TEN DEAD GIVE-AWAYS THAT YOU'RE AMERICAN



1) First of all, there's something about your appearance, or your aura that must scream "American!" People just STARE at you, though you don't see them staring at each other.
2) The minute you open your mouth, if they didn't sense it before, they know it immediately.
3) Getting in the wrong side of the car when you are the one that is driving. Especially when you've only clicked the unlock once (not twice) and you can't believe it's not open, so you keep pulling on the door handle. This is such a dead give-away and I am continually doing this.
4) Paying for your groceries with your Delta American Express card. I've just GOT to get my Bank of Ireland check card!
5) If you have several of the following in your grocery cart: Doritos, salsa, tortillas, taco shells, or any Old El Paso product, cake mix and canned frosting, Bounce sheets...
6) Driving too close to the white lines on the left of your lane. My husband does this constantly. He even runs over the little marker things and then you can hear the tires go over them. Of course I never do this. :0)
7) Stopping at a roundabout when there is no one coming. If you do this and there is a car behind you, they will honk at you.
8) Carrying "green" grocery bags that say "Albertson's" on them.
9) Not looking to the right, and behind you when you go to cross the street. Even some sidewalks have signs that say this, or it is painted on the cement. Remember: Cars are coming from the opposite direction. In Dublin, almost every sidewalk has a sign.
10) Knocking Obama
