We Texans live by an unwritten code of conduct. There are certain things we just won’t do under any circumstances, and these are 12 of the main ones:
- Saying “you guys”
Flickr/charlottesvillearts_pcaphotos Nope. It’s y’all or nothing.
- Using horses as a primary means of transportation
Flickr/abqtrucker Contrary to popular belief, we do in fact have cars here in the Lone Star State.
- Turning down BBQ
Flickr/wallyg If you can honestly say no to this juicy, meaty goodness, you probably aren’t a Texan.
- Shopping for groceries somewhere other than HEB.
Flickr/saintseminole It’s basically the Mecca of food, and we refuse to be told otherwise.
- Getting up from the couch on Sundays
Flickr/jdtornow As long as we have our beer, our snacks, and the game, good luck getting us to go anywhere.
- Hating Blue Bell
Flickr/jonnyhunter We love it so much, we risk our lives by eating it during recalls.
- Turning down a day on the river during the summer
Flickr/paddymurphy Not a chance. If you need us, we’ll be floating the Guadalupe.
- Measuring distance in miles
Flickr/mortaupat As if. Our state is 900 miles across.
- Missing the rodeo
Flickr/nikonlarry It’s not an optional event.
- Driving in the snow
Flickr/niqscott Nope. On the off-chance we get enough snow to actually accumulate on the ground, you can find us holed up in our homes wondering when the world is going to end.
- Passing up an opportunity to watch the sunrise (or sunset)
Flickr/phunk It’s a whole different experience here in Texas.
- Putting beans in our chili
Flickr/via What’s WRONG with y’all, Northerners?!
Do you agree with this list? What else would you never catch a Texan doing?
