More Argie living...

In case you missed them in the "comments" section...

You assume the police won't help, they are just there for decoration, or for giving directions.

You can identify the supermarket smell.

You´ve had a Guia T for months but still can't figure out how to use it.

You can name 15 different Arg. rock bands but the only thing you know about tango music is Carlos Gardel.

You get super pissed when someone automatically responds in english or converts prices to dollars for you.

You get change from the cab driver, even if it's only 15 centavos.

You still can't understand how the grocery stores close at 10 but people don't eat dinner til 11...

You think nothing of walking home alone at 2 in the morning, because the streets are still crowded.

You just accept paying for water, bread and untensils, and know what I mean when I call the napkins "crapkins."

You, too, now consider wearing a seatbelt bad luck.

You see an opening 3 feet wide and think "this cab can fit through there!"

If you don't know something or want to say "whatever," you made the gesture with your hands going out from your chin, rather than using words.

You mix in spanish phrases when speaking in english because you can't think of the words. "I really just don't have ganas to go."

You have puchased something on the subte, namely hair accessories, sewing kits, stickers or jewelry.

Ham is (not) a vegetable.

Pizza comes with one topping at a time, most comonly- mozarella with 4 green olives, pits included.

You have read the Buenos Aires Herald and asked yourself "Are there any native english speakers on this staff?"

You've tried fernet and coke.

You have very nearly missed, if not stepped directly in, a big pile of dog shit.

You know what a squirt brick is.

You have seen a convertible roof.

You wonder why no one has screens on their windows, when there are mosquitoes and bugs everywhere!

You are totally ok with the elevators ending up between 1 and 6 inches from the floor you are getting off on. And the jerkier the ride, the better.

You expect the motorcycle helmet to be slung over the elbow, not on the head!

You bring sunglasses when you go out at night because you know you won't be home til morning.

Sundays are for asado, ferias, sleeping in and hangovers.
