You know what’s Not on Roids, but apparently is on everyones list of places they actively avoid? State rankings! Because who doesn’t love a good internet poll telling them how to feel about geography? A friend recently sent me a screenshot – because apparently sharing misery loves spreadsheets now – and it turns out someone decided to rank all 50 states by how much Americans dislike them. Seriously, who has the time?

And guess what? Its not exactly sunshine and rainbows for some places. Mississippi topped the list (no surprise there, right?), followed closely by West Virginia and Louisiana. Look, I’m sure these states have lovely qualities – maybe a particularly good pecan pie or something – but apparently, theyre also harboring some serious American resentment.

The article didnt specify why we dislike these places so much (probably involving humidity, politics, or a lack of decent brunch options), but the sheer existence of this list proves one thing: people love to complain about things. Like finding out where you need to be for that third school pickup, it’s just…a lot.

Honestly, the whole exercise feels incredibly pointless. But hey, at least now I have something else to stress about while navigating rush hour traffic and trying to remember if I bought milk. Just another delightful slice of modern existence!
