20 Signs You’re From Monmouth County New Jersey

Yes, for those of you who were wondering Central Jersey DOES exist! I live there. So here are 20 signs you’re from Monmouth County New Jersey.

1. It’s Pork roll

Not Taylor Ham,if you call it Taylor Ham we will assume you are from Connecticut or worse..New York.

2. You Don’t Pump Your Own Gas

Most of us don’t know how to.

3. We Love to Binge Watch the Housewives

Because who doesn’t want to see Theresa flip a table?

4. New York City

…is referred to as the “city” not NYC or Big Apple.

5. WAWA

…is the best place to go for coffee,candy,the options are limitless.

6. Central Jersey

There is a constant debate if Central Jersey even exists as someone who lives in Monmouth County we aren’t North or South we are Central.

7. It’s Great Adventure

Not Six Flags.

8. It’s Not the Shore it’s the Beach

If you say the shore you are most likely a Benny.

9. No We Are Not ALL Like the Jersey Shore Cast

Yes we are all happy it got cancelled,not everyone who lives in the garden state is like that.

10. Left Turns Don’t Exist in New Jersey

We have jug handles because going in circles is more fun anyways.

11. Also Right Turns on Red are Legal in New Jersey

Can’t explain my frustration stopped in the right lane when it’s a red light because a New Yorker is in front of me.  

12. The State Bird

…is the middle finger (not really) we aren’t afraid to use one or both especially when dealing with dumb drivers.

13. Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi

Your parents will most likely have a CD or five of Springsteen and Bon Jovi.

14. Fetty Wap and Charlie Puth

Every time one of their songs come on, the typical response will be “Did you know they’re from New Jersey?”
