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.
I live in Ohio and have never seen people in pajamas in public. I would have put "Turn signal? What's that?"
Omg yes! No one uses their f ing turn signal!

I have lived in Ohio all my life. I have never heard this. What does this mean? I have never seen anyone walking around in pajama's (sweats maybe).
No where except wally world maybe but I thought that was everywhere

Connecticut: "The state where seeing someone wearing pajamas is the most interesting thing to see anywhere"
I was hoping for Spring Summer Fall and Winter all in one minute
Or road construction on highways all year every year but nothing get better!

Mamas in pyjamas dropping off the kids at school and doing a quick bit of shopping is a bit of a thing in the UK. Our supermarkets try banning them. Personally, I can't get too worked up about clothing that covers more of your body than a lot of supposedly acceptable day wear. Like those jeans that were mainly just holes (Bored Panda feature about Epic Clothing Fails) and the Brown Tie-dyed skirt.
I figure if you're COVERED, and if no one would pitch a fit if it was solid black? Have at it. I live in tank tops and leggings but rarely go anywhere, I have nicer clothes than that if needs be. Life's to short to get bent out of shape like that.

In Cincinnati and surrounding counties, teens and adults wear pajama bottoms in school, to shop etc. We have to address this dress code violation constantly in the schools.
ah yes. i remember living in parma. pajamas at the grocery store, and men wearing socks with sandals...
This is hilarious. Good for you. No reason to dress-up if you don't feel the need. I do hope you put on slippers
Rigid (low) speed-limits. Authoritarian police and government. BREATHTAKING countryside, in summer at least. Also Rock-n-Roll hall of fame. and horrible roads in Cincinnati (which is like a giant mole resting on the body of Ohio. - difficult to ignore, unattractive, probably non-cancerous).
This is so true! I read this to my sister after she got back from shopping...in her pajamas!
I figure if it's more covered up than a bathing suit "what's the big deal?" Pajamas outside are perfectly normal, aren't they?!!
FWIW, that flag is wrong. Ohio flag has no black in it and it's not rectangular.
Columbus, Ohio: Sophisticated, Educated and Diverse. Rest of Ohio: ultra-urban or ultra-rural.
This is a dumb one. I live in Ohio and it could've been so much better! It should've just said "The Cleveland Browns."
'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
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.
Load More Replies... This was a great idea and I am so glad you posted it. What a hoot to listen to what people had to say about their "homeland." I loved it. Thanks :) :)
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.
