There is a scientific explanation for your jean mishap.
You see, American people live off of junk food, or most of us do. McDonald's has been proven to start the growth hormones develop at a younger age. So kids start growing at a younger age. HOWEVER, since they start earlier, they stop earlier. That is why the average American man is 5'6" & the average German (I know your Dutch but this is being pulled out from statistics) is 6'1".
Also Mexicans live here and we tend to be shorter. lol.
Eric it's very hard to find a pair of jeans for us dutch people, because we are to tall. I tried it a couple of weeks ago to in Philladelphia, but couldn't find length-size 36.
LA has some of the worst driving/drivers in America. Some cities are just worse than others. Boston, NYC, Atlanta, & Miami are considered bad driver cities, & believe are ranked even worse than LA :-/
Gee, you had trouble finding skinny jeans in America. I bet your friends in Europe could've warned you about that. See if they have extra larges and I bet you'll find something ;-)
Follow Pragmatic's advice about going to some of the lower end stores. They might surprise you what they offer
In general, it seems difficult for tall and thin people to find clothes that fit (at a reasonable price). I have friends who constantly have that problem. I'm in Canada, but it seems like the US is similar.
I understand both of your frustrations. I learned to drive in LA traffic, and I can tell you that nobody there cares about moving to the right. Everyone is an asshole, and if you want to drive in LA, you have to learn to be one too (I know, it sux).People in other places in the US are nicer :) I also wear size 32-34 jean (close), so I've had trouble too. BUT, I've found AMAZING low-priced straight/"skinny" LEVIS in JC Penny's and similar places. Try there, GUESS, or Old Navy.

Also try Kohls, JC Penney's, and Sears for jeans - and change the battery in that smoke detector before the chirping drives you around the bend!

In NYC we pass on the left because buses stop on the right and we can't impede them.

I usually have good luck at JC Penney or Kohls. Arizona's or Levis seem to fit best.

OK - You need to shop for a new 9V and help to banish that bleeping beeping.

Which, In Virginia we are taught that left lane is for passing/going fast but it isn't enforced, and some just dont' care what lane they are in,

I feel your pain on traffic there are people that do it right, but just a few can screw it up big.

Unfortunately, you are shopping for jeans just after all the USA students shopped for back-to-school clothes .... Inventories are down :-(
