This has happened to most of us, and even though it can be quite frustrating, it's all part of living in Alabama — especially if you live in the country.

Alabama's weather is so unpredictable. One day it might be hot and sunny, and the next day it might be cold and snowy. You never really know what to expect.
8. Overhearing someone say "pop" or "soda" instead of "coke."

We don't use the words "pop" or "soda." Here in Alabama, a soft drink is simply a "coke."
9. Assuming everyone in Alabama lives on a farm.

Sure, many people in Alabama live on a farm, but not everyone. Some people have chosen to reside in the suburbs. An important thing to remember is that Alabama is a great place to live. It doesn't matter where you lay your head at night.
