Eh.... a lot of people in western states think we are an island.
Source: was truck driver. A lot of people wonder how I got home for leave time whether it was by boat or air....

Start a petition to change the entire state name to Providence Plantations. It will solve that problem, at least...

I worked for a company in Rhode Island that sold products all over the United States and at least twice a week I talked to people who didn’t know we aren’t an island or thought we were part of NY.

I live in MA. Where exactly is this Island you are speaking of? I would like to visit it for a vacation.

Plantation has lots of negatives... How about we call it "The Void" between MA and CT.

This happened last year. They said it was out of their hands and blamed their logistics company. I had it shipped to Massachusetts

"It's where the Providence Plantations used to be"

Prudence, Patience, Rabbit, Fox, Block, Goat and Rhode Island aka Aquidneck Island etc.

People in and from areas like the southwest that have never left it always respond, “Oh, New York” when I tell them I’m from RI. Happens so much that now I just reply, “Yeah.”

Instructions unclear, saw "plantations used to be" and shipped south of Mason-Dixon.

I say we change the entire state name to Aquidneck.
Just to muddy the waters some more

Nationalism is gross

It must be too expensive to ship to RI due to shipping cost and needing enough buyers to justify shipping in the first place.
All of this is making me laugh my ass off though

One time, I was at a music festival in Arkansas, and I was talking to this kid, and he asked where I was from. I told him Rhode Island. He said... how the hell did you get your van here? A ferry? I cracked out my map so quickly to show him where RI is. He was shocked that it was indeed attached to the mainland. Ah man, I laughed so hard. Good times.

By all means, go try Communism 👍

No. Thinking your country is the best is gross. We live in a global society and economy. You can't escape that no matter what delusional world you live in.

I don’t know how I landed in this sub and this post, but this is hilarious. I’ve seen another post from Anker not shipping to RI because they think it’s an island. Shout out to all the RI peeps from VA, y’all have hilarious issues.

I helped out at a school in California for a day. The TEACHER thought Rhode Island was part of New York 🤦🏻♀️

That is not it at all, have you been living under a rock?

Once had a guy that KNEW Rhode Island was a state but didn't believe me when I said it was on the ocean nor that it's called the ocean state and told me to look at a map to prove me wrong. Apparently telling them I live in the state wasn't good enough to use as proof that he was wrong.
To this day, I don't know where he thought RI was.
