When you are outside NYC and people keep asking to you to pronounce the word spelled W-A-T-E-R and then they giggle hysterically.

When you know all the major religious holidays from a variety of different religions.

You refuse to eat bagels and pizza outside the metro area, and go on and on with friends about the aspects of a good pizza or bagel. Then they get annoyed, lol.

This is everyone's favorite word to mock, isn't it?! haha.

When you meet your boyfriend's small-town Canadian mother and she can't understand a word you say.
When you can navigate the traffic in Naples because "it's not that bad!"

Oh another!

When you're out of town and you try to buy beer at midnight. What? Why not?
When you go out at 1 AM expecting to have a few hours more to party... Only to find them calling last call as you walk in!

When you are out of town and you are looking for a liquor store and you ask yourself, "what does it wine & spirits mean?"

or

When you are out of town and you are amazed that the McDonald's closes at 9'oclock like a regular store.
