Because I couldn't resist...
1. Go to Google and type, "You know you're from (your city or state) when...." (hit "I'm feeling lucky")
2. Cut and paste the list.
3. Bold the items that apply to you.
Khakis are something you start the car with
You think crosswalks are for wimps
You think if someone's nice to you, they either want something or they are from out of town and probably lost
You know how to cross 4 lanes of traffic in 5 seconds
You are amazed when traveling out of town that people who work at McDonald's actually speak English
You think it's not actually tailgating unless your bumper is touching the car in front of you
You know that a yellow light means at least 5 more cars can get through ... and that a red light means 2 more can
You know what they sell at a "packie"
You've pulled out of a side street and used your car to block oncoming traffic so you can make a left
You use the words "wicked" and "good" in the same sentence
You went to Old Sturbridge Village and Plymouth Plantation at least once, in elementary school, but never to Bunker Hill
You know the Mass Pike and 495 create some sort of strange weather dividing line
A Crown Victoria = Undercover Cop
The transportation system is known as the "T"
Subway is a fast food place
You could own a small town in Iowa for the cost of your house
There are 24 Dunkin Donuts shops within 15 minutes of your house
When people talk about the "curse of the Bambino," you know exactly what they are talking about, and you believe in it, too
You think of Rhode Island as the "deep South"
Anything past Worcester is "the middle of nowhere"
You believe using a turn signal gives away your plan to the enemy
If you stay on the same road long enough, it will eventually have 3 or more different names
Someone has honked at you because you didn't peel out the second the light turned green
You've honked at someone because they didn't peel out the second the light turned green
All the potholes just add excitement to your driving experience
Stop signs mean slow down a little, but only if you feel like it
Six inches of snow is considered a "dusting"
Three days of 90+ heat is definitely a "heat wave" ... and 63° weather is "on the warm side"
$15 to park is a bargain
You cringe every time you hear some actor/actress imitate the "Boston accent" on TV or in a movie. If you don't have it, you're never going to get it right ... even if you were born here.
At the ice cream shop, you call chocolate sprinkles "Jimmies"
You can go from one side of your hometown to the other in less than 15 minutes and see at least 15 losers you graduated with doing the same exact same thing they were doing the last time you saw them
