Why Do Wyoming Drivers Hate Colorado Drivers So Much?
For the time I’ve lived in Wyoming (I am in my third 12 months right here), I’ve by no means been capable of perceive the Wyoming/Colorado riff. I’ve lived in a number of different states in cities that relaxation on the border of different states, however I’ve by no means skilled that very same border pressure between two states. Perhaps it is simply the truth that there’s the Wyoming vs. Colorado State Border Warfare yearly. Name me extraordinarily naive, however I do not get it. However a giant a part of it positively exists once I hear Wyoming drivers discuss Colorado drivers. This appears to strike a nerve with various folks I do know.
I can keep in mind one in every of my first experiences of residing within the Cowboy State once I first moved right here was overhearing a dialog when somebody mentioned one thing not so good a few ‘greenie’. On the time, I had no thought what a greenie was, nor did I care to know actually. Then the subsequent week, I overheard another person say one thing related. Evidently it has to do with the colour of the Colorado license plates. Granted, they are not precisely essentially the most artistic wanting plates. However as somebody who is not from Wyoming, I mentioned, “They’re from Colorado. What is the large deal?”
They shortly snapped again, “WHAT ARE THEY DOING HERE?”…Honest sufficient.
Since then, I’ve accomplished my finest to know that there’s just a few unstated pressure between each states that I will assume stems from being rivals within the Mountain West Convention. Perhaps there’s inner-political feuds. I am not touching that topic.
In any occasion, there’s positively a sure component of pressure within the air once we (Wyoming drivers) see a Colorado driver on the highway. Somebody on TikTok determined to clarify that in rather a lot much less phrases than I might ever do…
That just about explains it. It is only a identified unexplained rule. That additionally occurred to point out up on an inventory of issues in our current ’23 Issues That Are Simply So Wyoming.’ We’ll simply maintain going with the truth that Wyoming drivers will proceed to not look after Colorado drivers. Or anybody else in Colorado for that matter.
Both means, take pleasure in your weekend, and attempt to be good whilst you’re out on the highway, even to these ‘greenies’!
