There is nothing more time consuming than waiting for the elk to finish crossing the road. Unfortunately, whether Montanans have time for it or not doesn’t really matter. It’s all up to those pesky elk.

2. And They Have Even Less Time For Grizzly Bears

Montanans may be fearless individuals, but that doesn’t mean they’re stupid. Grizzly bears are not to be messed with. Ever.

3. Beef Burgers? Waste Of Time.

Who in their right mind would have a beef burger when you could have a bison burger instead?

4. People In Montana Have Zero Time For Shaving

Montanans love having long beards and will not make the time to shave them. It keeps Montanans warm in winter, it’s practical, and it looks darn good.

5. Montana Won’t Give Vegetarians The Time Of Day

Being a vegetarian in Montana is kind of impossible. No one’s really going to give you the time of day if all you ask for is a salad after they’ve prepared you veal and bison.

6. So, Naturally, If You Can’t Catch/Hunt Your Own Dinner, You’re Probably Wasting A Montanan’s Time

Hunting is a BIG deal in Montana. If you’re not willing to catch your own fish or hunt for your own meat, chances are Montanans won’t give you the time of day.

7. Beer That’s Not Craft Beer? What Even Is That?

Why waste time on Coors when you could be sipping a crisp cold one from Big Sky Brewing Company?

8. People In Montana Don’t Have Time For Dressing Up

In Montana, formal = cowboy boots, jeans, and maybe a cowboy hat. Anything more than that and you’re definitely overdressed.

9. Montanans Have No Time For Tourists

Montana is friggin’ beautiful, which is why tourists flock here in herds. But that doesn’t mean Montanans like having their small towns, roads, and national parks overrun.

10. And Even Less Time For Coloradans

While all tourists are aggravating, the second a Montanan sees that green license plate they know they’re in for trouble. Coloradans and Montanans are like night and day. Chances are they’re not gonna make much time for each other…

11. Rodeos Outside Of Montana Are Definitely A Waste Of Time

No matter how many times you go to a rodeo outside of Montana, you’ll continue to be disappointed. It’s a waste of time if it’s not a Montana rodeo.

12. If You Don’t Have Time For A Road Trip, Montanans Don’t Have Time For You

Everywhere you drive in Montana turns into a road trip. Towns and cities aren’t exactly nearby one another, so if you’re in Montana you’ll need to be prepared for a long drive at anytime.

13. Just Know That Montanans Don’t Have Time For Speed Limits Either

Montanans are speedy drivers (they have to be in order to get anywhere on time seeing as how far away they live from everything!). They don’t make much time for speed limits or slow pokes.

14.But Who Has Time To Drive A Car Anyway When You Could Just Ride Your Horse?

While the stereotype isn’t true that all Montanans exclusively ride horses, many do. So don’t be surprised if a Montanan doesn’t make much time to drive in the car with you if they’ve got their horse.

15. Montanans Aren’t About Wasting Time On Stress

Hot spring AKA Mother Nature jacuzzi, anyone?

16. Montanans Have Zero Time For People Who Complain About The Cold

It’s just a fact that Montana is COLD in the winter. You’re gonna get a ton of snow and ice, so what’s the point of complaining? Just grab some snowshoes or skis and enjoy.

googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest();
googletag.enableServices();
});

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-1425403275176-0’); });

17. And There Is No Time For People Who Are Lazy

Montanans pride themselves on their strong work ethic, so if you’re a lazy couch potato then Montana probably isn’t the place for you.

18. Montanans Have No Time For Gender Stereotypes

In Montana, girls are raised to be just as tough, strong, free, and wild as boys. So if you’re gonna stereotype, a woman or girl might just kick you where the sun don’t shine with her cowgirl boots.

19. You Better Be Up For Exploring If You Want A Montanan to Make Time For You

If you’re gonna live near a place like Glacier National Park, you’ve gotta be up for anything when it comes to exploring and adventuring. So, naturally, if you’re not down to climb in the mountains, you’re not gonna be on a Montanan’s good side.

20. Crazy Nightlife = Waste Of Time

Why waste time with fancy, expensive night clubs when you can just lay out and look at the stars? Montanans just don’t make time for stilettos and miniskirts at night when they could be camping out under a meteor shower….

21. If You’re Not Into The Small Town Vibe, Montanans Probably Won’t Make Time For You

The largest city in Montana still only has 11,000 people in it. So, as you can imagine, the towns here are small. If you’re not “into that” then Montanans are probably not going to make time for you.

22. So You Better Be All About Community, Or Else Montanans Won’t Have Time For You

Because there are so many small towns and cities, Montana is definitely all about communities and neighborliness. You’ve got your neighbors’ backs and they’ve got yours.

23. Montanans Don’t Have Time For Big Spenders

Montanans are pros at thrift store and bargain shopping. With so many awesome places to go, why waste time spending the big bucks on brand name clothing when you could thrift shop for the same things at a cheaper price?

24. If You Don’t Have Tough Skin, Montanans Aren’t Gonna Make Time For You

Montana is a rugged place to live so, naturally, the people here know how to be tough. You’ve gotta be ready to climb mountains, camp out in the wild, and hunt or catch your own meal.

25. There Is Zero Time For Haters In Montana
