It’s no secret that Oregon is an awesome place to live. Between the breathtaking scenery and the great people that reside here, there are plenty of reasons to love this state. However, if you’ve been living in Oregon for a while, there are bound to be a few things that you just can’t stand. Here are some of the things that Oregonians hate about the Beaver State:
- Crowds

- People who move here
Flickr/garann Sorry, we’re full.
- When people think Portland is the center of the universe
Wikimedia/Steve Morgan Portland is a great city. But it has 15% of the population and gets about 95% of the attention.
- Dress codes
Flickr/Kent Wang We like to keep it casual here.
- When people pronounce it “OR-A-GONE”
Flickr/OregonDOT For the record, it’s “OR-UH-GUN.”
- Umbrellas
Flickr/Faruk Ateş Mere mortals may carry umbrellas but we’re not afraid of a few raindrops.
- Traffic
Flickr/David Wilson Rush hour now lasts eight hours a day.
- When the temperature goes over 80 degrees
Flickr/Harry Li Most of us prefer rain to the heat.
- And when the temperature goes below 30 degrees
Wikimedia/Oregon Department of Transportation Most of us also prefer rain to icy roads.
- Litter
Flickr/Jason Karn Oregon has always been a place where you can swim in the ocean without a plastic bag washing up next to you. We want to keep it this way.
- People who hate Oregon
Flickr/Forest Service Because simply, there’s no other place like it.
