Living in New Orleans is not always easy. Sometimes, it’s downright overwhelming. Here are some of the struggles that everyone who lives in New Orleans can relate to.
- Not being able to get the fog out of your windshield.

- Getting a parking ticket one minute after the time runs out

- Running into someone you didn’t want to see
Flickr.com / Jimmy Smith New Orleans is such a small town—first of all, everyone knows everything about everyone, and second, you can’t go anywhere without seeing them. It can be really hard to both leave the house and avoid people who are on your nerves!
- Not knowing when to show up places

- Getting stuck behind a parade

- Trying to get something fixed on your SWBNO bill
Flickr.com / Tory Get ready for hours of your life to be wasted.
- Driving around random side streets trying to leave Uptown
Flickr.com / Infrogmation Ever since they started construction on Jefferson, Napoleon, and Louisiana at the same time, it’s been a huge run around every time you try and beat the traffic—and bumper to bumper every other way.
- Not being able to get the temperature just right
Flickr.com / Brock Tice When it’s hot—it’s so hot…but then when it is cold, it’s so cold. So hard to find a happy middle here.
- Breaking your car on a curb or pothole
