      You know you are from Florida when:

      1) Your standing on one side of the street where it is sunny and you move to the other side and its pouring.
      2) Snow birds drive in the middle lane or slow lane on interstate and cut right in front of you in the fast lane then slow down.
      3) All year is Spring/Summer.
      4) You cant wait for May and September to be over because of Love bug season.
      5) Hurricane's are nothing but a good way to get out of work and cool FL down!


      No offense snow birds :)

      Maine - Mainah / Maniac

      - The letter "R" is wicked overrated. It's lobstah, not lobster.

      - We say wicked. A lot.

      - 4 inches of snow is a dusting.

      - You crave an Italian sandwich weekly.

      - You know what an Italian sandwich is.

      - You crave a whoopie pie with your Italian sandwich.

      - LL Bean isn't just a store, it's a way of life.

      - Maine has 4 seasons. Tourist, Foliage, Ski and Mud.

      - You know what a red hot dog is and you eat one.

      - Just about everyone you know has hit a deer or moose on the highway!

      While I live in PA I am an Illinois Country Boy born and raised and...

      You know that there are in fact only two seasons. Winter and Construction

      Family Vacation means Wisconsin Dells

      You know the difference between a soybean field and a cornfield upon sight

      You become irate when people pronounce the S at the end of Illinois

      You can sing the phone number to Empire Carpet from Memory

      Proper Pizza is cut in squares, there are no exceptions

      45 degrees is still t-shirt weather and you have no problems cracking the window at 30.

      When you reply in the affirmative with," ya hey aina",
      When you get a drink of water from a bubbler,
      When you're still a Cub fan no matter how many teams Milwaukee gets,
      When you're on vacation anywhere else and people know where you're from as soon as you speak.

      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 M25

      (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.

      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 :)

      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, lol

      Just to clarify, my family was being snooty but I don't think float trips are "low class" personally.
      I would love to go on one, honestly... but I don't know anyone who goes and when I am hiking near the river I see people who look like they are straight out of Deliverance or severely intoxicated & screaming. They're on float trips. I don't doubt for a moment that perfectly decent, fun people go...I wish some of my friends would start!

      Santa Cruz Ca:

      When summer doesn't actually come till august/September
      You don't even try to go to the beach on the weekends between May-July because all the stupid tourists crowd EVERYTHING!
      We don't know what real rain looks like, and people don't know how to drive in mist
      We say gnarly
      Surfing isn't an activity it's a way of life
      The 90's never left we still dress, act, speak like it's the 90's just with a mix of current culture
      The best music is from the 70s-90s

      The first time I ever went to NYC (back in the early 2000s) I was kinda scared because I had heard how mean everyone was. My experience that first time was magical! Everyone, even though brusque (hey, they're BIZZY!) was very kind to me and my ignorance. I got endless help for riding the subway, getting around on the bus, and just hanging out in the little neighborhood my hotel was in. I remember the (I think) Russian desk clerk admonishing me and my two daughters when we were asking for a "store" to pick up some snacks late one night. He was all, "Store? Why you want shop theese time night? OOOOH! You want DELI! You go deli." He was the sweetest.

      I kinda love New York and could live there in a heartbeat. There or San Francisco. **sigh**

      7. You can no longer go to your favourite pub because a celeb has decided to make it their local and tourists have flocked there for a peek.
      8. The North starts at Watford
      9. Slow walking people are the bane of your life
      10. But on a positive, you can always get a pint of milk, bread, pizza, beer within 200 yards of your front door in the middle of the night.

      Wow! You poor poor guy. Did your parents keep you locked up in the barn your whole life, or are you just so dull and simple minded that you can't be humored by only SLIGHTLY exaggerated satire?
