For the most part, Alabamians are an easy-going group of people. With that being said, there are many things that drive most of us crazy, including the nine things listed below. How many of these nine things can you relate to?
- People making fun of our accent.

- Being told we take college football too seriously.
Flickr/James Willamor Here in the South, college football isn’t just a sport. It’s a way of life! People who aren’t from here just don’t understand.
- People assuming there’s nothing to see or do in Alabama.
Flickr/Pieter Morlion From festivals and fairs to concerts and plays, there’s always something to see and do in Alabama.
- Overhearing someone order unsweet tea.
Flickr/Godverbs Here in Alabama, only sweet tea will do!
- People not showing kindness towards one another.
Flickr/faungg’s photos A little kindness, whether it be a handshake, a smile, or a small chat, goes a long way in Alabama. After all, we take Southern hospitality very seriously.
- Getting stuck behind some type of farm equipment when we’re running late.
Flickr/chapstickaddict This has happened to most of us, and even though it can be quite frustrating, it’s all part of living in Alabama — especially if you live in the country.
- Not knowing what the weather will be like from day to day.
Flickr/Dee Young Alabama’s weather is so unpredictable. One day it might be hot and sunny, and the next day it might be cold and snowy. You never really know what to expect.
- Overhearing someone say “pop” or “soda” instead of “coke.”
Flickr/João André O. Dias We don’t use the words “pop” or “soda.” Here in Alabama, a soft drink is simply a “coke.”
- Assuming everyone in Alabama lives on a farm.
Flickr/Pat Henson Sure, many people in Alabama live on a farm, but not everyone. Some people have chosen to reside in the suburbs. An important thing to remember is that Alabama is a great place to live. It doesn’t matter where you lay your head at night.
