1. \u201cWhat Exit Are You From?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: AA Roads <\/div>\n

The exit people take to get home tells everyone what part of Jersey they live in, so it\u2019s pretty common for people to ask \u201cWhat exit?\u201d when they find out you\u2019re from Jersey.<\/p>\n

2. \u201cWhat\u2019s Up With All These Tolls?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Shore tolls, bridge tolls\u2026 tolls everywhere! But if you think the tolls are bad, just ask someone to show you their property taxes statement.<\/p>\n

3. \u201cHave You Ever Seen The Jersey Devil?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Gifrific <\/div>\n

You\u2019ll have a hard time finding anyone who claims to have seen The Jersey Devil in person, but there are always a handful of sightings from someone who knows someone who dated the guy who saw it.<\/p>\n

4. \u201cIsn\u2019t Everybody In New Jersey Italian?\u201d <\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Guest of a Guest <\/div>\n

Yeah, except for everyone who isn\u2019t. Jersey has a large Italian population, but the \u201creality\u201d shows you saw on television pander to stereotypes for ratings, not for educational purposes.<\/p>\n

5. \u201cDo You Know Anyone In The Mob?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Wikipedia <\/div>\n

You must have seen one too many Sopranos episodes. No, chances are that anyone you meet in Jersey will have no ties to the mob whatsoever.<\/p>\n

6. \u201cWhat Are Those Glorious Sandwiches And When Can I Have Another?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Visit New Jersey Facebook <\/div>\n

In North Jersey they\u2019re subs, in South Jersey they\u2019re hoagies. But they\u2019re all the same \u2013 sandwiches worthy of a food group of their own.<\/p>\n

7. \u201cHow Come Jersey Doesn\u2019t Have Any Pro Sports Teams?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: New Jersey Devils Facebook <\/div>\n

It does! Ever heard of the Jersey Devils? As for the non-hockey teams, Jersey residents tend to cheer for the regional teams.
\nNorth Jersey sides with New York teams and South Jersey roughs it out with the Philly teams.<\/p>\n

8. \u201cHow Do You Have The Giants And Jets Stadium?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Adweek.com <\/div>\n

Not everyone realizes that The Giants and The Jets practice and play their games here at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey despite being New York teams.
\nThat\u2019s why most people in North Jersey consider them honorary Jersey teams.<\/p>\n

9. \u201cIt\u2019s 3 A.M., Is There Anywhere To Eat That\u2019s Still Open?\u201d <\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Kathleen Grusenski Facebook <\/div>\n

This is the Diner Capital of the World. The better question is \u201cwhat isn\u2019t open?\u201d<\/p>\n

10. \u201cHow Can These Bagels Be So Much Better Than Everywhere Else?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Bagel Station Facebook <\/div>\n

New York City and Long Island usually battle it out over who has the best bagels. But while they\u2019re dueling it out, New Jersey is down here stuffing their faces with that actual best bagels in the world.
\nRumor has it that the secret is all in the water.<\/p>\n

11. \u201cIsn\u2019t Jersey Basically Just A Suburb Of NYC?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Visit New Jersey Facebook <\/div>\n

No, Jersey is Jersey. And Jersey gets the better view anyway.<\/p>\n

12. \u201cWhat\u2019s The Difference Between North Jersey Or South Jersey?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: edgecastcdn.net <\/div>\n

In a word? Everything. North Jersey is close to NYC, South Jersey is close to Philly. North Jersey is what you see on all the reality shows, South Jersey wishes those shows would shrivel up and die.<\/p>\n

13. \u201cWhat? You Can\u2019t Pump Your Own Gas?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: imgur <\/div>\n

Nope. And while the people in Jersey are sitting in their warm cars getting full service, you\u2019re standing in the sleet.<\/p>\n

14. \u201cWhy Are All These Cars Trailing Me In The Left Lane And Why Do They Look So Angry?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Gawker <\/div>\n

You\u2019re in Jersey. One does not simply drive the speed limit in the left lane. That lane is for passing only and if you\u2019re caught cruising it, everyone on the road will turn against you.<\/p>\n

