==Types Of Pittsburghers==
Although all Pittsburghers are loud, alcoholics, and obnoxious, there are a different types of loud, alcoholic, obnoxious Pittsburghers. This section should help you avoid confrontation with these types and if you are confronted, what to do.
===Homeless Pittsburghers===
These homeless people are more aggressive than a puma. Not the shoe, the cat. They reside on corners and in alleyways. They are mainly found around the sports stadiums located around the city. They will be obvious in many ways, mainly by their smell, the 9 jackets that they will be wearing, and the fact that they are in your face asking for spare change.
===Scalpers===
Scalpers are the people you see outside major sporting events selling probably forged or stolen tickets. The Pittsburgher scalpers are very aggressive and will not stop until you buy a ticket or skip the middleman and give them straight heroin. To avoid these people, don't go to sporting events around Pittsburgh. If confronted by these druggies, run as fast as you can.
===Steelers Fans===
These awesome football fans love their team no matter what unless they are losing, then no one likes the team or follows it. A prime example is the old penguins, and now the pirates. These people normally happen to have Iron City on their breath and are wearing Steelers attire. The best thing to do if confronted by a group of angry Steelers fans is to yell "CLEVELAND SUCKS" as loud as you can. They will proceed to hand you an "Ihrn City" and invite you to sit with them.
