We live in a beautiful state and that can make us leery of leaving it, even on a vacation. Some people get so accustomed to spending time in Kentucky; they lose the desire to go anywhere else. Mind you, it is easy to get comfortable in our nature’s majestic embrace, but it doesn’t hurt to get out and see other places too. The Bluegrass is not going to get her feelings hurt if we visit elsewhere once in a while. Plus, regardless how much love we have for the Kentucky, some things can get a bit tedious.

Here are 14 signs you’ve spent too much time in Kentucky:

14. During conversations, you find yourself dragging those vowels a bit longer than northerners.

13. You feel a face palm coming on at the slightest suggestion you have an accent when chatting with an out of towner.

12. Derby season makes you cringe if you live anywhere near Louisville or have to travel there for any reason. The traffic jams are reminiscent of the city streets in Walking Dead… hungry souls stretched out for miles. We rank in the 30s for congestive city traffic in the U.S.

11. Someone wearing that special shade of blue is automatically assumed to be a Kentucky Wildcat fan.

10. A person sporting red is as much a Louisville Cardinal fan as the one in blue is a Kentucky Wildcat fan.

9. When it’s a college game, you generally avoid anyplace with a television other than home. If it is a Kentucky versus Louisville game… you avoid leaving the house altogether.

8. When the sun shines and the weather is unusually warm from November to May, you know it is going to rain.

There comes a time in Kentucky, when we should consider a vacation. Take a few days and see how the other side lives. Afterwards, any frayed nerves will likely be comforted by the sweet annoyances of home again. What triggers the urge to take a vacation for you?
