You got mad because you didn't ride attendant or life guard for that summer, instead you got food and beverage or something that required alot of sweating in the FL sun.

You have woken early so you can get into Rock Springs before it gets to capacity.

You got really mad because it filled up so you settled for Wekiva Springs instead.

You got kicked out of downtown as a teen during the Glenda Hood curfew days.
Or been involved in a raid/lockdown during late night at the Beachum Theater, before the curfew days and you hear someone yell, "Swallow 'em if you got 'em!"
You remember every rave/techno/trance has been to Firestone at one time or another.
Or you remember the same at "The Edge", pre-Firestone! Or didn't leave home to go out to Firestone until 3am or remember walking down Orange after the club on a Sunday late morning along with the people coming or going to church, or went to after hours parties after after hours at the club and your Saturday night ended on Monday morning! (And now wonder how you ever were physically able to do such a thing!)

You have used the term "Otown" or "Jamlando!"
You know the best kept commuting secret from the westside is Old Winter Garden Road, 10 mins to downtown, no tolls, no Colonial!
You remember that about 10 minutes ago, there was no Conroy exit on I-4 and Millenia was a swamp/forest.
You remember when there was citrus groves visable from the Citrus Tower.

You remember those "FAAAAMMMMMILY AUTO MART!" commercials

You and your friends spend $100 bowling at Firkin and Kegler

You spend $150 a month in tolls commuting to and from work

You LOVE Monsters in the Morning

The only part of OBT you feel safe on is in Hunters Creek

Great posts everyone, good to see all the die-hard Orlando posters on the scene, here's a few more:

...You live in a Bright House.

...You know the different names for 434 & 436 like: North & South Semoran, Forest City Road, North & South Alafaya, E Altamonte Drive, County Rd 427, Sanlando Springs Rd, and 419.

...When people say barbecue, you think of the bar on Orange Ave and not pulled pork.

...You eat a different country's delicacy every day for lunch.

...You go out six nights a week and still complain about being bored.

...You know exactly what time of day to roll your windows down on I-4 to smell the Merita Bread.

and finally...

...You cringe anytime somebody refrences Orlando on City-Data because you know the wave of insults and ignorant comments you will spend the next fews hours rebuking.

You wonder to yourself, "Where did those guys doing wheelies on their motorcycles on Semoran go?" Haven't seen them for years but loved seeing a dude do a wheelie for blocks down Semoran, good times.

Plus I found a few more out there that you guys might enjoy:

...Your flip flops are considered business casual.

...You were taught that the best way to outrun a gator is to zig-zag.

...You know someone who knows someone who was struck by lightning.

...You are afraid to go to a water park becuase of speedos.

...You regularly mention the high risk of shark attacks at Daytona and New Smyrna to all tourists who ask.

...You've spent time pondering the meaning of the lights on the side of the downtown public library.

...No matter where you go, you are always 30 minutes away

...Instead of explaining to people from other places that you are from Winter springs, Winter park, Altamonte Springs, Maitland, Apopka, Windermere, you simply say Orlando.

and finally...

...You have 5 really nice jackets but have only got to wear one... on vacation... back up north.
