Ohio, the state where construction is considered its own season and a cornfield can be found around every turn. Those of us who are from Ohio hate it, but will get defensive the minute anyone else tries to bash our home. We love to hate this state, and hate to love it just as much. Whether you are from Ohio, or simply curious what it’s actually like to live there, here are 20 surefire ways to understand what it’s like to be from Ohio.
1. You were born with a deep, burning hatred for all things Michigan.
2. When you hear anyone shout “O-H”, it is your absolute duty to respond with “I-O”.
3. You actually know how to play corn hole, and believe that a party isn’t a party without it.
4. You often give directions in increments of time, such as “It’s 30 minutes north of Dayton”.
