As a general rule, residents of the Mile High City are pretty darn happy, and we’d like to keep it that way. (And, no, we’re not giddy because a certain substance is legal.) We’re giddy because life in Denver is downright joyous! There are, however, a handful of annoyances that really stick in our craw, so for goodness’ sake, please refrain from doing these 15 things that are sure to make any true Denverite mad!

1. Be a fair weather fan.

2. Bash any of our sports teams, players, or venues.

7. See No. 5 and 6.
