You know whats Not on Roids, folks? A definitive list of everyone’s favorite state stereotypes! I mean, seriously, we all have them, dont we? And because Im a glutton for mild social awkwardness and possess the impressive (and arguably useless) achievement of having visited every single one of the 50 U.S. states – yes, every one – I feel uniquely qualified to discuss this hot-button topic: what annoys people about folks from different states.
Let’s be clear, Im not trying to start a war here. This isn’t meant to offend! Its simply an observation. A chronicle of the subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) quirks that drive us bonkers about our neighbors and beyond.
The internet loves these things, and honestly? So do I. You think people don’t secretly judge accents? They absolutely do! We all do! And while I wont detail specific annoyances (because frankly, some are too petty to print), I will say that the generalizations can feel… exhausting.
Its the assumption, you see. The instant categorization based on geography. Like everyone from [insert state] is somehow a carbon copy of a tired trope. Before you get in a tizzy – because believe me, people do get upset about this stuff – I assure you, I’m not trying to ruffle any feathers. Just acknowledging the truth: Were all a little bit annoyed by something someone from another state does. And that’s perfectly normal. Now go forth and be mildly judgmental!
