Minnesotans definitely have a unique culture and climate, and it makes for some pretty silly situations every once in a while. From “Minnesota Nice” causing traffic problems to weather related hilarity, here are some MN experiences that might seem a little odd to everyone else.

1. The dreaded Minnesota 4-way stop.

When everybody is too nice to exercise their right of way and you all just wave and smile at each other for a while.
2. When you just walk away for 5 minutes and your car looks like this.

A little startling, but known to happen during the worst winters.
3. Accidentally ordering your Caribou drink at Starbucks.

4. Being served hotdish by someone else - and pretending like your mom's isn't better.

5. Hearing it's finally 50 degrees out and running outside in shorts, before realizing the forecast was wrong.
