25. Your landlady is a Zen Buddhist vegetarian single mother whose "day job" is bringing a truckload of Legos to kid's birthday parties and teaching the kids "spatial perception skills" with them.

This is way more like "You know you're in LA/SF when..." since there are actually parts of California that more closely resemble Oklahoma.

My additions:
- All your waiters are wanna be actors
- Even the clerk at 7-11 wrote a screenplay.

thank you!

Including the majority of SF and LA, really!

I get really tired of Midwesterners who cop this "California is full of flakes" attitude, when really, most of California is very Midwestern - especially since so many people have ancestors who are dust bowl refugees.
