    As soon as someone finds out I'm from Alabama I get bombarded with Forrest Gump jokes & one-liners. Very, very original, folks ;)

    Also... I now live in a city called Tuscaloosa. It's often referred to as T-Town. That's just not very interesting and bordering on annoying whenever I hear or read it.

    ETA: Regarding the Gump jokes... I guess it's irresistible since I'm Jennie & from AL. Just gets so f'ing old.

    And of course when people learn you're from Alabama they automatically assume you're an Alabama fan.....

    Take a look at my username people... War Eagle Baby! (that's Auburn University for those that don't know)

    War Eagle! Did you see the comment I made about the server in Sacramento telling us "Roll Tide".. yeah.. not so much!

    If I go out of town and tell people I'm from the DC area, they glare at me like I'm responsible for the state of our government or who happens to be president at that moment.

    OR

    they make fun of the Redskins and Dan Snyder

    Always a classic:

    "I'm from West Virginia."
    "Near Richmond?"

    NO. A THOUSAND TIMES NO.

    When I tell people I am from West Virginia. I hear "Oh Virginia..." I am guessing they do not teach the states outside of the state of West Virginia.

    Mom&Dad: I don't know what?
    SC Waiterss: A d*mn Yankee stays.

    I hate how people on the coasts automatically assume the rest of the country is "the middle of nowhere".

    I always say, "It's Colorado, if you don't like the weather, *kitten* you."

    I completely agree with you!!!

    The one I hate is "You live in Colorado? Does it snow all the time?"

    Me: "No, you moron. We have at least 320 days of FULL sunshine each year!"
    We must include that we do not all ride horses; ski or own a gun.
    No we do not roll the sidewalks up at dusk, we actually do have some arts {no I can not appreaciate it all Psycho horse}.
    No we do not have cattle always roaming downtown.
    No I do not have a Medical Marijuana card.

    I've never been asked anything about Southern California from out of towners that isn't true. Yes, it's always sunny. Yes, I see famous people. Yes, there is a palm tree in my front yard. Yes, there are alot of blonds and bikinis. Yes, I surf. And, yes, there's a lot of traffic.

    you're from England? Do you know the Queen/Kate/William/Harry/*insert royal family person*

    You're from England? Do you live in London? Errr no. There is a whole country outside of London. One that doesn't smell and make your snot black.

    You're from Wales? Is that in England? Um, no, it's a different country, but they're both in the UK.

    England and the UK are not, I repeat, not, the same thing!
