Bad things about living in Indiana

[TheNewGuy]

Oh and all the snow of course

over 50% of the people were stupid enough to vote for that Obama lover Donnelly in the senate election and I am sure we will pay for it and can't get rid of his disgrace rear end for 6 years is a big one for me.

Hatred = not getting free crap? Whaaaaaaaa?

Anyway,

I will vote heartily for the large population of suicidal squirrels and rabbits that seem focused on getting my poor truck totaled.
I also dislike the propensity for people locally to let their cats run wild and breed with the ferals. It's bad enough raising chickens with hawks, 'coons, and cyotes without worrying about some half-breed cat killing my girls

One of the 3 things I listed was something free. Name one thing the state does for service members. And them wearing an American flag lapel doesn't count.

The weather

And weather

I'm not sure weather or knot you are serious. Witch is it?

Well, stop running idiots like Mourdock who think a rape is God's design next time. It seems the GOP pissed off most of the women in the state. You got the result you deserved.

As someone who's lived here for over a year after living on the east coast for 20+ years, I'll say this:

-crazy weather and tornadoes
-no beaches
-road construction takes forever
-county taxes (this was completely new to me)
-REALLY slow drivers in a lot of places

-road construction takes forever

Seriously! I think road construction projects aim to create maximum inconvenience for drivers. I've seen my town dig up a major road, and then "leave it fallow" (best I can describe it) for a while. Who's getting the pay off here? I think someone is running a scam somewhere.

Back in Ny/Nj they don't play around. It's probably because they get paid more the faster they complete it.

Bad drivers everywhere. Seriously, does anyone in this state use a turn signal???

 

[danielson]

No.. especially those people from out of state who drive too fast... misterchester.... lol

 

[Mackey]

The worst thing is that people Indy and to the north (especially to the north) look down on those of us from the Southern parts. They can't seem to accept that many hoosiers have a southern or at least twangy accent.

I drive the speed limit, I'm talking about people that go 25 in a 40. Really grinds my gears!

Driving in Indiana is a walk in the park compared to where I'm from. Back there a majority of people don't know this "turn signal" thing you speak of. Getting cut off is the norm, speed limits are loose suggestions. I drove in NYC once, and don't think ill do it again.

I've driven there. Its a little hectic, but at times. Especially when there are 6 lanes. I'm not talking about interstate driving though.

Seriously? Crazy weather and tornados? And you're from the east coast. Hurricanes and waves. Hello.
No beaches? We have as many beaches as the East coast has, the part not on the water. We have the Dunes. But, like the east coast, they are near the water.
Been on the east coast. Trying to figure how our drivers are any different.

You have days to prepare for a hurricane, and most neighborhoods are usually OK. You have 15 minutes at best to prepare for a tornado, and it can hit anywhere. But then Midwesterners usually respond with, "But tornados never hit you." I guess it's what you're used to.

Great Lakes beaches aren't ocean beaches. There is an enormous difference for people who see the difference. These are the people who have the urge to be by the sea, to witness the world pouring in through the ports. It feels not quite right to be so landlocked, with so many suicidal deer trying to give business to the local body shop.

Indiana drivers are polite. I'd say that's a highlight of this state. Driving in NYC is totally nuts. Do not do it.

Too many litter bugs here in Indiana. Can people not take their fast food cups and bags home with them instead of flinging them out the window when they are finished. Its not just our highways; even our lakes and streams are garbed with trash.

On the bright side, there isn't normally any critters lurking in our forests that are going stalk and eat our children for lunch.
