Have you ever done something that you believed was humiliating? We’ve all been there. Here in Alabama, it’s quite easy to be humiliated, especially if you do one of the eight things listed below.

  1. Failing to show great Southern hospitality.

  1. Planning an important event on a Saturday during football season.

  1. Believing Alabama isn’t responsible for anything that’s made a positive impact on our country.

  1. Claiming our barbecue isn’t the absolute best!

  1. Attempting to drive in the snow.

  1. Denying second helpings at family dinners.

  1. Attempting to purchase a lottery ticket.

  1. Claiming there’s nothing to see and/or do here.
