11 Strange Habits Every Texan Will Defend To The Death

We Texans are a weird bunch, and we're the first to admit it. However, that doesn't mean we aren't proud of our strangeness. Here are 11 odd things we do here that we stand behind no matter what.

1. Wear homecoming mums.

We know they look ridiculous, and we aren't exactly sure why we wear them...but it's tradition, okay? Leave us alone.

2. Take family photos in a field of bluebonnets.

You don't get your honorary Texan badge until you've done this. It's a rule.

3. Wear cowboy boots everywhere.

Rain or shine, to a wedding or underneath work slacks...the only time you'll catch us without them is when we're sleeping.

4. Tube on the rivers.

Only Texans can make a full day out of floating on an inner tube.

5. Ride our horses to the drive thru.

Okay, this one is more of a stereotypical joke, but it does happen! This is a real photo taken here in Texas.

6. Stand in line for hours just to get good barbecue.

We're very particular when it comes to brisket and sausage, and we won't settle for just any old place.

7. Make everything bigger.

It isn't just a saying. We go big or go home in every way possible.

8. Have things shaped like our state.

It isn't our fault Texas looks so cool.

9. Fry absolutely everything.

Cheese curds, butter, even coke...you name it, you can find it fried and on a stick in Texas.

10. Care more about high school football than college or professional.

Those Friday Night Lights will always have a special place in our hearts.

11. Flaunt our Texas pride wherever we go.

The world "humble" isn't really in our vocabulary - and we're totally okay with that.

Can you relate to any of these? What other weird habits do us Texans have that we're not ashamed to admit?
