When you come from Colorado, you know that there are just some things that we do differently (AKA better than anyone else). While most natives are accustomed to these traditions/habits/ways of life, other out-of-towners may not be, which makes these 12 seemingly normal Colorado moments extra awkward:
1. When the Broncos dominated in Super Bowl 50 but completely effed up the following season.
Yes, we went into the season with big heads... but we had a completely new offense! And it was Paxton's first year! Peyton retired! *insert your talking point here*
2. Leaving Coors Field with your head hanging low every game since 2007.
Well, every game except for this year, of course! C'mon boys; this is our season -- let's go all the way!
3. Wearing your Broncos gear outside of Colorado.
This is my last sports reference, I promise... but you truly do not understand awkwardness and/or fear until you have worn your Broncos jersey in either KC, LA, or Boston...
4. Meeting a sketchy weed dealer to get your out-of-state fix.
Remember when you had to meet your old dealer behind the bowling alley to buy your pot? Unfortunately, this is still a reality in several states, as not everyone has legalized recreational marijuana. (Let's have a moment of silence, shall we?)
5. When you are forced to interact with a cat.
Oh, you have a cat? Does it play fetch? Is it going to kill me? WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THIS NON DOG?!
6. When you are out-of-town and ask for honey with your pizza...
Not all pizzas are created equal (and not all pizzas have a pillowy Colorado-style crust). It's a travesty, isn't it?
7. ...a microbrew...
Waiter: Oooh, yeah, we don't have anything like that, but can I get you a Bud?
Sassy Coloradan: I don't know... can I give you Monopoly money?
8. ...or order something Colorado style.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'What is Colorado style?'! WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT YOU DON'T HAVE GREEN CHILE AT THIS ITALIAN RESTAURANT?!
9. When you order brunch at a restaurant that doesn't serve brunch.
Contrary to popular belief, brunch is not a "standard" meal and is not acknowledged by everyone... tragic, right?
10. Going to the airport for the first time since the addition of Blucifer.
Wait... was that a giant blue horse with glowing red eyes or was the weed brownie waaaaaaay stronger than I had anticipated?
11. Finally, that oh-so awkward moment when you run into a Californian...
12. ...or Texan.
"Welcome to the neighborhood! Where are you from? Oh? Oh..."
