52 reasons and some Lauren commentary. Oh the fun we will have.
You know you're from Massachusetts if:
1. You've pulled out of a side street and used your
car to block oncoming traffic so you can make a left
2. Stop signs mean slow down a little, but only of
you want to. [Psh. Haha.]
3. You know how to cross four lanes of traffic in
five seconds
4. You believe using your turn signals gives away
your plan to the enemy
5. You think it's not actually tailgating unless
you're touching the bumper of the car in front of
you
6. You know that a yellow light means that at least
five more people can get through and a red one means
two more can
7. The transportation system is known as the "T"
8. You could own a small town in Iowa for the cost
of your house
9. You almost feel disappointed when someone doesn't
flip you off when you cut them off or steal their
parking space. [Okay, seriously, does anyone else get this feeling?]
10. There are 24 Dunkin Donuts shops within 15
minutes of your house.
11. When people talk about "The Curse Of The
Bambino" you just say "remember that time the Red Sox made history by coming back from 3 games down against the Yankees and went on to win the world series???" [Yay-ya. =P]
12. You're amazed when traveling out of town that
people at McDonalds actually speak english. [Seriously, where is this happening? Because I'd love to actually understand someone.]
13. If you stay on the same road long enough it
eventually has three different names [My road does that, from the center of town to the end of the actual road has four names]
14. Someone has honked at you because you didnt peel
out the second the light turned green
15. You have honked at someone because they didn't
peel out the second the light turned green
16. All the potholes just add to the excitement of
driving. [Haha]
17. You think if someones nice to you they either
want something or they are from out of town and lost
18. Six inches of snow is considered a dusting
19. Three days of 90 degree heat is definitely a
"heat wave" 63 degrees is "on the warm side" [63 degrees is the besttttt]
20. You cringe every time you hear some actor/actress imitate the
"Boston Accent" on TV or in a movie, if you don't have it then
you're never going to get it even if you were born here. [That may be the most annoying thing ever.]
21. At the ice cream shop you call chocolate
sprinkles "jimmies"
22. You can go from one side of town to the other in
less than fifteen minutes and see at least fifteen
losers you went to high school with doing the same
thing they were doing when you saw them last [this is the most true statement I've ever heard]
23. It is raining and/or snowing, the person in front of you is going 70, and you're still cursing them for going too slow
24. You know how to pronounce towns like Worcester, Haverhill, and Cotuit [Wuss-ter, Hey-vril, Kosh-it?]
25. You know what they sell at a "packie" [Maybe. o.0]
26. Wasn't appropriate for viewing. =P
27. You've slammed on your brakes to deter a
tailgator
28. You still try to order curly fries from Burger
King
29. You keep an ice scraper in your car all year
round
30. You know at least three Tony's one Vinnie, and a
Frank [I'm thinking this is a Boston thing...]
31. Paranoia sets in when you can't see an ATM or
CVS [Or a Walgreen's. Or a Walgreen's acorss from a CVS =O]
32. You think crosswalks are for wimps
33. You've bragged about saving money at The
Christmas Tree Shop. [That is the store of satan.]

35. You can navigate a rotary without a problem
36. You have been to Fenway Park
37. You refer to the New York Yankees as the Evil Empire
38. You feel the rest of the world needs to drive
more like you
39. When someone calls you a "masshole" you take it
as a compliment
40. You use the words "wicked" and "good" in the
same sentence
41. You know what a frappe is.
42. Saint Patrticks Day is your second favorite
holiday
43. Long beer comment. XD
44. You never say "Cape Cod" you say "the cape"
45. You went to Old Sturbridge Village and Plymouth Plantation in
elementary school. [These places are the besttt]
46. You can drive to the mountains and the ocean all
in one day. [Been there. Done that.]
47. You have a special place in your heart for the Worcester
Firefighters. [Gotta love those guys. XD]
48. You know the Mass Pike and 128 are some strange weather
dividing lines. [This is the strangest thing ever and someone should definitely do a scientific study on it.]
49. You do not recognize the letter "R" as a part of the English language.
50. You've gone from I-95 South to I-93 North by driving in a straight line and never changing direction. [Haha.]
51. You understand everything just said and passed it on to other massholes.
52. You know you're from Mass when you give directions that cite land marks that USED to be there...
You bang a left at the lights, and then you drive just past where the old farm was... the one that used to have the giant catepillar in front... and then you take a wicked sharp right to where the movie theater used to be...
53. You know you're from Massachusetts when you honestly believe that crosswalks and Walk/Don't Walk signals are just polite suggestions.
Now. I'm reading these things and pretty much 99% of them make total sense. And I'm also reading these things (mostly the driving ones) and saying to myself, "They don't do that other places? I thought that's just how people drive." Apparently, I've never driven out of state enough. XD
So you may not find this amusing if you're not from Massachusetts. Which none of you are, but I'm really wondering which ones of these make sense to people in other places...
