1. Everyone Hates The Patriots<\/h2>\n

While the Patriots get plenty of love in New England, most football fans treat them like the Yankees of the NFL, thanks to their recent successes over the last decade and the various scandals they\u2019ve been involved in. Expect a little jealous hatred when you start talking about your favorite team.<\/p>\n

2. Thankfully, Everyone Also Hates The Yankees<\/h2>\n

People might not like the Patriots, but tons of people also hate the Yankees, so you\u2019ve got that going for you. You\u2019ll have no problem finding someone to talk trash about this New York baseball team with.<\/p>\n

3. You\u2019ll Meet Plenty Of Red Sox \u201cFans\u201d<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s no secret that when a team is good, tons of fair-weather fans step out of the woodwork to show their support. You\u2019ll run into plenty of Boston fans that have joined the bandwagon over the last 10 years, despite having no connection to the East Coast.
\nIt will definitely get annoying if you consider yourself a die-hard supporter of the team.<\/p>\n

4. People Assume New England Is Really Just Boston<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Even though the New England region consists of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont, everywhere outside of Boston tends to get ignored by the outside world.
\nDon\u2019t fret too much. It\u2019s mostly because outsiders simply aren\u2019t aware of the truth.<\/p>\n

5. You Might Get Called A Masshole<\/h2>\n

Thanks to the aggressive lifestyle that many East Coasters lead, everyone from New England tends to get lumped under the description of \u201cMasshole.\u201d Don\u2019t let it get to you, just take pride that the place you\u2019re from is unique enough to have a reputation around the country.<\/p>\n

6. America Doesn\u2019t Run On Dunkin\u2019<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let the Dunkin\u2019 Donuts slogan mislead you. Other coffee shops tend to reign supreme if you start to travel around the country. Sometimes you might still be able to find that Dunkin\u2019 cup that you love so much, but often you\u2019ll have to settle for Starbucks.<\/p>\n

7. Don\u2019t Freak Out When You Find Tomatoes In Your Chowder<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

While New England clam chowder is served up tomato free, some parts of the country insist on putting these veggies in their version of this dish. It\u2019s something you\u2019ll never get used to.<\/p>\n

8. Good Lobster Rolls Are Hard (Impossible?) To Find<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

In New England, finding a great meal can be as easy as walking up to the nearest shoreside shack and handing them cash\u2026unfortunately that\u2019s not always the case. If you\u2019re ordering a lobster roll far from home, expect the lobster to by dry and flavorless.<\/p>\n

9. \u201cWhat\u2019s A Bubbler?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User davebloggs007 (cropped)<\/div>\n

Even though you might have grown up calling that machine you get a drink from a \u201cbubbler\u201d, this term doesn\u2019t really get out much. If you ask for a bubbler outside of New England, expect a blank stare. Everywhere else it\u2019s a \u201cwater fountain.\u201d<\/p>\n

10. People Will Assume You\u2019re Loaded<\/h2>\n

The entire Northeast region has a reputation for being full of wealthy people, rightfully so if you look at the stats behind this stereotype.
\nThis might cause new friends to treat you a bit differently, expecting you to cover cabs and pick up rounds simply because they think just because you\u2019re from the east coast, you\u2019re probably a blue-blood.<\/p>\n

11. No One Else Says Frappe<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Everywhere else a \u201cfrappe\u201d is simply a milkshake. If you\u2019re in the Midwest and order a \u201cfrappe\u201d at dinner, the server probably won\u2019t know how to respond.<\/p>\n

12. Expect People To Freak Out When It Snows<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Just because New England gets along fine with a little snow on the ground, don\u2019t expect this everywhere. Most places around the country aren\u2019t as familiar with life in a winter wonderland as you are.
\nPeople tend to panic, emptying grocery shelves and causing huge traffic jams on lightly snow dusted roads. It\u2019s sure to be a nuisance.<\/p>\n

13. Late Night Dining Might Not Be An Option<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User TheeErin<\/div>\n

Diners that stay open 24\/7 are kind of an East Coast thing. If you\u2019re used to grabbing a late night snack on your drunken trip home from the bars, you\u2019ll probably be stuck with fast food.<\/p>\n

14. \u201cNew York Is In New England, Right?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User marco_n65<\/div>\n

While many people assume the New England revolves around Boston, tons of others assume that New York is the hub of this region. Nothing is worse than when new friends mistake you for a New Yorker.<\/p>\n

15. Driving Won\u2019t Be So Intense<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User randychiu<\/div>\n

With narrow roadways and aggressive drivers, navigating around a New England city can be a pretty tense operation, as flipped birds and honking horns have become a normality in many parts.
\nWhile it\u2019s just a way of driving in the New England region, these acts won\u2019t be taken so lightly outside of the East Coast.<\/p>\n

16. People Will Find Your Use Of \u201cWicked\u201d Funny<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User [Duncan]<\/div>\n

