10 Things You Should Never Say Or Do In Twin Falls or Anywhere Else in Idaho

We all know that Idaho is a national treasure and that every other state looks to us as an icon for true American life and beauty. Though we do make jokes about visitors to our state, we are actually a pretty welcoming place: as long as you abide by a few rules and don't do anything dumb.

Actually, if you do something dumb, make sure you get it on camera. That usually makes things better when the world can laugh at it later.

Sometimes we'll let it slide if you pronounce Boise or Shoshone wrong, we might find it cute. That being said, here are a few things you should never say or do in Idaho, especially in Twin Falls, unless you want to be tossed out like a sack of old potatoes.

Really, we are pretty laid back in Idaho. As long as you aren't a horrible person or actively trying to mess with us, you'll be fine here.

For some reason we feel like you need a reminder of the things you shouldn't do unless you want to make enemies, but this time you don't get pictures. You have to use your fancy reading skills.

• Don't drive Blue Lakes with any license plate other than a 2T. All other vehicles will be judged as harshly as possible.
• Don't you dare waste fry sauce or French fries.
• Don't litter. If you throw your trash on our ground we will summon a bear to eat your children.
• Don't come to Twin Falls and not visit the Perrine Bridge or the Shoshone Falls. Plus there are many other places you really shouldn't miss if you visit.
• Don't tell us the air stinks. There's actually an app now that you can use to 'vent' about the stink. We'll admit that sometimes it isn't super fresh, but that's when it smells like money. Thanks, Amalgamated Sugar and Falls Brand.
• Don't ever use your blinker to signal that you want to change lanes while driving. We are very competitive and will take it as a challenge. Just kidding, you better use your blinker - or we'll run you off the road.
• Don't say there's nothing to do. That's actually only true if you're lazy and don't like leaving your house. Otherwise, we are loaded with parks, trails, fishing, and kayaking options.
• Don't forget to be kind. If you bring your negativity into our town you will be met with a thousand little rays of sunshine until your soul breaks and you let in the joy of our town and residents.
• Don't use pandemic cliché phrases like flatten the curve, the new normal, or these unprecedented times. We get that there was a pandemic, but we are over it. If you do, we will call upon our special potato powers to make you break out in horrible maskne (mask acne).
• Don't forget to listen to our radio station. The music Gods will haunt your headphones if you skip our signal. Plus you can listen anywhere on your phone with our app.
