If you dropped a genuinely fancy person into Lubbock for a weekend, they’d spend the entire time clutching their pearls. I don’t think we are necessarily uncivilized here, but we do a few things that would certainly make someone scratch their head if they’d never seen it.
Here are a few totally normal West Texas habits that would send a fancy person into orbit.
1. Paper Towels For Plates
Why dirty a dish for a single slice of pizza? Nope.
2. Ranch Goes On Everything
Pizza. Chicken. Lasagna. Whatever it is, ranch goes nicely on top.
3. The “Clothes Chair” Is A Respected Family Member
Too clean for the hamper, too dirty for the closet, just right for the chair.
4. That’s Not Cool Whip
It’s spaghetti, and I’m saving it for lunch. Put it back.
5. Flip Flops 24/7
Hardware store. Grocery store. Anywhere, really.
6. Our Cars Double As Storage Units
I’ve had a hamper of laundry in the backseat for far too long.
7. Shredded Cheese Over The Sink Is A Meal
I don’t know how they do things at your house, but at mine, this is acceptable…
