Virginia is not for haters…quite the opposite is true. But if you have to ask us if there’s anything we strongly dislike about living here, we could come up with a few things. See if you can relate to anything on the list.
- Humidity in the summer
niXerKG/flickr In July and August, it can feel like you’re walking through water. Or hot lava.
- Mosquitos
Shona Na./flickr Another part of summer that we don’t love.
- Potholes
darius norvilas/flickr Nothing’s worse than driving over a pothole you didn’t see. They seem to be especially bad after snow.
- Anyone who mocks our love of history
Harvey Barrison/flickr Virginians are proud of having such a history. Mockery is clearly just jealousy.
- Anyone who mocks us for saying “y’all”
Ross G. Strachan/flickr There’s nothing exaggerated about how we say it: just a simple abbreviation of you and all. Is efficiency anything to make fun of?
- Heavy traffic
1-95 during the work week or 64 headed east during summer holiday weekends…brace yourself for traffic.
- Litter
Kate Ter Haar/flickr Thank goodness for the Adopt-A-Highway programs. We love seeing wildflowers on the side of the interstate, not trash!
- Unpredictable weather
Brad Frost/flickr Heavy rain…sunshine…and a chance of snow this weekend.
- Knowing that living in Virginia has ruined you for living anywhere else

Above all else, we just love living here so much. We’re more than willing to look past some of these annoyances because there’s nowhere else we’d rather be. Is there anything that you’ve grown to dislike about being in Virginia?
