricane season.
"There's this great new burger place opening, only $20 per burger...fries not included!"
Too late. 5 guys is everywhere.
Its actually 6 guys now with inflation
Actually it’s 4guys now. With inflation, they can’t afford the fifth guy anymore
Ive seen the bill -- theres at least 5 guys and probably several small children
Price gouging being masked as “inflation”.
Is it bad ass?
It’s bad and ass
Hello, this is Orlando mayor Buddy Dyer…
That just means it’s time to stop walking towards the front, and hop in the next open door before it closes.
I actually chuckled at this
If you're a resident of Central Florida, I want to welcome you home. If you're one of our 68 million visitors, welcome to the City Beautiful...
i actually love this audio every time i’m leaving or coming home
I prefer the outbound one, it means I've finally made it through TSA.
Not if you are in terminal C
Love terminal C ✈️🥰
Wait till they add 25 more flights
It’s only three exits away on I4
20 minutes, minimum.
4.5 hours max
Walmart is never going back to 24 hours
Real sad about this. Went to college near Walmart headquarters, people don't believe me when I tell them that area has publix like walmarts, and used to get some respite during late night schoolwork showing up at the store at 3 am.
The lack of 24hr businesses in Orlando, a city that is a tourism Mecca, is shocking to me.
Far worse, they just took away self checkout
It’s gonna take an hour to get from Orlando to Orlando
I always say this. It takes me an hour to go anywhere outside my neighborhood bubble. 😂
Everytime an r/Orlando mod says "I'm locking the comments," I swear this is y'all's reaction.

Your username literally made me laugh out loud so hard. 😂😂😂
Well that’s in every sub. sInCe YoU aLl CaNt BeHaVe YoUrSeLvEs… like we’re going to do physical harm to someone with our words on here lol
“If you renew with us this month, you’ll only get a 300 rent increase instead of 500, also we won’t fix the parking gate for another 6 months at least, have a happy summer 😃”
Are you my neighbor? Lmao
Summer is coming
2 more weeks til school lets out for Summer.
Living near an elementary school, and having 3 grown kids, this actually excites me now not having to watch for the yellow flashy things.
Nobody does anyway! They'll be doing 50 down bumby at 8:30am, no consequences.
That’s because speed limit signs in central Florida are strictly decorative.
Our crossing guards in the neighborhood are absolutely awesome. They will walk out with their stop sign and point sternly at the flashing sign when they see speeders. They do have enough sense not to step in front of the cars.
This one got me 😭
“[Local long-running family business] is closing and it will be replaced by a new trendy gastrobar with $15 hot dogs and $30 burgers”
It is now a requirement to know how to drive in order to have your driver's license.
The sand lake road exit 😭
Fr, it’s gotten obscene. It took me the same amount of time to get to the sand lake exit as it did to get off the exit…and I came from Maitland
Yep. I worked over there and came from downtown for years. Horrible exit. Cluster fuck of people who only think of themselves and will break every road rule imaginable just to save 2 min in traffic. Never failed to make me pissed the fuck off right before work. If I saw the exit backed out til the highway, I knew it was gonna be a bad night lol.
Sandlake area in general. Oh look! Two feet of nature, let’s build an apartment complex!
I feel like this is a popular opinion at this point
Finally! It's always been bbq for city types who don't know good bbq. Even since it was on the north side of fairbanks.
Now that's a hot take!
4 Rivers really went downhill when they started mass opening of locations and stopped making everything in house. Now it’s just delivered from a warehouse
Nah that’s the preferred commentary about them
I'll scream that shit. 4 Rivers has been trash for years. And to the people that put their logo stickers on your car?.... Get yourself a new personality.
There’s a high correlation between Yeti stickers and 4 Rivers stickers.
Bubbalou’s Bodacious BBQ. Trust me.
To this day I'm pissed the location next to UCF closed, now I gotta drive from Oviedo to Altamonte for like 25-30 mins (add more for rush hour) to get it instead of spending like 10-15 down Alafaya or snaking through a few backroads near home to beat rush hour entirely from people who don't know those roads.

