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.
- The dreaded Minnesota 4-way stop.
Flickr/The Tire Zoo When everybody is too nice to exercise their right of way and you all just wave and smile at each other for a while.
- When you just walk away for 5 minutes and your car looks like this.
Flickr/Michael Hicks A little startling, but known to happen during the worst winters.
- Accidentally ordering your Caribou drink at Starbucks.
Flickr/cursedthing We stick to small, medium, and large in this state.
- Being served hotdish by someone else - and pretending like your mom’s isn’t better.
Flickr/regan76 Which it always is.
- Hearing it’s finally 50 degrees out and running outside in shorts, before realizing the forecast was wrong.
Flickr/GreggMP We’ve all been this guy.
- Getting stuck in a never ending goodbye.
Flickr/Peter Kaminski Sometimes you just have to give up and stay for a few more hours.
- Losing someone briefly at the State Fair - and panicking way too much.
Flickr/m01229 Those 5 phone calls probably weren’t necessary - they’re just in the nearest food line.
- Jumping in the water before everyone else, and then having nobody follow suit.
Flickr/thatedeguy But you’re past the point of no return so you’ll probably just stay in the water.
- Burning your mouth on a Juicy Lucy.
Flickr/Kim The pain is excruciating but completely worth it.
- Driving to the liquor store, and then remembering it’s Sunday.
Flickr/Tadson Bussey Whoops!
- Saying “Dontcha Know” unironically, and immediately regretting it.
