12 Foolproof Ways To Make Someone From New Jersey Cringe
There are certain things that really get to New Jerseyans; when we see or hear these things, we can’t help but cringe. Some of these things might make anyone cringe, but they have an even greater impact on residents from the Garden State. Looking to get on a New Jerseyans nerves? Any of these 12 things should do the trick. I’ve saved the best (worst) for last.
Get out of the fast lane if you can't handle the heat - we're talking to you, out-of-state drivers.
New Jersey cities and towns can hold their own; Jersey City was voted the best city in the U.S. for millennials and as one of the most livable cities in the country. Asbury Park was just named the coolest small town in America; towns like Hoboken and Haddonfield frequently top "best" lists as well.
Most of the cast wasn't even from New Jersey. While we're talking about t.v. shows, we're not all Real Housewives either.
Enough with the assuming already; you know what happens when you assume? New Jersey does have a sizable Italian population, but not all Italians are in the mob - this isn't The Sopranos.
This is so irritating! Put your trash in a can or take it with you. Our beaches are beautiful and we'd like to keep them that way. Pictured is Avalon, New Jersey.
We may eat it, but we're going to cringe a little; especially if you tell us it's THE BEST pizza. It's not.
You've gotta be careful about what you call this; find a local menu and let that guide you.
It's not that we can't (or couldn't figure it out), we just don't want to.
What do you mean there's nothing open but the McDonald's drive-thru? I guess we'll have to settle for some chicken nuggets...
Where do they play? Exactly. Don't even get me started on the "New York" Superbowl.
This is irritating everywhere but taking up two spaces in New Jersey is especially cringeworthy - parking spots can be hard to come by here.
This is going to make us cringe, definitely.
What makes you, as a New Jerseyan, cringe?
