18 Sure-Fire Ways To Make A Mainer Mad
As states go, Maine is one of the best. I like to think that’s a result of the population. We’re some of the kindest, warmest, funniest people I know. But, it’s not all fun and games up north. There are times that the smiles are slow and the attitude is fierce. If you’ve never seen a Mainer mad, consider yourself lucky. We don’t anger easily, but when we do – it’s not pretty. Here are a few of the quickest ways to make us mad. Avoid them at all costs!
We've got so many amazing lakes, such as Moosehead pictured here.
It's a camp. When we go there, we're going "upta camp." Just accept that and we'll all get along. You might even be able to come visit.
We know it's going to be overpriced and, even worse, not the real thing.
It's not you that we hate, it's the fact that it takes so long to repair what the winter did to us.
It's this red one. As you can see, it's NOT in Canada.
We do. And it's just as beautiful, it not more so, than the rest of Maine.
We know this one from personal experience. Whenever we're too light on including northern Maine in an article, we are quickly reminded of our error!
Okay, so it's happened. But, after the first time, you never forget to be on the lookout!
Just kidding, we love you tourists. Well, I'm sure some of us do.
Both public and private universities call Maine home. And they churn out some of the best in the country.
There are many friggen pahts, bub!
If you can't say "Calais" right, you might be the one who talks funny, bub.
It might not be Manhattan, but there's no shortage of things to do. Although, with all these expats, it might become Manhattan eventually. P.S. - This might make us mad, too.
It doesn't matter if you're driving perfectly, we'll probably still find a flaw.
We get grumpy when there's a line at our local coffee shop. The only exception here is if you're talking to a local business owner. They're very happy to take those passengers and send them home with souvenirs!
When it's not cold, it's beautiful. And we do summer exceptionally well.
Yes, we know we chose to live here, but have you ever shoveled for so long that your eyebrows have ice in them? Didn't think so.
Okay, maybe that's not true. We know you just can't understand it the way we can. But, stick around a while and you'll probably learn to love it almost as much.
Maine will always be home. We’re proud of that and can’t deny it. Click here to read our list of reasons that we’ll never call another place “home,” no matter how long we live there.
