12 Undeniable Habits That No Mainer Can Ever Unlearn
If you’ve lived your life in Maine, there’s a good chance you’ve picked up some pretty unique habits over the years. Whether it’s the way you speak, the things you do or how you approach life, chances are these habit run deep! Think a move to a new state will erase them? Nope! The things you learn to do as a wee-Mainer stay with you. And, if you’re like us, you couldn’t be happier about it! Here are those undeniable habits – the ones you’ll never unlearn. Which ones sound familiar to you?
Mainers know that there's nothing more wonderful than having a seat at the table. That means we're always prepared for just one more. You never know who might drop by!
Some of you might deny it, but even if you don't wear it you appreciate when others are decked out in plaid. Doesn't it remind you of winters and dad taking you sledding?
4. Ending up with a porch or front yard filled with seasonal "things."
In the summer it might be paddles or swim trunks, in the winter it might be snow boots or bibs. But, you can always tell the season by the state of a Mainers front porch area!
Mainers know that spring doesn't just mean warmer weather and less snow. It also begins construction season, which means this view is a daily occurrence. The best line of defense is simply finding a new route.
And shouting it from the rooftops. Or, our lapels, as the case may be.
Another thing that comes with being a longtime Mainer is experiencing all that mother nature has in store for us, including the epic ice storm that ravaged Maine in 1998! Do you remember it?
