After living in Louisiana for a while, you start to learn a thing or two. In so many ways, the things you learn to avoid are just as important as the things you are drawn to. Here are some of the things that people in Louisiana have learned to avoid at all costs.

1. The national insurance agencies. They’ve been created to make you crazy.

And have pretty much written off southern Louisiana...
2. Telling someone from Louisiana that you don’t like Louis Armstrong. What’s wrong with you?

Who could say no to this man?
3. Trying to get boudin or cracklin’s at a meat store outside of Louisiana. It’s just not going to happen.

And you will get sad fast.
4. Being the last people to evacuate from a big storm.

Get ready to be in the car for the next 12 hours.
5. Bourbon Street on New Years Eve. It’s so crowded you can barely walk.