Unless someone\u2019s from New England, there\u2019s a good chance they haven\u2019t worked the word \u201cwicked\u201d into their vocabulary yet. The first few times you drop this adverb mid-sentence, it\u2019s sure to catch them off guard. Don\u2019t worry though. They\u2019ll be saying it themselves in no time.<\/p>\n

17. Most Americans Ship Packages From The \u201cPackage Store\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Another word that doesn\u2019t really leave the region, calling a liquor store the \u201cpackage store\u201d or \u201cpackie\u201d will just confuse new friends. They probably won\u2019t even know what you\u2019re talking about at first. After all, why would someone wait until a big party to mail things?<\/p>\n

18. Candlepin Bowling Will Be Impossible To Find<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Ben Sisto<\/div>\n

With smaller balls and smaller pins, you\u2019ll never find a candlepin bowling place outside of the New England region. Maybe outsiders just aren\u2019t comfortable enough with their bowling abilities to take on the additional challenge.
\nWell, at least that means bowling will be significantly easier out there.<\/p>\n

19. Get Your Moxie Fix Before You Go<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

A regional favorite when it comes to soft drinks, Moxie will be impossible to find most other places in the country. Drink all you can before you leave.<\/p>\n

20. Bring A Few Bottles Of Maple Syrup Along For The Ride<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User zappowbang<\/div>\n

After leaving New England, you\u2019ll be shocked at the sticky substance that most Americans are trying to pass off as \u201cmaple syrup.\u201d If you don\u2019t bring some of your favorite brand with you, you\u2019ll be begging friends back home to ship you some in no time.
\nOh and prepare to say, many times, \u201cyes, it really is better than the store-bought stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

21. No One Will Know The Whalers<\/h2>\n

While this former professional hockey team still gets plenty of love in New England, you won\u2019t find many fans for the Hartford Whalers across the rest of America.<\/p>\n

22. You\u2019ll Miss All That History<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User wickenden<\/div>\n

The first place colonists settled, there seems to be an awesome story about every street corner in New England. You\u2019ll be a little let down when you find out your new town was built within the last 50 years (or something is considered to be a \u201chistorical site\u201d just because it survived the 1970\u2019s).<\/p>\n

23. And You\u2019ll Even Miss All The Ghosts<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Rob Speed<\/div>\n

Thanks to all the history in New England, it\u2019s no surprise that Scooby Doo and the gang were so successful at hunting down ghosts in this area. Your new home probably won\u2019t be quite so haunted. Just hope you don\u2019t get too lonely.<\/p>\n

24. Some Differences Are Just Jaw-Dropping<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Wesley Fryer<\/div>\n

Most New Englanders are aware that they live in one of the more liberal parts of the country. However the first time many of them encounter bright red states or the Bible belt, they\u2019ll be a bit surprised at how different these places really are.
\nNew things are likely to surprise you every day when it comes to religion and social politics.<\/p>\n

25. People Will Always Ask You To Repeat Yourself<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User bark<\/div>\n

New Englanders have a tendency to talk really fast. That coupled with an accent makes it pretty hard for outsiders to catch every word. Don\u2019t be surprised if people have a hard time understanding you at first.<\/p>\n

26. Jimmy Is Usually Just Some Dude\u2019s Name<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Some people say they\u2019re just the chocolate sprinkles, other New Englanders say they can be rainbow too, but nowhere else in the country is in a heated debate about what sprinkles are called.
\nIf you order ice cream outside of New England, just go with \u201csprinkles\u201d unless you want to explain yourself.<\/p>\n

27. New Friends Will Love The Fluffernutter<\/h2>\n

A sandwich consisting of peanut butter and marshmallow cream, most Americans aren\u2019t as aware of this improvement on the PB & J as you are. Introduce them to it and they\u2019ll love you for it.<\/p>\n

28. Whoopie Pies Don\u2019t Really Travel<\/h2>\n

Two soft slabs of chocolate cake stuffed with frosting, it\u2019s hard to beat this New England treat. Fortunately, this one is easy enough to make wherever you are, making you the life of any party.<\/p>\n

29. You\u2019ll Miss Fall More Than You Thought You Would<\/h2>\n

Sure, everywhere in the country acknowledges the fall months. It\u2019s just that everyone just doesn\u2019t get the fall you know and love.
\nIf the time of year that the New England trees turn so many different colors is your favorite time of the year, expect a letdown wherever you end up moving.<\/p>\n

30. Nowhere Will Ever Top New England<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re from New England and you love it, no were else will ever take the place it has in your heart. Everywhere you go, you\u2019ll find it hard not to just compare the new place to New England, pointing out every aspect that falls short.
\nFortunately, once you\u2019re a New Englander, you\u2019re a New Englander for life. They\u2019ll always welcome you back with open arms.
