If there’s one thing that’s true about Texas, it’s that our pride is as big as, if not bigger than, the state itself. That being said, we don’t take too kindly to out-of-staters (or anyone, for that matter) bashing our homeland. Here are 10 of the easiest ways to make a Texan roarin’ mad.

Disclaimer: Do not try these at home without being prepared for severe consequences.

1. Asking us the age old question: "Do you ride your horse to work?"

Some of us might prefer to get around on horseback, but we sure as heck don't want you assuming it.
2. Saying the barbecue is better in your state.

No. Just no.
3. Giving us THAT look when we say "y'all."

Yeah, you know the one. And we don't appreciate it.
4. Telling us that unsweetened tea with sugar and sweet tea are the same thing.

There IS a difference. A HUGE difference.
5. Going 65 on a West Texas highway.

We'll definitely pass you, and we just might flip the bird at you too. Depends on our mood that day.
