If you grew up in West Virginia there are certain things you’ve probably come to hate over the years. Here are a few of them:

  1. When people ask you how far you live from Richmond.

Samuel Augustus Mitchell Get a geography book, people. Or a history book or a just a map.

  1. Rich Rodriguez

One raised eyebrow/flickr He knows what he did.

  1. Potholes

Michael Gil/Flickr Ugh. These are especially bad after a hard winter.

  1. Hillbilly jokes.

Don the up north memory guy harrison/flickr No, we didn’t marry a relative. Yes, we wear shoes.

  1. When someone says something bad about West Virginia.

  1. Pitt

  1. Industrial accidents

MSHA Mining accidents, chemical spills, train derailments – we’ve had it all in West Virginia.

  1. Deer on the highways.

Stuart Oikawa/Flickr Nothing wrong with these guys in the forest, but they cause major damage on the roads.

  1. Humidity

  1. The movie Wrong Turn

20th Century Fox Thanks for nothing, Hollywood.

  1. West Virginia’s blue laws

Sodanie Chea Brunch is great but in West Virginia you can’t drink a mimosa with it on Sundays. Restaurants can’t sell it until 1 p.m.
