The State Fair has been unleashed: Twelve days of delectable fried foods, adorable baby farm animals and long-standing family traditions. Or, if you look at it another way, it's nearly two weeks of traffic, sweaty crowds, people chugging milk and strangers parked on your front lawn.

The State Fair may be the great Minnesota get-together, but some people just want to get away from it.

Consider this your outlet, fair haters. We know you're out there. As the news and every social media feed fills with stories and selfies from the fairgrounds, tell us what you don't love about the fair.

Did you get lost in the crowds as a kid? Dumped by your girlfriend on the SkyRide? Spit on by a llama? Let's hear it.
