A Vermont'er is typically undeniably rude. Aloof to a fault, their family dates back at least twelve generations in their precious state. Generally speaking, this person will tell you exactly what they think of you while not making eye contact. Of course, all of this will be unsolicited, and will render you to a state of confusion until the next insult arrives (likely to be soon thereafter). While you are having an out of body experience wondering why the hell you moved to Vermont, the Vermont'er will be smiling in your face at inappropriate times and collaborating with their native born cronies. As a native born jerk, he or she will be sporting expensive clothes and shoes and shopping at over-priced food stores even though they make $12 per hour and finance a Prius. Still, they will be able to out compete in the job market because they are likely to be someone's brother, sister, wife, daughter, etc. A Vermont'er is a lot of things, but friendly, sociable, respectful and worldly do not have a share in these 'things.'
My Vermonter coworker still does not look me in the eyes or greet me--hell, he does not even know my name after three years!
I sure wish I was a Vermonter so that my coworkers would stop locking me inside the closet during my lunch break.

Im a native Vermonter from the booming metropolis of Burlington. The magority of my graduating class are in jail, as there is no work to speak of, and if there was, the taxes are so high, the cost of living so rediculous that survival would still be beyond they're reach. I am a welder and have worked all over the country. I've met nice people everywhere except here in podunk, liberal, socialist, anus loving police state...I'm leaving this god forsaken place...and this time I intend to stay gone. VERMONT IS DEAD...Bury it!
vermont is hell on earth

It seems that 99% of the definitions written on this page were written by people who never lived here, or where so stoned they forgot where they were. Just to clarify a few things:
- Does not have more cows than people.. It's not even close IDK why anyone thinks this.
- There are almost no Ben and Jerry's left in the State. They are all moving out b/c there isn't a good market here and they got bought out.
- People are generally nice. There are dicks too just like in any state.
- All the "wanna-be gangsters" (there are like 7 total) live on one street in Winooski. So the odds of seeing those people is .00001%
- The weather is actually not that cold. It gets FREEZING for like a month, but most of the time it hovers nicely between 60 and 90. There are two weeks in July that often go above 90. Imagine a temp difference of over 100 degrees, that's what it's like.
-Someone said crime is rampant. You might think that if you're coming from...... I don't know the Maldives. I sleep with my doors open.
- Cheese, maple syrup, beef, beer, and music are as good as advertised.
- It's extremely rural, but the state is so small that it's never a long drive to Burlington, NY, Boston, Montreal etc.
- People say everyone are hicks. Oh, except the fact that we have UVM, Champlain College, and Middlebury, three very good schools.
- People say everyone is a liberal. That's SO not true. In any part other than Chittenden, Washington, or Rutland County, it's like a 50-50 split.

Guy from Vermont: Hey you want to drive up and spend the weekend on my couch? We just got 2' of snow!
Friend from New Jersey: Dude Vermont sucks, there's nothing to do and everyone is a dickhead.
Guy from Vermont: Uh, okay. *hangs up phone*

Definitely not like how the other people have said. I live in VT and honestly it's boring. The people are all fairly annoying and the same.(no offense, just my opinion)The Winters are hell on earth. The only VT music act i've seen live or heard of is Phish. Smart people are hard to come by, most of Rutlands IQ is below the average December temperature. Oh, and Goshen has some of THE WEIRDEST people you will EVER meet.
Tony and Sewie Story as told by my cousin. True too.
Tony and Sewie were off to steal wadiator at the goshen dump right???
Tony: Sewie! wait here and watch for cops while *mumbleImumble* steal wadiator!
Sewie waits and waits and waits and waits. Cop comes up.
Cop:What are you doing here Sewie???
Sewie: I watch for cops while Tony Steal Watioaor!
Well, that's vermont for ya!

Also known as YUPPIE LAND. The "Vermont anomaly" is a case in which people convince themselves that a higher cost of living provides a greater quality of life. Those who work 1.5- 2 jobs just to keep up with the Jones' are subject to this anomaly. With Saabs and Volvos in the driveway one feels above the rest of society paying $300k for a home and land only worth about $100k. The real Vermonters consider these folks transplants as more than 95% of them are and contest that they are "Vermonters". Crime rate is rampant even "friends" in Vermont will try to make a buck off of you, and the schools aren't any better than anywhere else. And for open minded peace loving people they are are Dicks and are quite judgmental wondering why no others wouldn't want to move to Vermont. Well the reason is because of people aka douche bags, like yourselves. So when you are complaining of not having time or money or you're too tired ask yourself if your quality of life really is better. All Vermont really is is an overlandscaped New Jersey. How do ya like that?

Cloudy weather 364 days per year
Summer lasts from July 1 to July 14
State Animal is the Carpenter Ant
State Bird is the Mosquito
A whole state where nobody thinks, they just 'feel that....'
Food stamps and government programs are a way of life
Taxes through the roof, pay levels through the floor
If you weren't born there they hate you and make it no secret
The only state that is actually an Eastern European country
Thinks 'the eyes of the world are on them'.
Total state population less than that of many cities.
Women more masculine than some of the men.
Look what it did to Howard Dean. "YAAAAAAAAAGGGHHH!"

Disregard the cutesy stuff (maple syrup, skiing, cheese, ice cream). Vermont is a state comprised of 50% trust funders (wannabe hippies, skiers, political activists from New York state) and 50% hillbillies that serve the trust funders' every whim. Vermont sucks slightly less than New Hampshire in that it is not totally bereft of cultural diversity. Vermont is a great place to live if you are wealthy and can winter somewhere else (well except for driving up from Westchester county to stay at your condo for some skiing on occasion).
Like, dude, I had to spend $8000 to keep my 1979 Volvo 240DL running. That was almost a tenth of my entire monthly trust fund check. I thought that I might have to cut back on my weed consumption but Dad paid for it. I only had to renew my promise never to return to Pound Ridge from Vermont.
