A Mexican owned food van selling food on the side of the street. These things are a nuisances at the least and health hazards at best. Oh, not from just the food they serve, but from the people driving them!

What gets me is why the people driving these “Roach Coaches” believe they have the right to park in the middle of the street and block traffic while they sell food. As you can see from the photo, it would have been easy for the Senorita to pull to the curb, but No, she practically stopped in the middle of the street to sell her food. I see this all the time. I know many residents of these subdivisions are fed up with this also.

Not only do these trucks block residential streets, they drive around and play some of the stupidest music you’ve ever heard. They’re like Ice Cream trucks from hell. The two jingles I hate the worse are the “Tarzan Yell” and the jingle that ends with a animated woman’s voice saying “Hello!”. The ones who don’t play music, drive around laying on the horn every 20 feet!

But, this is just the Mexican culture I’m suppose to accept…right? Perhaps in Mexico it’s okay to block traffic and become a public nuisance with your vehicle? But that’s just my point. They don’t care if they’re a nuisance to the residents in these subdivisions, so long as they sell their food. Hey, it must be their culture…right? After-all, that’s what we’re always told isn’t it?

What gets me is that many of these drivers speak little to no English. How did they get drivers license to begin with? That is, if they have drivers license. Perhaps I’m naive, are our driver license test now in Spanish? To say they “drive” these vans is an understatement. I’d call it more like a “herding cats” type of maneuver if you’ve seen them in neighborhoods or running down the highway swaying from one lane over to the other like a drunken pachyderm.

I guess that’s another piece of Mexican culture I must “embrace”. Yeah, right. What about my culture and those of the neighborhoods where these trucks roam, that says you don’t block streets and you don’t drive around honking your horn or playing some gawdawful jingls disturbing the residents? What about that culture?

    i enjoy reading your stories . and you seem to feel the irritations about the poor direction this nation is headed to.mobilizing enough people to change what is going on is impossible.if the people ignore ron paul and only want cheaper prices at wallyworld then this is the nation we are forced to endure. things seem to have to get really bad before most americans will get off their lazy asses. but the really bad part looks to be arriving soon.poor dollar,stupid war,3 poor choices for prez.,homesdropping. yep things will be interesting in the near future.
