10 Things Everyone In Connecticut Should Avoid At All Costs
In Connecticut, we have a love-hate relationship with our own state. While in one breath we talk about moving away ASAP, in the next we will defend our state to those who voice criticism. If you’re not moving out anytime soon, here are ten things to avoid to live a happier and less frustrating life in the Nutmeg State.

We all have to do it but shy away from this dreaded spot whenever you can. Use online services to renew registration, pay emissions test late fees, and cancel registrations so you don't have to spend your precious time in those long, long lines.

Take the backroads or the parkway, but you don't want to get gridlocked on I-95.

Talk about a buzz kill, uttering one word about our taxes is the fastest way to bring the mood down in the dumps.

In Connecticut, you can get this scrumptious dish hot and buttery. Why would you eat it any other way?

We call them Massholes for a reason. If you see a vehicle with Massachusetts plates, stay as far away as possible.

Face it, we get plowed out pretty quickly here in the Northeast. Don't fight to find a parking spot and then spend even more time in line at the supermarket. You have enough food in your freezer and pantry to make it for a day or two... you really do.

Snow is unpredictable in Connecticut so keep those blowers and shovels out of the shed until well after the spring thaw.

We have so many fantastic independent family-owned pizzerias in our state, why would you stoop to eat a pie with cardboard crust and minimal toppings?

The percentages of mosquitos containing West Nile Virus and other diseases are on the rise in the Nutmeg State. Once the warm weather hits protect yourself from these bloodsuckers.

Considered the most dangerous intersection in Connecticut, a five-year study tallied the number of accidents at this interchange to be 654 with 23% of those crashes ending with injuries.
What other things to avoid should go on this list? We may have things and places to steer clear of in Connecticut, but there are plenty of experiences you’ll want to have. Try eating at this mac and cheese bar to send your taste buds on an incredible journey or head to this ocean-themed bowling alley for an under-the-sea adventure like none other.
