Why would anyone want to annoy a Marylander? We’re a pleasant bunch, as long as you don’t get on our bad side. Do the following 11 things, and you will receive the biggest eye-roll of your life. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
1. Drive painfully slow.
Marylanders are known as aggressive drivers, which we proudly embrace. We've got places to be, so kindly move.
2. Stop in the middle of a traffic circle.
Keep the traffic flowing, and you won't have to witness our road rage.
3. Insult our favorite sports teams.
In Maryland, the bird is the word. No matter how the season is going, we will defend the Ravens and Orioles til the bitter end.
4. Talk smack about Michael Phelps.
Not only is he a national treasure, but he's a born and bred Marylander. We're extremely proud, to say the least.
5. Smash a crab to bits.
There's a technique to picking crabs, and it shouldn't involve smashing shells to oblivion.
6. Leave crab meat behind.
When it comes to Maryland's most treasured delicacy, never ever let it go to waste. Pick the crab clean, then check again just to be sure.
7. Run out of Old Bay.
Always have a backup, just in case.
8. Don't plow the roads.
We know we pay a lot of taxes, so we'd at least appreciate a snow plow coming through our neighborhoods, thanks.
9. Say you're bored.
There is so much to do and see in Maryland, especially outdoors. Go! Explore! You'll be glad you did.
10. Say Natty Boh isn't that good.
Listen, we know it's not the best beer, but it tastes like home.
11. Insult our state.
Marylanders have an intense amount of pride. Insult our state (or our flag) and you just may regret it.
