Ha! I grew up in a town called "Hicksville", NY
-no we are not a bunch of "Hicks"
-no we don't live in the "sticks" (about an hour from NYC)
-and no I don't know Billy Joel personally!0 -
our government, financial centers and entertainment occur on the coasts. as well as the majority of the population.
and lets not forget beaches!
Not sure I would actually state our government is on the coast. Also I see a ton of entertainment through out the country(Sports)0 -
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

You're from Chicago? Al Capone's from here.
Yeah, no *kitten*.0 -
LMAO!!!!0 -
You're from WHERE? MAINE? Isn't that in CANADA?
seriously? Have you EVER looked at a map in your life?!0 -
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 just might be the perfect woman!0 -
From Utah:
Are you Mormon?
Does your husband have any other wives?
Do you ski?0 -
Oh yeah! I had one person ask me "aren't there only black people in Birmingham, Alabama but no where else?"
I mean seriously?? Do people think Alabamians are so racist we exhile all the non-white people to Birmingham??? Come on now...
Bizarre!
Seriously, I have never had anyone ask me either of those things. The only things that come to mind about states I've lived in is the "dry heat" comments and having to specify UPSTATE New York.
Although people ask me all the time if there were lions (or various other wild animals) in my village when I lived in Africa. I don't find those questions annoying though.0 -
Do you see people get shot all the time? (I'm from Detroit)0

California: "Like do you know how to surf? Have you ever surfed to school"
I walked away without saying anything to the person who asked me this.0 -

I get that quite a bit too...Oh what it liek to live on a farm. then I tell them...cause I did live on a farm0 -

Omg YES! Miami is full of bandwagon fans! I'm not even a phins fan but I was friends with the niece of one of the owners and she use to get us tickets to the games or to go up to her box and we'd be like hell yeah, since we like football. I'd have to sit there and explain what was going on, and once I'd lose her and her other friends, they'd go back to texting, taking pics or asking about going into Liv after the game to catch celebrities. Smh!
Saturdays during the fall - I'm at the stadium. Tailgating with all my fellow UM fans, sitting in the student section and singing along to Phil Collins - In the Air Tonight :laugh: (Anybody who's been to a Hurricanes game knows the reference!
) 0 -
OMG! You're from Amityville? The town with the house that the movie was based on?
Yes, Amityville is a real town.
Yes, I have seen the famous house.
Yes, people live there.
No, it is not possessed!
actually that is pretty sweet0 -
Americans to me "Oh New Zealand is that in Europe?" or "Hmm is that part of Australia?" "Oh like Lord of the Rings"
Grr0 -
so it's just flurries?
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Try being from NJ... no I don't know Snooki0 -
Well where I am originally from has had a few names thrown at it over the years... like F*ckfax instead of Fairfax (VA). Or just generally speaking, it's referred to as NoVA (northern VA). Don't really care about the names because, honestly, I'm not a fan of Fairfax even though I'm from there, lol. There are better parts of VA that I'd rather be from!0
-
When I moved from Texas to Italy and then would tell Italians I lived in Texas, they all assumed I knew George Bush. Or, "Oh, you're from Texas? Do you have a horse? And lots of guns?".0
-
I live in a town called Carol Stream. Everyone always asks me where Carol Stream (the body of water) is...it's named after a person, not a river!0

British
It's not the questions, its their need to tell you about their or their friends vacation there 10 years ago.
Goes something like "Thats a cool accent British or Australian? Oh British, I went to Englandland once, we saw THE palace and THE cathedral and we saw all of Scotland. We met this guy called XXXXX he lived in XXXXX do you know him?"0 -
"You don't look or sound Mexican"...really, should I be wearing a Sombrero and be 4 feet tall? To the rest of the world who doesn't know already...the majority of Mexicans are a Native American European mix. We range from being blonde hair blue eyes to very dark Native looking. I'm so tired of hearing this from people.0

I'm from South Carolina, and live in North Carolina.
No, we're not all related. No, it's not the same as Virginia. No, we don't shoot guns as we drive down the street. Yes, it's an actual city. No, we don't keep our money in the still. No, I don't think your racism is funny or cool. No, I don't have the rebel flag or a gun rack on my car. No, I don't have a hunting license. Yes, I've eaten sushi.
... What do you mean you don't have Cheerwine in your town? Heck, NO, 'm not movin'!

Ditto. And...."you must go to the beach ALL the time!" Yeah.............Jax is the largest city in land mass in the continental US. I live an hour and a half from the beach. I'm not there every day after work. *facepalm*
