Everyday Etiquette Tips For Western New Yorkers

Don't Hog All The Flats or Drumsticks - We all have our favorite type of wing, but if you are in a group setting, don't be that person who only eats one type. Make sure you leave some for everyone else.

Let People Merge On The Highways - We have some of the worst on/off ramps I have ever seen in America. Coming off Millersport to the 290 if maybe the worst one. So if you are on the 33, the 290, the 190, and you see a car trying to merge, please let them.

Say Go Bills - This is an unofficial goodbye in Western New York. If someone says "Go Bills" to you as they leave, you'd better say it right back.

Help Clear Your Neighbors' Snow - We deal in feet, not inches, of snow in Western New York, and if you are able to help shovel or snowblow your neighbor's sidewalk or driveway, you should.
