New Hampshire is home to a unique breed of people. Some things we love, and some things we would never, ever do. It’s what makes us unique! Here are 12 things you’ll never catch anyone from New Hampshire doing:
- Staying inside all winter long.
Mark Bonica/flickr If we did that we would be inside for months on end.
- Paying sales tax.
Michael Allen Smith/flickr Nope, we’d rather keep that money in our pockets, thanks very much!
- Using the term “deflategate.”
jj Hall/flickr If you use the term, you’re likely to hear some colorful language from us, however.
- Telling you about their favorite fishing spot.
Heath Alseike/flickr Not even our own kids or best friend know about that secret.
- Sitting around waiting for help.
Hans Splinter/flickr If we need to accomplish something, we’ll find a way to get it done ASAP.
- Speeding on I-93 in Concord.

- Swimming in water that isn’t crystal clear.
Joe Bar/flickr We’re swimming snobs and we don’t care.
- Taking our snow scaper out of our car.
Danny Kim/flickr By the time it’s safe to remove it in the spring we know we’ll be needing it again too soon.
- Pining for the big city.
Aurelian Guichard/flickr We prefer our lights at night to come from the amazing New Hampshire stars.
- Using that fake syrup.
Mike Mozart/flickr It shouldn’t even be able to share a name with real maple syrup.
- Missing a fun event because of the snow.
Jan Komer/flickr If we want to be there, we’ll get there. But if we’re talking about getting to work on time we suddenly lose our winter-driving ability.
- Shopping in a national chain when there is a local option available.
Jeffrey Smith/flickr We like to support our small businesses.
- Saying “Spring’s just around the corner” in March or April.
Smilla4/flickr We know it’s not officially spring until late May.
