    I guess this applies to all of Canada, but the assumption that it's freezing cold-all the time. Where I live we got 40 degree weather at times and very mild winters.

    Oh dear!

    I'm from Miami.
    "Oh, you must love living on the beach! I heard it's awesome!!"
    Miami is actually a city. And Miami Beach is another. Miami has it's ghettos just like any other city.

    "Omg that's where the zombies are"
    Ok, that was like one time. And the dude was just high. No, not on bath salts. On weed. Weed here, is just that good.

    "All your teams suck"
    While I agree with most of this, we did just win a championship in basketball. Not a fan of the Miami Heat but at least not ALL the teams suck.

    "You're from MIAMI?! You must be hispanic! Tell me something in Spanish"
    Facepalm.

    And my fave:

    "Omg so, you must be related to some crazy coke dealer or something right?! Can you get us the hookup on some good blow? Or entrances to Mansion? Or club seats to the Phins?"
    No. I am not related to Tony Montana and not everyone in Miami is or was a drug dealer at some point in their life. We actually have jobs, like everyone else. And yes, I can get you into Mansion and tickets to the football games. It's called the box office and slipping the bouncer at the door a hundred dollar bill if you're ugly *kitten* can't get in on your own.

    Miami people are famously bad, bandwagon fans.
    If you ask them why they don't attend games "There's too much other stuff to do" This always cracked me up. Saturdays in the fall, are for football.

    "You're from Ohio? You must be handsome, well educated, and modest!"

    Why yes, I am.

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

    to be fair the vast majority of important stuff happens on the coasts. :)

    Hardly
    I guess one would have to define important. HA. The Super bowl was in Indy this past Season. That is important. Not on the coast. :D

    North Ca-ka-la-ki (Carolina) and no... I don't know wth that means.

    UGH I hate North Cakalaki! As if we don't already sound like southern rejects. I live in Greensboro, NC, and I absolutely ahte it when people say Greensburl. Just say BORO people! The same applies when calling it "The Boro." Uck.

    Huh? Says who?

    our government, financial centers and entertainment occur on the coasts. as well as the majority of the population.

    "You're from New York? Why'd a big city girl like you move to Indiana?"

    (I grew up north of Albany, in the mountains. I've only been to NYC once)

    LOL I went to New York (state) for college, and I can see how you get frustrated by that one. Whenever I tell anyone I went to college in NY, I have to explain that NYC was another 9 hour drive away and I was much closer to home (Michigan) than the city.

    Iowa...Oh thats where they grow potatoes. Or Iowa do you eat anything other than corn?

    Or "Do you live on a farm?" No I was born in the city. "They have cities in the middle of corn fields?" Yes believe it or not we are not all Children of the Corn.

    Ha. Never had anyone ask about potatos, just corn. And I did grow up on a farm :)
