Americans Share Brutally Honest Descriptions Of The States They Live In, And The Result Is Hilarious
The 50 states of the U.S.A can often get Europeans confused. Is there really that much difference between Mississippi and Alabama? Washington and Oregon? To outsiders not so much, but of course locals will definitely let you know! To get more clarification on how to distinguish between them, one Redditor asked Americans what are the things everyone should know about each state. It's hard to say if this person got what they were asking for, but the result is definitely amusing.
While some users offered tactful descriptions about unique nature of their states and shared important historical facts, others were a lot more candid. Americans dispelled absurd myths, showed what makes them proud and didn't hesitate to point fingers at their own flaws with hilarious examples. Proving once again that they know how to laugh at themselves. Scroll down to see for yourself!

I was really hoping for something much better for my home state. They could have went all out lol
The real description: Philadelphia on the east, Pittsburgh on the wet, Alabama in the middle.
I used to live in Nebraska, and I loved it! Down to earth, kind people.
'We have waffle house' does not accurately describe the waffle house situation down there.
I'm only an a*****e when it's warranted. Like when tourists visit and ask where top go to look at leaves. Right out your hotel window Sharon
'Right our your hotel window Sharon' HAHA that killed me. XD

"New Hampshire - where our liquor stores are the biggest tourist destination."
I'm never one to place judgement, especially if it is from another person's mouth. I have yet to got there myself. I have heard, however, people there are a bit full of themselves and not interested in even giving you directions or the time-of-day.
We see you holding your cellphone and assume you can read the clock on the screen. Our bad.

This state isn't full of a**holes... actually the majority of the people I've met are really nice and I was born and raised here.
Actually, there are plenty of welcoming people in NH (me being one of them). But people just tend to keep to themselves and stay busy with work....and apparently this year (2018) NH decided to go straight from winter to summer....
Up to our a_**holes with a**hole politicians during the primaries.
Maybe they don't drive like massholes, hence no need to wear helmets and seatbelts.
People turn their noses up at New Hampster 3 out of 4 years...until we make politicians sit at a lunch counter, look us in the eye, and explain their intentions with our Daughter (Country).
NEW HAMPSHIRE: BEAUTIFUL YEAR LONG, PERFECT TREES, FILLED WITH MEANIES, NOT FILLED WITH HAMPSTERS
When tourism is a major part of your economy, you kind of need to be nice to visitors.
The people are fine, it's the Massholes that suck at life.

Yellowstone super-volcano should worry more than just people in Wyoming - If it ever does erupt.
I think you need to have lived in the states. Makes no sense to me - at aaaaalllll. Me - European
Yea, if you've never visited the state it's not all that funny... Also some of them made not sense to me and I've lived in that state.

Having lived or vacationed in 27 of the states, this seems pretty accurate. :) This amazing country has so much diversity, I don't understand why more Americans don't visit more of their own country.
That’s because the US is too damn big and we don’t have enough vacation time to visit many places. Most people that travel the states are older retired folks.

I wonder if we could describe English counties that way - Am Cumbrian and Cumbria didnt even exist til 1974 - actually iI'm a Lancastrian
for some reason they combined 3 historic counties - Cumberland, Westmoreland and Northumberland - stole a bit of Lancashire and renamed us Cumbria

People in Hawaii would be eating Spam like their cousins if it weren't for the haoles making you a place in our wonderful country.
I've not been to most of the states, so I can't say much for them, but WOW, the U.S. has tacky f*****g flags.
