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\u2019t really matter. It\u2019s all up to those pesky elk.<\/p>\n

2. And They Have Even Less Time For Grizzly Bears<\/h2>\n

Montanans may be fearless individuals, but that doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re stupid. Grizzly bears are not to be messed with. Ever.<\/p>\n

3. Beef Burgers? Waste Of Time.<\/h2>\n

\nWho in their right mind would have a beef burger when you could have a bison burger instead?<\/p>\n

4. People In Montana Have Zero Time For Shaving<\/h2>\n

Montanans love having long beards and will not make the time to shave them. It keeps Montanans warm in winter, it\u2019s practical, and it looks darn good.<\/p>\n

5. Montana Won\u2019t Give Vegetarians The Time Of Day<\/h2>\n

Being a vegetarian in Montana<\/a> is kind of impossible. No one\u2019s really going to give you the time of day if all you ask for is a salad after they\u2019ve prepared you veal and bison.<\/p>\n

6. So, Naturally, If You Can\u2019t Catch\/Hunt Your Own Dinner, You\u2019re Probably Wasting A Montanan\u2019s Time<\/h2>\n

Hunting is a BIG deal in Montana. If you\u2019re not willing to catch your own fish or hunt for your own meat, chances are Montanans won\u2019t give you the time of day.<\/p>\n

7. Beer That\u2019s Not Craft Beer? What Even Is That?<\/h2>\n

Why waste time on Coors when you could be sipping a crisp cold one from Big Sky Brewing Company?<\/p>\n

8. People In Montana Don\u2019t Have Time For Dressing Up<\/h2>\n

In Montana, formal = cowboy boots, jeans, and maybe a cowboy hat. Anything more than that and you\u2019re definitely overdressed.<\/p>\n

9. Montanans Have No Time For Tourists<\/h2>\n

Montana is friggin\u2019 beautiful, which is why tourists flock here in herds. But that doesn\u2019t mean Montanans like having their small towns, roads, and national parks overrun.<\/p>\n

10. And Even Less Time For Coloradans<\/h2>\n

While all tourists are aggravating, the second a Montanan sees that green license plate they know they\u2019re in for trouble. Coloradans and Montanans are like night and day. Chances are they\u2019re not gonna make much time for each other\u2026<\/p>\n

11. Rodeos Outside Of Montana Are Definitely A Waste Of Time<\/h2>\n

No matter how many times you go to a rodeo outside of Montana, you\u2019ll continue to be disappointed. It\u2019s a waste of time if it\u2019s not a Montana rodeo.<\/p>\n

12. If You Don\u2019t Have Time For A Road Trip, Montanans Don\u2019t Have Time For You<\/h2>\n

\"An<\/p>\n

Everywhere you drive in Montana turns into a road trip. Towns and cities aren\u2019t exactly nearby one another, so if you\u2019re in Montana you\u2019ll need to be prepared for a long drive at anytime.<\/p>\n

13. Just Know That Montanans Don\u2019t Have Time For Speed Limits Either<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

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\u2019t make much time for speed limits or slow pokes.<\/p>\n

14.But Who Has Time To Drive A Car Anyway When You Could Just Ride Your Horse?<\/h2>\n

While the stereotype isn\u2019t true that all Montanans exclusively ride horses, many do. So don\u2019t be surprised if a Montanan doesn\u2019t make much time to drive in the car with you if they\u2019ve got their horse.<\/p>\n

15. Montanans Aren\u2019t About Wasting Time On Stress<\/h2>\n

Hot spring AKA Mother Nature jacuzzi, anyone?<\/p>\n

16. Montanans Have Zero Time For People Who Complain About The Cold<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s just a fact that Montana is COLD in the winter. You\u2019re gonna get a ton of snow and ice, so what\u2019s the point of complaining? Just grab some snowshoes or skis and enjoy.<\/p>\n

17. And There Is No Time For People Who Are Lazy<\/h2>\n

Montanans pride themselves on their strong work ethic, so if you\u2019re a lazy couch potato then Montana probably isn\u2019t the place for you.<\/p>\n

18. Montanans Have No Time For Gender Stereotypes<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

In Montana, girls are raised to be just as tough, strong, free, and wild as boys. So if you\u2019re gonna stereotype, a woman or girl might just kick you where the sun don\u2019t shine with her cowgirl boots.<\/p>\n

19. You Better Be Up For Exploring If You Want A Montanan to Make Time For You<\/h2>\n

\"<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re gonna live near a place like Glacier National Park, you\u2019ve gotta be up for anything when it comes to exploring and adventuring. So, naturally, if you\u2019re not down to climb in the mountains, you\u2019re not gonna be on a Montanan\u2019s good side.<\/p>\n

20. Crazy Nightlife = Waste Of Time<\/h2>\n

Why waste time with fancy, expensive night clubs when you can just lay out and look at the stars? Montanans just don\u2019t make time for stilettos and miniskirts at night when they could be camping out under a meteor shower\u2026.<\/p>\n

21. If You\u2019re Not Into The Small Town Vibe, Montanans Probably Won\u2019t Make Time For You<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Source: Facebook user Montana<\/div>\n

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\u2019re not \u201cinto that\u201d then Montanans are probably not going to make time for you.<\/p>\n

22. So You Better Be All About Community, Or Else Montanans Won\u2019t Have Time For You<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Source: Visit Montana Facebook<\/div>\n

Because there are so many small towns and cities, Montana is definitely all about communities and neighborliness. You\u2019ve got your neighbors\u2019 backs and they\u2019ve got yours.<\/p>\n

23. Montanans Don\u2019t Have Time For Big Spenders<\/h2>\n

\"People<\/p>\n

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?<\/p>\n

24. If You Don\u2019t Have Tough Skin, Montanans Aren\u2019t Gonna Make Time For You<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Source: Facebook user Montana<\/div>\n

Montana is a rugged place to live so, naturally, the people here know how to be tough. You\u2019ve gotta be ready to climb mountains, camp out in the wild, and hunt or catch your own meal.<\/p>\n

25. There Is Zero Time For Haters In Montana<\/h2>\n

\"People<\/p>\n
