London
1. You can't breathe the air some days because it is smog, not air.
2. Your home borough is conveniently ignored because only the nice bits of London get shown to the world
3. Everything costs about £1,000,000 more than everywhere else
4. You can't understand anyone north or south of the M25
5. You spend an inordinate amount of time not moving when in the car - usually on the M250 -
(not a from one, because I've been living abroad)
You know you're living in Bahrain if:
1. The traffic on the highway has come to a complete halt, and you don't know if it's because of a) civil unrest (possibly including the highway being firebombed), b) the police stopping all the traffic to try and find people that have been causing the civil unrest, c) an accident or d) everyone slowing down to rubberneck an accident or civil unrest going on on the other carriageway.
2. You know that you can usually smell teargas before it starts burning your eyes, nose and throat, and when you smell it you just roll your eyes say "not again!" and go indoors or if you're driving wind up your windows really quickly.
3. You've driven through fire on the roads, because civil unrest
4. You can tell when Saudi Arabia has a national holiday because the roads are suddenly full of people who can't drive and have really crazy ideas about parking, i.e. Saudis over to visit Bahrain
5. You're pretty sure that the local cinemas would go bankrupt if Saudi Arabia legalised cinemas.... because of the large numbers of Saudis who come to Bahrain to watch movies.
6. Every time you step outside your front door, it's like a free sauna and steam room. Except that you have to actually go out and do stuff in all that heat and humidity as opposed to just sit and relax
7. You step out of your car and your glasses instantly steam up, because your glasses are cold from your car's a.c. and it's ridiculously hot and humid outside the car
8. The entire outside of your car has steamed up before
9. You realise that the saying/song "only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun" lied to you, because Bahrainis go out in the midday sun, and English people just can't because it's too freaking hot and humid
10. You have been more than an hour late to some places, due to the police stopping traffic to find the people causing civil unrest
11. You love living in Bahrain anyway, in spite of all of the above things because Bahraini people are great and it's still a better place to live than Saudi Arabia and you understand why so many Saudis come to Bahrain at every opportunity.0 -
New York City
1. In any conversation with someone about New York, you delineate between "The City" and the rest of New York State
2. "The City" (when you live in the city) means Manhattan, even though the five boroughs are "the city"
3. You know that anyone approaching you smiling, nodding, or extending their hand to shake yours is likely trying to sell you something, get you to sign a petition, or want you to buy a candy bar "Not for no basketball team or club, but to have a few dollars in my pocket."
4. You have to explain to non-New Yorkers that everyone in New York does not sound like the cast of Saturday Night Fever
5. You protect your unlimited metrocard as if it holds the secrets to the universe
6. After spending your life being accosted and hustled, you're ruined for genuine kindness from anywhere else in the world.
7. You wonder why everyone things New Yorkers are mean. Aloof maybe, desensitized, likely... but not mean 0 -
Put where you are from and things that are pretty commom or known about where you live or the general area
I'm a midwest girl, pretty much have been my entire life . Currently in Missouri but grew up in Iowa.
1.There's a tornado warning and the whole town is outside watching for it.
2.Everyone in your family has been on a "Float trip."
3.Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor on the highway.
4.You know what's knee-high by the Fourth of July. (It's corn btw, lol)
5.You know if another Missourian is from eastern, middle or western Missouri as soon as they open their mouth.
1. I can relate to. Unfortunately. Living in tornado alley can be rough.
Honestly I have no clue about the rest. Never been on a float trip, my family considered that very low class and I think just 1 of my friends has been on one. I haven't lived in a rural area with cars waiting to pass a tractor and have never heard of that knee-high by the Fourth of July thing. I also can't identify accents within Missouri at all, except maybe "old Italian lady from St Louis proper", and everyone says I sound like I'm from Michigan or New York - I have lived in the southwest corner of Missouri since I was born. LOL
I'd say you know you're from Missouri when you have eaten a Frito Pie (I guess that's a Texas thing though?), can name all of the rides at Silver Dollar City, and know what city "the Plaza" is in for viewing Christmas lights or taking a carriage ride.
that's too bad about the float trips, some of the most fun I've ever had ^_^ never had a frito pie, lol0
