17 Questions Indiana Natives, AKA Hoosiers, Are ALWAYS Asked
National Geographic

Going to school in the South really exposed me to how different the culture is across the US. To my surprise, Indiana seemed to be quite the enigma.

To some, it appears that the Midwest state really lives up to its title as “Crossroads of America,” aka going through Indiana to get to somewhere better, but to me, it will always be home.

Here are 17 questions that you’ve probably been asked if you’re an Indiana native:

1. Do you live in a corn field?

2. Why do you root for Chicago teams when you're from Indiana?

3. You call soda, "pop"???

4. Have you ever been to the Indy 500?

5. Why can't you smile in your license picture?

6. What is a Hoosier?

7. Have you ever been to Pawnee, Indiana?

8. Did you know that Stranger Things is set in Indiana?

9. What's "the Region?"

10. Isn't Michael Jackson from Indiana???

11. Do you know my cousin?? He lives in Indiana!

12. Does it snow a lot in Indiana?

13. What's a Culver's?

14. What's the big deal between IU and Purdue?

15. ...Isn't it a lake, not a beach?

16. Why does Indiana use two different time zones?

17. Did you know that Larry Bird was from Indiana??

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
