Why Lloydminster, Alberta-Saskatchewan might be annoying:

    It's located right on the Alberta/Saskatchewan border making things confusing for residents to follow provincial policies.
    If you are a resident of the city, you are charged with making long distance phone calls to the other side of town.
    Although strip clubs are legal in Alberta, the city forbids them to open as a result of Saskatchewan legislation.
    Its border city status has been the brunt of jokes by tourists.
    It has four giant orange markers erected on the city's main street to remind residents that it's located on the 4th meridian.

Why Lloydminster, Alberta-Saskatchewan might not be annoying:

    The city was two separate towns prior to amalgamation in the 1930s.
    Residents on the Saskatchewan side don't follow the non-daylight savings time as the majority of the province, instead following Alberta's time system which changes clocks in the winter.
    It's considered a major hub for oil and petroleum resources on both sides of the border.
    The Alberta side of the city experienced the highest amount of growth during the 1990s as a result of the province's economic boom.
    Its bi-provincial status has it being the 10th and 11th largest cities in Alberta and Saskatchewan respectively.
