There are plenty of habits that Alabamians are guilty of doing on a regular basis, and no matter how hard we try, we’ll never be able to shake them. Listed below are nine undeniable habits that most Alabamians can never unlearn. How many of them can you relate to?

- Using silly phrases on a regular basis.

- Measuring distance by time instead of mileage.

- Scheduling important events around college football.

- Believing everything tastes much better deep fried.
