As a Texan who has lived in multiple places around the world, I can confidently say that nothing grinds the gears of a Texan quite like these:
1. Having speed limits under 75.
Anything less than that is just slower than molasses. What’s even the point? Okay, mayyyyyyybe 70. But even that’s pushin’ it.
2. Claim that any drink is better than sweet tea. Or Dr. Pepper. Or say that Mr. Pibb is the same thing as Dr. Pepper.
3. Be a vegetarian, or even worse, a vegan.
You are eating the food that my food eats. I do not understand.
4. Complain about it being hot when it’s less than 95 degrees outside.
We were born on the sun, we grew up on the sun, Texas is the sun.
5. Try to convince us that guns are unnecessary and violent.
Just like the computer didn't delete Hillary's emails, the gun did not pull it's own trigger. You will not succeed in convincing us of your ridiculous opinion, you silly little liberals.
6. Assume that because we wear cowboy boots and eat BBQ on a regular basis that we are just hicks from some hick town in some hick area of our hick state. (PS: don't call us hicks)
Cowboy boots go with everything, and they never go out of style, so, move out of my way, you Chaco wearing granola bar.
7. Tell us that the BBQ or Mexican food from any other state is “just as good.” Or that In-n-Out is just as good, or better, than Whataburger.
8. Make a stupid “everything’s bigger in Texas” joke.
9. Go to Austin, and then claim you’ve been to Texas.
No, darlin’, ya haven’t. We love Austin and all, but it's the only place in Texas that looks like a combination of Orange County and Seattle. You might want to take a drive through literally anywhere else in the state before you announce that you've "seen Texas."
10. Listen to Taylor Swift and then proceed to profess your love for country music.
It’s George Strait or it’s buh-bye.
11. Assume that just because we say “y’all” and “all y’all” and speak with a twang, we are not as intelligent as the rest of the U.S., much like this gem named Cliff:
Okay, Cliff, or should I say Tugs? The only thing this comment does is show that you have clearly never been to Texas. Please do us all a favor and take your ignorant rhetoric elsewhere. I'm not even sure where you got this false information from. But it has to be environmental, which must mean you're from Oklahoma. Yikes.
