Have you ever tried annoying a Nashvillian…? It’s pretty hard, because most folks in Music City are extremely kind. It’s the south, after all. Still, these ten quick and easy ways to get on a Nashvillian’s nerves are pretty classic. Have you ever driven in the city? Tried to eat at the Pancake Pantry? Been mistaken for a musician? Then you’re definitely going to get it – Nashville has it’s own annoying tics, and these ten things may just zero in on ’em.
- All the potholes on 440.
Andrew Skudder - Flickr For the sake of our tire alignment - can we get these fixed?!
- We really hope you don’t think this city is ONLY country music.
The Nashville Chamber of Commerce - Flickr All sorts of music is recorded in the city, and although we love our country, it doesn’t serve as a boundary.
- Don’t get all snooty about our biscuits.
Neil Conway - Flickr We have Biscuit Love and the Loveless Cafe, so we kind of know how to make a southern biscuit. So don’t try to compete, folks.
- Please learn to use a yield sign, folks.
John Morrison - Flickr It’s terrifying when you use it wrong, and is making Nashville scary. This is annoying. Annoyingly scary.
- Because our traffic is heinous.
Bradley Hutctemon - Flickr And not using a yield sign correctly makes it worse. As does botching an unprotected left and a roundabout.
- If you’re wearing cowboy boots…
Alaina McDonald - Flickr …we know you’re not from here. Especially if you’re walking around downtown.
- Speaking of downtown: are you singing Broadway’s praises?
Darren Stone - Flickr We like it, sure, but that’s a tourist trap if we ever saw one.
- Yes, we KNOW - you’re a musician.
Thomas Hawk - Flickr Get in line.
- Those lines for mural photos. WHY.
Thomas Hawk - Flickr It’s wildly annoying and all we’re trying to do is walk through the Gulch. Our lunch break is short, so move that line!
- The line at Pancake Pantry…
Charlene Trapp - Flickr But does anyone like that thing? Maybe ask the tourists who have been there for hours…locals go early!
Continue to explore our great Tennessee by trying this absolutely ridiculous burger – it’s truly insane.
