If you've lived in Iowa for more than five minutes, you've very likely heard the term "Iowa Nice". It's a simple, Midwestern type of patience and kindness. You see someone who needs assistance, you help 'em. But that doesn't mean Iowans are impervious to anger and frustration. There's a number of common Iowa stereotypes that, if repeated to an Iowan, could get you socked in the noggin. Or, you'll get some good old fashion, Iowa passive agressiveness! Ope! That's always fun, too.

I was inspired to make this list when I saw Matt Ryan a sister station of ours in New Jersey talk about his frustration for stereotypes from his neck of the woods. Matt does point out that every community has its flaws, and that there will be certain things we may like here that others do not elsewhere.

Take a look at the list below and see if there are any more that you feel need to be added. While you're at it, gauge your level of anger when you hear or read any of these stereotypes.

Ready for some rage? Let's jump right in:
