I LOVE New Jersey! We are a unique group of individuals! We are hard working, loyal, dedicated, and full of heart! We stand up for ourselves and don't take sh*t from anyone! We are the backbone of America not the armpit of America!!! Jersey is one of the wealthiest states in the country filled with industry, the best schools, and the birth places of hundreds of celebrities, musicians, and politicians! People only talk sh*t because they either want us or want to be us!

You can always tell when someone is from Jersey! Below is a list of ways to tell if you are a true New Jerseyan!!

Ways to Tell You Are from New Jersey

1.You went to Seaside after your Senior Prom.
2.At least half of the people you went to high school with went to Rutgers.
3.You know where Jimmy Hoffa is buried.
4.You know that the only people who call it "Joisey" are from NY.
5.You've planned a local trip around passing at least one Dunkin Donuts.

13.You always use at least 10 variations of "damn" while driving.
14.You don't have to go to Red Lobster to get fresh seafood.
15.You once said "It smells like New York in here."
16.The Garden State Parkway does not freak you out at night.
17.You know what a "jug handle" is.
18.You've eaten a porkroll, egg & cheese on a hard roll -- and loved it.
19.You go to the boardwalk at least once a year.
20.You say the words "water", "coffee", "dog" and "whatever", like this "wadder", "cawfee", "dowg" and "wadever".
21.Even your high school cafeteria made good subs or pizza.
22.You can't believe that MTV went to Seaside Heights.
23.You know that ACME is an actual store, not just a Warner Bros. creation.
24.You're Italian.
25.You know where to get a great bagel.
26.You think Perkins is terrible and should have never opened any restaurants here.
27.There are no self-serve gas stations -- and you like it that way.
28.You have had sex on the beach (not the drink).
29.You know how to successfully handle a traffic circle.
30.The Jet/Giants game has started fights at your local bar.
31.You can't understand why there aren't any 24 hour diners in the rest of the country.
32.You live within 45 minutes of at least 3 different malls.
33.You have, or know someone who has, Mafia connections.
34.You're related to someone who think the NY Jets should be the New Jersey Jets.

39.You've played in a P.A.L. league.
40.You remember Action Park and may have been seriously injured there.
41.Z-100 used to be your favorite, now it's K-Rock.
42.Anything less than 3 inches of snow isn't worth your time.
43.Someone on the road cut you off and you used at least four swear words and a few hand gestures to tell them what you thought.
44."Been there . . . been there . . . drove past that . . . shopped there once" -- your response to the opening credits of The Sopranos.
45.There is no beach, just "the shore".
46.You can toss 35 cents out of your driver's side window into a funnel of 12" diameter at 55 mph.
47.You are a safe driver in New Jersey, but deadly elsewhere.
48.You think the New Jersey state bird is the third finger on everyone's hand.
49.You know that two wrongs don't make a right, but 3 rights do make a left.
50.New Jersey: the only place where people make radio requests like, "This is for Maria, I'm sorry i stabbed you!"

And last but not least,

51.You don't take no crap from no one.

5. Now I understand my preoccupation with Dunkin Donuts...

I was born in Newark and grew up in Essex County (various town/cities) and relocated to Tampa as an adult. Any time I am traveling anywhere, I have to know where the Dunkin Donuts are en route. Not for the donuts, but for that fantastic coffee!!

Boston is home of Dunkin Donuts, we have one on every corner basically.  My town alone has about 6 of them.  I LOVE my dunkin donuts coffee, it's sooo good.  I also buy the bags of coffee at Dunks and have a cup (or 4) every morning, yum! 

When Adam Sandler was on Saturday Night Live, he did a skit about giving directions in a city near Boston and kept saying, take a left at the dunkin donuts, go down 2 blocks and take a right at dunks, etc..
