1. Traffic
The opening scene of Office Space – when the main character is stuck in a traffic jam and an old man with a stroller beats him to the end of the street – was filmed in Dallas. It’s not as though traffic and bad drivers are complaints unique to Texas. But when there’s a traffic jam on I-10 and you’re stuck in 100+ degree heat and having to choose between turning off your AC to save your engine; or leaving it on and saving yourself, then you know you’re in Texas traffic.
