Here in Louisiana, we are truly a pretty easy going bunch. But when it comes to certain things, it can become quite easy to set us off. Here are some of the quickest paths to making someone from Louisiana angry.
- Asking us, “Do you speak French?”
Flickr.com / David Ohmer Um, no.
- Truly, when you’re judgmental in any way.
Flickr.com / Fionn Kidney In Louisiana, kindness is the key.
- Not having enough food.
Flickr.com / Ioan Sameli I mean this is just blasphemy.
- Implying that people from Louisiana are stupid.
Flickr.com / alamosbasement This is just plain wrong.
- Not having enough spice in your food.
Flickr.com / Javier Gonzalez What’s the point of eating it then?
- Asking us, “Do you live in New Orleans?”
Flickr.com / Jason Mrachina No, not everyone in Louisiana lives in New Orleans! There are other cities, OK?
- Asking us about Katrina.
Flickr.com / NewsMuse It doesn’t seem to matter if you live in New Orleans or not, people always seem to ask this…
- Telling us we have to ask permission first.
Flickr.com / OregonDot In general, Louisianians like to do things their way.
- Serving us seafood from another country.
Flickr.com / ulterior epicure When you live in Louisiana, imported seafood just doesn’t work.
- Acting like you know everything there is to know about Louisiana when you’ve been here for 5 minutes.
Facebook.com / Only in Louisiana / Donna Lowery It takes time to really understand all the intricacies of the culture here—so don’t rush it!
- When people ask, “Why do you live down there if it always floods?”
Facebook.com / Only in Louisiana / Freida Koskela I don’t know. Why do you live in the place where you call home?
Whew. When any of this stuff happens to me, I can’t help but get angry! What sets you off in Louisiana? Let us know! We love to hear from you.