15. \u201cDo You Go To The Beach A Lot?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Visit New Jersey Facebook <\/div>\n

Of course people in Jersey go down the shore a lot. It\u2019s what makes this place the best kept secret of the Northeast.<\/p>\n

16. \u201cWhat\u2019s A Boardwalk?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Visit New Jersey Facebook <\/div>\n

The Jersey Shore boardwalk is the best place on Earth, where childhoods are made awesome, the Tram Cars run wild, the seagulls help themselves, and you can always depend on the Fudgie Wudgie guy.<\/p>\n

17. \u201cWhat\u2019s Up With Those Jersey Shore Schmucks, Anyway?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: The Wire <\/div>\n

Everyone in Jersey has disowned the cast of The Jersey Shore. They really have very little to do with New Jersey at all.<\/p>\n

18. \u201cDo All The Girls In Jersey Have Big Hair?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: womenshair.com <\/div>\n

Are we talking big hair like 80s big hair? Then the answer is no. Or are we talking big hair like Snooki big hair? In that case, the answer is still no.<\/p>\n

19. \u201cSo I Guess You Like Bon Jovi?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Billboard <\/div>\n

Just because people in Jersey put down the Aqua Net doesn\u2019t mean they quit their love for the hometown boy.
\nHe did name an entire album after the state after all, so it\u2019s hard not to like the guy on principle.<\/p>\n

20. \u201cWhy Is Springsteen Called The Boss?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Like Totally 80s <\/div>\n

You don\u2019t have to be from Jersey to know the answer to this question. If you have to ask, then obviously your musical opinion holds no water anywhere.<\/p>\n

21. \u201cWhy Do I Have To Turn Left From The Right Hand Lane?\u201d <\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: NJ.com <\/div>\n

Jersey uses a system of jughandles around many parts of the state. Outsiders are usually perplexed, but it really is an efficient system.<\/p>\n

22. \u201cAnd What\u2019s Up With All These Roundabouts?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Rant Lifestyle <\/div>\n

There aren\u2019t nearly as many of them in New Jersey as there used to be. And they\u2019re called \u201ccircles\u201d here, not \u201croundabouts.\u201d<\/p>\n

23. \u201cWhat Is A Hard Roll And Why Did You Just Order Me One?\u201d <\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Pork Roll Facebook <\/div>\n

A breakfast pork roll, egg, and cheese on a hard roll is to Jersey residents as cookies are to Santa. You can\u2019t find a hard roll anywhere else like you can in Jersey.<\/p>\n

24. \u201cIs It Taylor Ham Or Pork Roll (And What Even Is It)?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Matt Letinski Facebook <\/div>\n

If you\u2019re from North Jersey, you probably call it Taylor Ham. If you\u2019re from South Jersey, you probably call it pork roll.
\nEither way, it\u2019s the only breakfast meat that can even come close to giving bacon a run for its money.<\/p>\n

25. \u201cWhat\u2019s Up With Hoboken Anyway?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Ryan Vaarsi via Flickr<\/div>\n

If you\u2019re from Jersey, you\u2019re used to being the brunt of jokes. But Hoboken gets the brunt of the brunt. The folks who live there are fiercely proud of their city, but everyone else tends to avoid it.<\/p>\n

26. \u201cWhat\u2019s Your Favorite Bakery?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Styretowne Facebook <\/div>\n

Asking someone from New Jersey to pick their favorite bakery is like picking a favorite kid. Bakeries are everywhere here and after you load up on fresh bagels and rolls, don\u2019t forget the crumb cake, another New Jersey specialty.<\/p>\n

27. \u201cDo You Go To Atlantic City A Lot?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Not nearly as much as you might think. Unless you\u2019re over 70.<\/p>\n

28. \u201cWhat\u2019s The Deal With Your Governor Always Yelling At People?\u201d <\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Chris Christie\u2019s supporters love him for his brutal honesty, but everyone else has no idea how he\u2019s been elected twice. After the bridge scandal and throwing his support to The Cowboys, though, his popularity has taken a pretty big hit.<\/p>\n
