Louisiana is a truly unique place, and once you’ve lived here for a while, there are certain things that you just wouldn’t be caught dead doing. That’s because once you live here, you start to get used to the way things are and it can be very hard to change. Here are some things you’ll never catch anyone from Louisiana doing:

1. Complaining about being bored.

If you live in Louisiana, there’s no way to be bored—because there’s always something going on!
2. Sending back food for being “too spicy”.

Truly, it’s usually the opposite—not spicy enough! But people from Louisiana are a little too nice to send stuff back. We just bring our own hot sauce.
3. Go out in the swamp in the evening without any kind of bug protection.
