Whether you’ve been in Minnesota for your whole life or several years, there are bound to be a few things that consistently drive you crazy. We all get sick of the same things every year, and we put up with them to stay in this beautiful state with amazing culture. But once in a while it’s good to vent. So without further ado, here are the things you’ve grown to undeniably hate as a Minnesotan:
- Road Construction

- Unexpected Summer Rain
Flickr/Stevesworldofphotos Sure we all know summer in MN is full of heavy rain, but that one day when you thought it might be clear and then it rained all over your barbecue… Not cool, Minnesota.
- No Liquor On Sundays

- Losing Teams
Flickr/Amy Meredith Sure once in a while we have a good day, but overall it seems that Minnesotans get more bad news than good in the sports section.
- MOA
Flickr/Jim Moore Crowded, massive, and headache producing, we all get tired of the Mall of America, especially when we realize we need to go there for something.
- Getting Into A Cold Car
Flickr/Greg Gjerdingen Not only is it terribly uncomfortable for the first two minutes if you’re out in public and didn’t start it early, but you also have to pray that it’ll start in the first place some days.
- April
Flickr/Michael Hicks You know that month when the snow hasn’t all melted, but it’s stopped falling, and it’s not quite the beautiful spring you’re waiting for? If we could just skip this part and go straight to pretty flowers and green trees that’d be great.
- Moquitos

- The Increasing Crowds At The State Fair
Flickr/mo1229 Every Minnesotan dreams of exploring the State Fair without the insane crowds. Mostly, because it takes way too long to get that bucket of cookies. We’re talking hours not minutes.
- Stereotypes
Flickr/Meme Generator Sure there might be an ounce of truth in the cold jokes, but it gets tiring to always be stereotyped and mocked by the other 49.
These things definitely irk us from time to time, but when it comes down to it, our state is full of natural beauty and phenomenal people, and most of us would never dream of leaving.
