Sometimes in Kansas City, the struggles are real. While there is the age-old complaint involving our wacky weather patterns, there are other more pressing struggles we can all relate to.

1. Explaining to visitors that we're mostly Missouri, only a little Kansas.

2. When someone from another state insists you have an accent.

3. When you think it's finally spring, and you suddenly get snow in mid-March.

4. Anytime you're going out of town, you have to worry about hitting deer and wrecking your car.

5. You know just how real the Kansas - Missouri rivalry is.

6. Your ears ringing for days after a Chiefs game.

7. When you're just trying to drive to work, but street construction is like:

11. Trying to dress yourself in the winter.
