Everybody has their breaking point. It's all about knowing when you've reached said breaking point so you can back down and de-escalate the situation. Or, it can be good to know their breaking point so you can exploit it.

Here in Idaho, we are guilty of letting certain things ruffle our feathers and grind our gears. We can help it, somethings just get to us and bother us to our core. It's good to know what those things are so you don't end up triggering an Idahoan with something you say. Or, again, it may be good to know so you can intentionally mess with them.

Brace yourself. This is list is not intended to trigger. Just point out the triggers. If you're ready, let's proceed with caution. Probably best to have your stress ball in hand.
