Marylanders can be a pretty friendly bunch, but even the nicest of folks get annoyed sometimes. Check out this list of ways to make someone from Maryland cringe. You’ll likely agree that these things are the WORST.
- Pulverize crab with a mallet.
Flickr / Jeffrey Marylanders know to twist at the joints. Please, refrain from sending shell shrapnel through the air.
- Serve an inferior crab cake.
Flickr / Krista Little filler and lump meat. It doesn’t seem that difficult, but you’d be surprised…
- Stop in the middle of a traffic circle.
Flickr / Richard Drdul Keep it moving, bub!
- Drive under the speed limit.
Flickr / Sally Marylanders are known to have a lead foot and have no time for slow drivers.
- Drive with snow on top of the car.
Flickr / eWeaver Every year there are reminders on the news NOT to do this, and yet it persists. It’s a safety issue so please stop.

- And assume Baltimore is the only place in Maryland.
Flickr / Chesapeake Bay Program Good one! We’ve got beaches, mountains, state parks, waterfalls, small towns, and so many more spots to visit.
- Put ketchup on Thrashers fries.
