#15 Think umbrellas are for wimps.

Okay, have your umbrella, but PLEASE stay out from under the awnings with it.
It bugs me when umbrella users feel they need put an eye out from us non-umbrella users under the awnings.
ugh, and don't get me started on those giant golf umbrellas.
(ahhh ~ I feel better now)

Oh, good! I'll feel right at home when I get out there, then. I was raised in the Midwest, where everyone understands what pop is. Out here on the East Coast, I just get funny looks, because here it's a "soda."

[Ira500]

Maybe a thread worth 'resuscitating'…..

You know you're from Seattle when you have to buy another pair of sunglasses, because you can't find the ones from last year due to lack of use!

Seattle buys about 50 percent more sunglasses per capita than the national average.

Funny list.

I'll be in trouble when I move to Seattle: I don't drink coffee!

I also hope I can find some men who will wear a suit to a nice restaurant every now and then! Except I have been wondering how women walk around in heels in the rain as I'd assume they don't want to ruin their shoes.

HA! I know I've lost a few pairs in the past. I actually wished I had mine a few days ago driving to work. I have a really nice pair that I left at a friend's house last spring. Haven't had the chance to go get them back yet because said friend lives in Yakima, and I'm not over in the Yakima area often.
