7 Things Philadelphians Love To Hate

1. Bad rolls

If it isn’t Amoroso’s or Sarcone’s, we’ll make a big deal about the roll. YES, we can tell the difference!

2.The PPA

The bane of many Philadelphians existence. They find you even when you leave your car for just a second. And it is impossible to talk your way out of a ticket.

3. People who take the parking spot you shoveled during a snowstorm.

There are technically no savesies any longer in the city, but there are still many unwritten rules in Philly neighborhoods. If you steal the spot that one of us spent an hour shoveling you might just get your mirrors knocked off and your tires slashed. You’ve been warned.

4. When Philadelphians hear people order a “Philly Cheesesteak.”

It’s just a cheesesteak here, idiot.

5. Pat’s and Geno’s

I have two words to describe them: tourist traps. It’s Max’s or Dalessandro’s or nothing.

6. The Schuylkill Expressway

Enough said!

7. Dallas Cowboys Fans

The rivalry runs deep. If you’re a Cowboys fan in Philly, at best, you’ll get verbally harassed. At worst, you’ll get beat up and get beers poured all over you while the rest of us cheer.
