You know you're from (insert place here) when...your fave?

[Anderson'sAllPurpose]

Oh hey, a fellow Swede. Let's take over this thread woohooo!!
For those of you who have always wondered, here are a few more ways to know you're Swedish:

Any holiday is an excuse to get drunk. So is Saturday. And Friday. And Wednesday.

<snip>

Any conversation inevitably turns to the weather.

These two work very well for the British, too

That and queuing, I think? (Possibly all three at once!)

You know you're Swedish when:

- "Now now, let's not be that way."
- people thank you when you thank them
- you call your teacher/professor by their pet name

One of my high school teachers introduced herself with her nickname on our first day. I'm not even sure I remember her full name. Perfectly normal!

Also:
You associate witches and trick-or-treating with Easter
Ketchup goes on EVERYTHING and is a acceptable substitute for tomato sauce on pasta.
Hot dogs should be eaten with "räksallad" ("shrimp salad" - think shrimps in mayonnaise). And ketchup.
You bump into a stranger and don't apologize - you don't want to impose!

You know you're from Oklahoma when:

- Even though you live in a subdivision, there's a pasture full of cattle and horses right next to you
- You know there's pretty much no such thing as brown dirt; it's mostly red
- You can always see an oil drill somewhere around you, no matter where you're at
- There's a radio station called the 'Twister' that you listen to regularly
- Homeland is the main - and one of the only - grocery stores nearby
- Country music is playing on the radio of almost any store you go into
- Even the 'big' cities seem small in comparison to other state's cities
- Random people you barely know offer to let you join them in their tornado shelters if you ever need to

I once knew a guy who put ketchup on his popcorn

I can't think of anything, except to say that I know I'm from Tennessee when I call complete strangers "honey". :-p

These are fun!

You know you're from Cleveland if...

You know EXACTLY where the 'snow belt' begins and ends
Every other restaurant/bar near you references a 'burning river' in its name
You can pronounce Cuyahoga
You refer to the actual city of Cleveland as 'Downtown' and Lake Erie as 'The Lake'
You associate the smell of chemicals and rotting fish with childhood memories of 'the beach'
You've become an expert at pot hole dodging
You are so sun starved during the winter that, come May, you step outside to get the mail and come back with a sun burn, (or maybe that's just me XD)
You think this is funny, because you know it's true XD:

You know you are from Metro Atlanta if -

If you know you're way around ALL 70-odd Peachtree roads in Atlanta
If you judge the distance of something in Cobb Country by it's proximity to The Big Chicken
If it's Harry's Farmers Market - not Whole Foods
If you are adept at maneuvering your way through Spaghetti Junction and the Cobb Cloverleaf
If you are used to "rush hour" being anything but
If you know that a PAH-con is a tasty nut and a PEE-can is something you use to relieve yourself with in the woods
