1. There Is No Traffic in Kansas
I’m sorry, driving 40 mph on the freeway is not “heavy traffic”. Traffic is when you spend more time stopped than you do moving. I’ve been finding amusement watching the morning traffic reports where they talk about “backups” and all I see is open road.
2. Carne Asada Fries Don't Exist
This should just be considered a felony. I called upwards of 30 different Mexican restaurants (I wish I could say I’m exaggerating) and not one had them. Hell most of them didn’t know what I was talking about. What am I supposed to do when I want delicious food that will destroy my body at 1 am?!
3. Students Eat Lunch and Walk to All of Their Classes Indoors.
I mean it makes sense. I wouldn't want to walk outside when it's below 50 degrees either.
4. Humidity is the Devil
Seriously, I don’t understand how anybody can handle weather above 60% humidity. I’ll be sweating all day, bitching about the weather only to find its 81 degrees with 70% humidity! It’s not natural!
5. People Really Love College Basketball in Kansas
I can’t count the amount of times I’ve heard people say they don’t watch the NBA, but love college basketball. I ask someone to name me 1 player from each team and they can’t do it, but they will know every KU player that’s ever played for the last 30 years!
6. No In & Out
This should be number 1. In & Out is God speaking to us through food. Sadly I’m left having fries that are not “animal style”
7. BUGS EVERYWHERE!!!
I swear the sound of cicadas was absolutely deafening my first week here. How does anybody sleep with their constant screeching? Whether is gnats, moths, ticks, or beetles, nowhere is safe. Not even the beautiful patches of grass. That’s right, if you lay in the grass you end up getting bit by chiggers (they really should come up with a new name)
8. Nobody Waters Their Lawn
No, there isn’t a drought in Kansas, they just get so much rain you don’t have to water your lawn. That’s right, no sprinklers walking to school. So much for my “The sprinkler soaked my homework” excuse.
