No matter what you may think, if you're from the north and now live down south, you stick out like a sore thumb. Whether it's your looks, your words or your mannerisms, a southerner can pick you out within a matter of seconds. Here are some of the most evident signs you're a northerner living down in the good 'ol south.
1. You jaywalk at every given chance (you like living life on the edge).
2. When someone calls you "ma'am," you get offended, because up North, "ma'am" is how you refer to an old lady.
3. You know the location of every single Dunkin Donuts within a 20-mile radius.
4. Tennis shoes? You mean sneakers. Last I checked, you have never once been to a tennis court with a racket in hand.
5. You just can't seem to understand why literally everything has to be monogrammed. From notebooks to even your socks, it's just way too much.
6.You're ruder than most, and you love that about yourself (it's that northern sass).
7. You walk with a fast-paced purpose, and absolutely hate slow moving pedestrians.
8. You'd take Sunday morning bagels over Sunday brunch at any given chance.
9.You are constantly scrutinized for how you "improperly" pronounce things.
10. Why is everyone so friendly?!
11. Like seriously everyone, my mom taught me to never say hello to strangers, and I am sticking to that.
12. You're an aggressive driver and very proud of it.
13. You have summer houses, not beach houses.
14. Heels and wedges > cowboy boots.
15. So, what is a debutante ball?
16. You've realized the south has pretty much two types of weather: hot and extremely hot.
17. Chacos? I just don't understand. And even better yet, Chacos with socks. The worst sin of them all.
18. It's "You Guys" not "Y'all."
19. Where are the diners?!
20. You have that special biased towards your northern teams such as the Yankees, Giants, Patriots, Red Sox or the Rangers.
21. They're called shopping carts, not buggies.
22. You never knew how popular football really was -- you were born and raised to love lacrosse.
23. Your boyfriend drives a car or SUV, not a pickup truck.
24. You always fall for that "Bless your heart" trap -- this is the one time they're actually not being nice to you. Who woulda thought?
25. One Word: Pizza. All day. Every day.
26. You get called sweetie, honey, dear, or sugar, and this time, they actually mean it.
27. You've traded your UGGs for a pair Birkenstock's.
28. Chicken and waffles will always seem like a foreign concept to you.
29. Bugs -- there are so many damn bugs here.
30. You always hope you will see some snow, but then you remember, snow doesn't exist down south.
