11 Awkward Moments Every Ohioan Has Endured At Least Once
Traveling out of state can be awkward. Likewise, hosting out-of-state visitors can be awkward. Why? Because, in case you haven’t already noticed, Ohioans tend to live life a little differently than most Americans. The following are 11 awkward moments every Ohioan has endured at least once—and if you haven’t endured at least half of these then you’re lying.

You know what we mean. You don't have to look so confused.

Listen. It’s "Meijer’s," "Kroger’s" and "JC Penney’s" here and we don’t care if that’s wrong because it just feels right to us. (And no, we will not repeat ourselves just so you can laugh at us again.)

Who knew Ohio had some of the most up-to-date stores? An attached McDonald's instead of a Subway is a surefire sign this state's Walmart is indeed stuck in the 90s.

Sorry, not sorry.

This is only awkward because you know better. If you left home without the Ohio essentials (ice scraper, extra layers of clothing, etc.) it's your own fault.

Listen. We don't have accents. And don't even waste your time trying to tell us we do.

Alrighty then. Someone's a little heartless.

Here in Ohio, street construction can happen anytime, anywhere and you can't expect it to be finished, like, ever. Just find a new way.

Again, you know better. It's not safe for patio furniture until mid-May. Why do we even need to discuss this?

Practice makes perfect. (But until then, you can just keep trying because it's hilarious to hear.)

Listen. We would try to explain this to you, be there's really no logical explanation. We absolutely love our state, so we make fun of it when the opportunity arises. It's complicated.
How many of these awkward moments have you endured? What ones would you add to this list? Let us know!