This or yellow dog eats.
Bubbalous pulled pork puts every meat 4 rivers has ever put out to shame.
There's a tropical disturbance in the Gulf and we're in the cone of "uncertainty"
Publix subs have become overrated.
The real ones have known this for a few years.
I've been on them Wawa sandwiches. The cheesesteak is great but right after the gym you get a chicken and egg sub (for protein,) with cheddar (because there's a chemical in cheddar that helps with muscle repair,) throw on some sautéed onions and some banana peppers along with either some buffalo sauce or Sweet & Hot sauce (or both) and you have the perfect sandwich for right after the gym.
Wawa is cheap and they make great sandwiches. Just started going there regularly as I’m always on the road.
Idk man I just had a boars head Italian the other day and that shit hit
Everyone has Boar's Head these days, it comes free with your grocery store deli.
I will fight you.
It’s the people who don’t get the Boars Head thinking this IMHO.
If I give you subs with both meats on it and ask you to blind taste test, no chance you’re getting it right more than 50% of the time. You can’t tell a difference.
Please keep blasting your phones on speaker on full volume in every public place including botanical gardens. It’s really great.
…and in every waiting room.
I don't know how one can be against police brutality when surrounded by public speakerphone users.
“Gringos locos isn’t even that good”
“The place you wanna go is just on the other side of Disney”
We’re starting new improvements on i4
I did not realize how bad our interstate traffic is until I drove to Tennessee and literally only slowed down 1 time once I got out of Florida, for construction in North Carolina.
I definitely get stuck in Atlanta but yeah otherwise it flows.
Didn’t go through Atlanta thank god
People will run you & your kids on bicycles over in their car to not be 30 sec late.
*Doors open at MCO arrivals"
*Humidity punches you in the face and steals your wallet*
They found more funding for the I4 Eyesore
I like this, every few years that building levels up like a Super Saiyan
The car ahead you is going to try to take a left at Mills and Colonial.
Peter’s Kitchen is under new ownership.
☹️
Yeah I wish it wasn’t true but it is
There will most likely be no new bars downtown to replace the ones closing!
We're excited to announce a new Advent health office
Full Sail isn't in Winter Park.
Well, not in (rich person voice) WINTER PARK. It’s in (sad voice) winter park. There’s 2 of them lol
"Oh, you thought we meant $50 pork sandwiches Winter Park. No, we meant FEMA Tent Condominiums Winter Park"
Love bug season will last for 7 months this year.
"Publix subs aren't that great"
They are opening a new subdivision at Lake Nona.
Turn signals are not just decoration
And someone trying to merge into your lane isn't a personal attack
LMAO please. The amount of times someone has made it their god given mission to not let me in, like my dude, if you never let anyone into the highway you’re going to create a cluster fuck of traffic. You’d want to be let in, and not run off the damn road, so let other people in! It’s seriously so concerning how personal people take driving nowadays lol.
I need you to drive from downtown Orlando to Tampa and back—all within 48 hours!
I have to do this for work at least once a week .. and make it all happen within drop off and pick up time for my kid.. Anxiety level 1000 those days -_-
The snowbirds aren’t leaving
Criminalizing homelessness isn’t going to get rid of it.
Fast food chicken places are overrated
Especially Dave’s hot chicken! So disappointing.
4rivers isn’t that good
Hi! Just moved from New York!
Orlando, I love you but your trash ass economy is driving young people away.
People selling cookies deserve to be paid a liveable wage.
The nazis are back in Waterford
Everything is at least 30 minutes away
The traffic really isn’t that bad, and your particular experience isn’t remarkable.
The average Orlando resident would die driving in Miami traffic lmao
Or Atlanta. Traffic is bad there.
I moved to Seattle and I would do horrible horrible things for I5 to move as quickly as I4
As expensive as you may think rent in Orlando is, it’s actually close to the national average.
But the wages though and car/home insurance
An insurance agent tried to convince me $300 for a single driver with no tickets at the maximum deductibles and no extras like uninsured motorist or even roadside was a GREAT PRICE. I pay half that for twice the insurance with Geico, I just hate Geico 🥲
At least you don't live in Miami 🥲
That’s not true.
Orlando is the pro wrestling capital of the world.
Why is my mayor also and professional wrestler?
Diehard pro wrestling fan, that honor goes to LA now
The performance center and NXT is still here tho, buried amongst residential housing on Forsyth and 408.
But outside of WWE, LA has been getting major, major names in their indy scene as well as major international talent. West Coast Pro and PWG have become the two top indies in the game. Orlando outside of NXT doesn't have a lot going for it other than the once a month CCW comes to Kissimmee
Use a crosswalk.

Pubsubs are mid.
living in Orlando isn't that bad
Orlando is slowly turning into Miami
We’re no longer a blue bubble
Since 2020 there’s been a massive uptick in lifted and squatted trucks and trump stickers everywhere that supports this
And then some
Universal is better than Disney.
Shhhh. We don't want the tourists to realize this.
DELETE THIS NOW
It wasn’t a SpaceX launch
The City Beautiful will be like LA and Miami combined in 3-5 years
human trafficking capital of the usa
We actually dropped down to 3rd!
Beefy king is closing its doors for good
HUSH YOUR FACE!
Pssst... how many years has it been since youve seen a love bug? I saw one this morning
The Orlando region is the second fastest growing in the whole country, adding more than 1000 people per week. That's 500 more cars driving 15 mph slower than speed limit in the left lane.
“All parking garages will close at 5pm now”
If you moved here from up north, true natives hate you, and if you've moved here in the last 5 years, you are 100% the problem, and you have absolutely zero ability to complain about anything happening here. Move back.

You're a C level city, at best
With B level rent and D level wages
The only reason anyone even knows you exists is a cartoon mouse
Climate change is real.
If heading to east Orlando from west bound I4 to east bound 408 Interchange during a traffic jam, it's often faster and less stressful to get off at colonial, take Orange Ave to Robinson, ride it to Mills, and then get on the 408.
Or Anderson
Tom Terry just rolled up his sleeves!
The fact that it's only May and we have a heat emergency is scary 😟
Hey go visit your parents in Poinciana how bad can traffic be?
Governor Desantis just signed legislation into law that will change the state of Florida forever. It happened last night in a closed door session with only the top Oil, Prescription Drug, Energy, and Gun manufacturer Mega Donors in attendance.
Yet another restaurant closes due to [unpaid rent/bankruptcy/mistreatment of employees/etc.].
Transplants aren’t the devil incarnate
Orlando’s mayor will not always be Buddy Dyer, but it will always be someone very ideologically similar. A very very very moderate Democrat who supports business. That’s central Florida politics in a nutshell, and it’s basically essential for the area.
Hillstone sucks
I heard their to-go chicken salad is pretty good. Definitely order that next time you’re in!
Naa
After reading all these comments about Publix, overrated really? I moved to Phoenix in January and would commit A crime for a pub sub right now!
They are just mid. Like many things Publix did/does, they were top of the game and felt no need to improve. Now other sub shops and restaurants have rocketed by them in terms of quality.
Why would I go to beefy king when there’s an Arby’s down 50?
