Here Are 13 Things You’ll Never Catch Anyone From Pittsburgh Doing
Ask an out-of-towner the first thing that comes to mind when he or she hears “Pittsburgh,” and you’ll probably hear the Steelers a lot. Pittsburgh is known as a football town but what may not be quite as well-known to non-Pittsburghers are the things that Pittsburghers will never do, including:
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
Not going to happen. The Ravens are enemy #1.
The interstate rivalry between Pittsburgh and Philly keeps going strong. You'll never catch a real yinzer rooting for the Phillies or...
Cheering for the Flyers. And, if there are Philly fans in the stands in Pittsburgh, Pittsburghers will drown them out with their cheers for the black and gold.
Heinz reigns in Pittsburgh. Daring to choose Hunts over Heinz ketchup is just, well, blasphemous.
Real Pittsburghers say "yinz" and understand the unique language of Pittsburghese.
Soda. What's that? On this side of the state, we proudly order and drink pop.
Harsh weather never scares us. Pittsburghers will still show up in droves to Buccos' games in the rain, Steelers games in the snow, and Kennywood in the scorching heat.
It takes a little more than snow to scare Pittsburghers, although we might drive considerably slower just to be safe.
Pittsburghers are known for their kindness and will never ignore someone who needs help.
We respect and salute the generations who came before us.
Driving in Pittsburgh can be, well, something of a challenge. Most of us, even if unintentionally, have broken a traffic law or two at one point.
We don't insult our hometown and we don't take too kindly to those who do. In fact, we call those people jagoffs.
No matter where we go or how far we roam, we Pittsburghers always find our way back home.
Okay, fellow yinzers, what should we add to this list of things Pittsburghers will never do?
