Texans are a unique bunch of people, and we have a certain way of life here that simply makes sense to us. Of course, not everyone adheres to the same lifestyle, but there are a few key things that Texans just don’t do under any conditions. See if any of these fit you!
- Not watching a football game
colorblindpicaso/flickr Nope, when it’s football season, football is what’s on TV. End of story.
- Saying “you guys”
gamefaqs.com “Y’all” is the correct pronunciation. Period.
- Turning down BBQ
wally gobetz/flickr Umm…what?!
- Not tubing the river in the summer
sean loyless/flickr Everyone in Texas knows once summer is here, it’s time to break out the inner tubes and floatable water coolers, and hit the river!
- Not liking Blue Bell
kaleb fulgham/flickr Blue Bell = heaven disguised as ice cream.
- Driving in anything deeper than 1/2 inch of snow
texaseagle/flickr Because the whole state shuts down when it snows anyway, so staying inside under the blankets is our only option!
- Shopping anywhere except HEB
mitsy mcgoo/flickr Is there even any other grocery store besides HEB?
- Turning down a chance to explore nature
randall chancellor/flickr Unless it’s so hot our shoes melt on the pavement, or if the sky decides to drop buckets of rain on our heads, of course.
- Passing up a chance at a road trip
paul brady/flickr When you say road trip, we’re already packed up and in the car waiting for you.
- Giving up their guns
raymondclarkeimages/flickr The Second Amendment is not something you mess around with in Texas.
- Eating any fast food other than Whataburger
terry ross/flickr Nope, either it’s Whataburger, or no fast food at all.
- Passing up the opportunity to help someone
darinka maja/flickr Texas means friend, after all, and we enjoy being friendly to both strangers and loved ones alike.
What else do Texans not do under any circumstances? Tell us in the comments!
