12 Things You Should Never Say To A Mainer
Mainers have a pretty thick skin. We have to when living in a state that’s known for funny accents and cold winters. In fact, we mean that we literally must have a thick skin! But, no matter how many jokes we take in stride there are some things we’re just plain tired of hearing. So, for those of you with friends in Maine, read up and help avoid any uncomfortable situations. And, for those of us Mainers out there, maybe we can lighten up just a bit. After all, maybe the folks who aren’t from Maine are just a little jealous!
Nope. It's not. Even if we're in Cape Cod or some other coastal place. The lobster rolls outside of Maine are just NOT the same.
There isn't. We checked. At least, not the kind of snowstorm that we consider to be "big." Most of the time Mainer can handle the amount of snow that those in more southern states just can't deal with.
Have you considered that maybe you talk funny? And, really, what's a dropped "r" between friends anyway?
Summer is great, but things get even better in the fall! Changing leaves, cozy weather and lots and lots of hikes. Nope, things are definitely pretty great after the summer is over.
Yes we will. We always go to work. A little snow doesn't give us the day off. The roads will be cleared by morning and we'll all act as though nothing happened.
Okay, before anyone gets upset, we know this is a heated topic. But does anyone actually like this stuff? Be honest!
If there's one thing a Mainer will never forgive themselves for, it's not buying it when they saw it at Marden's. So, please, don't encourage us to walk away from that 50 feet of rope. We all know the jingle...
Nope, just that one pair. The one we've had for over ten years because they last. And also because, let's face it, we're not trying to spend another paycheck at L.L. Bean.
Yes. Yes I do. In fact, Mainers need to keep everything. You never know when you might need it again and there's plenty of room downcellah!
No. Portland, Maine is the real Portland. And we're not just saying that because we live here. The Portland located over on the west coast didn't show up until almost a century after we did!
We know it's not true. Friends and family conveniently plan their visits for summer. So, we officially wave them goodbye for a good 10 months of the year.
Does THIS look like a situation you'd like to leave? Our winters can be hard, but they're absolutely beautiful!
