Annoying statements made about area of residence

"Hey.
I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader, and I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber, or own a dog sled, and I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada, although I'm certain they're really, really nice.
I have a Prime Minister, not a President. I speak English and French, not American, and I pronounce it 'about', not 'a boot'.
I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack. I believe in peacekeeping, not policing; diversity, not assimilation; and that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal.
A tuque is a hat, a chesterfield is a couch, and it is pronounced zed: not zee –zed!!
Canada is the second largest land mass! The first nation of hockey! And the best part of North America!
My name is Joe!! And I am Canadian!
... Thank you."0 -
Oh yeah......"You're from Kentucky?.....Do you live on a farm?" "In a trailer?" NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! to both!!
or..."Ah...Kentucky Fried Chicken!!!!"......
LOL
I live in Kentucky now, then look at me funny. I then realize they are looking to see if I am missing any teeth.
To be fair, Kentucky is a memorable state. Every stop on our drive-through for vacation proved every stereotype about Kentucky I could imagine. Of course I already knew that because I'm just in Indiana. And southern Indiana will give you a good preview of Kentucky.0 -
So, your from Wisconsin, so you guys drink beer and eat cheese and brats all day long right? NO M'Fer!!0
-
Yes, I'm British. No, I don't know the Queen personally.
A thousand times yes! Also yes it really does rain all the bloody time!0 -
oh you're british? do you know prince william?
oh you're half irish? do you want a lager? -_-0 -
I'm from Houston, Texas and they think ALL of us wear cowboy hats and ride horses everywhere! HILARIOUS!!0

Americans to me "Oh New Zealand is that in Europe?" or "Hmm is that part of Australia?" "Oh like Lord of the Rings"
Grr
I'd so be the one to mention Lord of the Rings :blushing:0 -

You don't? Damnit....

"What's considered a 'nice house' in Alabama? A double wide?"
Ooooh, that pissed me off >:O0 -
Chicago...
No, my family are not gangsters.
No, I've never met Michael Jordan.
Yes, it does get windy here from time to time.
I have no idea when the Cubs will win the World Series.0 -

I just got back from NZ and my friends kept asking me how Australia was XDD0 -
Everyone from MA is a Masshole.... Ok.. so, maybe this one has a bit of truth.. I am a Masshole relocated to NH lol
Ct only calls you Massholes cause the way you drive. We love you though
BTW people from Connecticut are not snobs and not all rich (trust me on that one)
Bahaha! I was born in Connecticut and I have to clear up the assumption that I am a snob.
And now that I live in Dallas I have to clear up the assumption that I own a ranch.
*sigh*0 -
"What's considered a 'nice house' in Alabama? A double wide?"
Ooooh, that pissed me off >:O
=X that actually made me laugh really hard (btw I live in Alabama too).0 -
I live in the Chicago area and went to visit our State Capitol Springfield. While I was there I visited a Bob Evans and was telling a guy that we didn't have any near the Chicago area and he told me "well, unfortunately, they are not in every State." This was not the only conversation I had during my visit where people referred to Chicago as a separate State. Apparently, we have been kicked out of Illinois and no one told us.
Btw, It's Illinois not IllinoisE0 -
I'm from Massachusetts, so that makes me a masshole!0
-
I love this - being British I guess I made the assumption (sorry) that Americans didn't have the same silly/annoying preconceptions that we have about areas! I come from Liverpool...I get a lot of stick!0

"Oh Memphis... so you like Elvis?" - While I do enjoy some of his music... I've been here 25 years and have never been to graceland. I don't have Elvis posters on my walls, and I don't cry on his death anniversary or birthday. LOL
"Oh Memphis... you must LOVE bbq" ... I don't eat pork...0 -
I'm from Vallejo California..I did live on Magazine Street, but no I do not know E400

Nashville, TN
"So, you're from Cashville?" says the broke white boy who wishes he were black =P0 -
Try being from Phoenix. Everybody says, "Oh, but the summers aren't too bad, right? It's a dry heat." Yes, a dry heat that makes you feel like you're being cooked in a freaking oven, thank you very much. :explode:
Stop comparing your stupid 90-degree/high-humidity summers to our 115 temperatures, okay? There is no comparison. Period. :grumble:0 -
Oh, you live in the desert? It's 115 degrees? But it's a dry heat...
Yeah, just like turning my blow dryer on full blast in my face is a dry heat...
^ This...
Put your head in your oven for about 3 minutes and tell me you give a crap if it's a dry heat of wet heat.
115 sucks0 -
"So, you're from Missour-a?" No, I'm from Missouri"
There's an "i" on the end not an "a" or an "uh". Thanks George W. for getting it wrong every time.
UGH!!! YES!!! THIS...
And my personal favorite:
Them: "So, where are you from?"
Me: "Kansas City"
Them: "Oh! Kansas?? Where's Dorothy, Toto??"
OR
"So you live on a farm?"
Let's be clear... There are TWO Kansas City's. One is MISSOURI, where I'm from and of course, one in Kansas. Also, I've never been on a farm, I do not own cattle and have never seen a tornado0 -
Well being from Romania, you know the Transylvania thing :laugh: makes it awkward to talk to anyone interested in vampires :laugh:
No we are not all followers of Dracula :noway: and we don't have vampires here. He was just a tough dude that wanted to be feared and he got it !0 -
I live in West Virginia. No I am not married to my *insert relative here*.
No, we don't mate with livestock.
Yes, I'm from the US. Yes, I can pick out your country on a map.0 -
I'm from Cincinnati, Ohio which is now referred to as 'the Nasty Nati' Ugh I hate that. When I was growing up Cincinnati used to be really nice, I don't know what happened.
Now I live near Cleveland, Ohio. Everyone thinks the city of Cleveland is a really rough place where you will get stabbed or shot for looking at someone wrong. Not true, there are many nice places in Cleveland and most people are law-abiding friendly citizens. To survive in Cleveland, just go by the motto 'Don't start none, won't be none' LOL.0 -
What?! New Mexico? We don't ship outside the United States, m'am...0

i moved from arizona to ohio. i'll take arizona weather ANY DAY. i handled 115 just fine. 'course, i lived in tucson and i could go to the mountains if i got too hot. 95 degrees/95% humidity is the most awful, miserable thing i've ever experienced.
grew up in Vancouver, Washington. the mall sold t-shirts that said "Vancouver (not BC), Washington (not DC)."0 -
You live in Nashville = you must loooooove country music.
Nope. Nashville offers LOTS and lots of other music genres. It's not all cowboy hats and rhinestones.0 -

No, we don't mate with livestock.
Yes, I'm from the US. Yes, I can pick out your country on a map.
Oooh, I totally forgot about all the US ones! No, I don't eat fast food at every meal. Yes, I say "y'all". No, I'm not a pompous biznatch who thinks she's better than everybody else, though I know a bunch of people who are0 -
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!
Yes, but you have to admit that the UK is an extremely unique situation that not everyone will understand. I just found out a couple of weeks ago that the UK is really several countries within a country. Hell, until I read that very informative article, I thought Ireland (rather than Northern Ireland) was a part of the UK! :bigsmile:
Trust me, it's confusing what you've got going up there. :flowerforyou:0
