11 Unwritten Rules Every Oklahoman Lives By ‘Til Death
Oklahoma is a unique state and if you’ve lived here very long, you’ve probably figured out there are some unwritten rules we go by in this neck of the woods. Here are 11 basic guidelines you need to know to survive in the Sooner State.
If you're selling something online or need to meet someone, Quiktrip is where you'll meet 99% of the time.
Of course you could survive without one of these, but don't blame us when you're stuck in a long line to pay your toll.
Seriously, pay attention to them...they could save your life one day.
We do look at them, but we know the weather changes so often that it's never completely accurate.
Every year, without fail, we have several drownings in our bodies of water. Be smart and wear your life preserver.
Pay attention to what is floating in the water around you and don't provoke any snakes you see. We have cottonmouths that are poisonous.
Oklahomans recently ranked one of the worst states for rude drivers. But don't worry, off the road, we are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet.
Air conditioning is optional in some states, but not here. You will be miserable half of the year if you don't have it.
Seriously, we have lots and lots of mosquitoes and bugs. If you don't have it around, it can turn an enjoyable evening into a miserable one.
One day out in our summer sun and you can seriously burn your eyes and skin.
Okay, so maybe not for you young kids, but cowboy boots are accepted at weddings, picnics and at the office.
