Here Are 11 Things You’ll Never Catch Anyone From Iowa Doing

Here in Iowa, there are just some things you don’t do. There’s a common unspoken and unwritten understanding that we all share when it comes to certain things. The following are 11 things you’ll never catch anyone from Iowa doing.

1. Disrespecting our farmers - we know that these hard-working people are the backbone of our country.

2. Disrespecting our elders - our parents taught us better than that.

3. Buying tomatoes, zucchini, or cucumbers in the summer. Why would you when you/your neighbor/your mom/your mother-in-law all have gardens overflowing with them?

4. Paying for a moving truck when you could just do it yourself.

5. Eating another state's pork tenderloin.

6. Or another state's sweet corn.

7. Missing out on an opportunity to put ranch on everything and anything possible.

8. Drinking "soda." Sorry, we drink pop here in Iowa.

9. Missing a chance to snap a beautiful Iowa sunset (or sunrise) photo.

10. Leaving someone stranded in the snow. You bet we're going to turn around and help them.

11. Paying to use a toll road. Because here in Iowa, the highways are FREE!

Have you ever been caught doing any of these things? What other things would you never catch anyone from Iowa doing?
