Why Poteet, Texas might be annoying:

    It has extremely harsh humid summers.
    It painted its town water tower like a giant strawberry.
    It struggled with inadequate infrastructure in the community, as it wasn't prepared for rapid growth during the 1950's.
    Its population gradually declined in the 1990's, after the demand for oil in the region was scarce.
    It originally was supposed to be the site of a coal and sand mine, which ceased operations before it began after water seeped into the shaft, making the process prohibitively expensive.

Why Poteet, Texas might not be annoying:

    It is the birthplace of the King of Country Music, George Strait.
    It hosts an annual Strawberry Festival in April.
    It was a hub for agricultural activity in the early 20th century, following the discovery of artesian wells in the area.
    It is within close proximity to San Antonio.
    It was the namesake for the 'Steve Canyon' comic strip character Poteet Canyon.
