Baltimoreans can be easy to get along with. That is, as long as you don’t do the following 10 things. When it comes to these items, avoid at all costs.
- Root for the Steelers.

- Drive slow.
Flickr / Jean-Etienne Minh-Duy Poirrier Traffic is already bad enough. There’s nothing worse than a slow driver making it even more unbearable.
- Take our parking spot after we’ve spent hours shoveling it out.

- Diss Lexington Market.
Flickr / jpellgen We’re aware it’s not located in the best neighborhood but we will always believe that this iconic spot has the most delicious food in the city.
- Only visit the Inner Harbor.
Flickr / m01229 We love the harbor but we’d also appreciate if tourists would also check out other spots, too. We have so much more to offer!
- Construction. Period.
Flickr / May We know it’s a necessary thing to keep the city going but it sure is frustrating to have to reroute every other turn.
- Say that there’s nothing more to the city than crime.
Flickr / Ted Van Pelt Yes. We have crime. But we’re so much more than that.
- Make fun of our accent.
Flickr / Jack Lyons Having a Baltimore accent is part of what makes us… us! We wear it proudly.
- Compare us to Detroit.
Flickr / Thomas Hawk Comparing us to Detroit (or any other US city) is just annoying. We have a different way of life, different cultures, atmosphere, etc.
- Assume we’re living here temporarily.
