YOU KNOW YOU ARE FROM WASHINGTON STATE WHEN:

You avoid driving through Seattle at all costs.

You consider swimming an indoor sport.
You see a person carrying an umbrella and instantly think tourist.
Your lawn is mostly moss and you don't really care.
Honking your car horn is for absolute emergencies.
You're EXTREMELY picky about your coffee.
“The mountain is out today", isn't a strange statement.
While out of state you just tell people you're from Seattle since that's the only known city in Washington according to the rest of the world.
You remember Almost Live.
You've eaten in the Space Needle, and while it was delicious, you're never paying $150 for a meal in the sky again.
You rarely wash your car because it's just going to get washed by the rain tomorrow.
You're used to the phrase "No, not DC" when telling out of staters where you're from.

You take a warm coat and a hat with you for a day at the beach.
You have mastered the art of doing everything in the rain, because, well, Washington.
You play the "no you go" at four-way stop.
You have had both the thought of how beautiful Mount Rainier is, while simultaneously accepting that it will probably kill you someday.
You get a little twitchy if it's been more than a week since it last rained.
You believe Twilight ruined Forks.
You can say Humptulips, Lilliwap and Dosewallips without giggling.

Scotland!

Ok, couldn't resist destroying the world's perception of kilts, bagpipes and all that other shite that people would associate with my country! For our American cousins, the "Football" referred to below is what you call "Soccer".

YOU KNOW YOUR FROM SCOTLAND WHEN:

You can't remember the last day when you didn't consume alcohol.

You order extra take away food because leftover Chinese/Indian food is your favourite breakfast.

You order between 3 and 6 drinks for yourself when the Barman rings the bell and shouts "Last orders!"

You act surprised when a supermarket refuses to serve you alcohol at 8am.

You notice single mothers dropping their kids off at school, wearing pyjamas/dressing gown/slippers because they are going straight back to bed when they get home.

You read in the paper that, yet another football fan has been stabbed to death on the way home from a game, just for wearing his team's colours.

You are out for a meal and you notice a little bit of lettuce and tomato on your plate, realising that you haven't eaten any salad in the previous 6 months.

You know people that have pulled their own teeth out with pliers when they couldn't get an appointment with the Dentist.

You profess, in company to hating the English, despite having English friends, enjoying holidays in England, lusting after English female celebrities and (Secretly) supporting an English football team because their game is vastly superior to your home countries.

You would happily eat fried fish and chips several nights in a row for dinner.

You read in the paper that a city in your country has the highest teenage pregnancy rate in Western Europe.

You read in the paper that the male life expectancy, in an area of your city is 39.

You sometimes opt for pizza, as a healthy choice to try and get your "5 a day".

You know someone who got married wearing a track suit.

You are so used to cold weather and rain that 30 minutes of bright sunshine, 3 days per year makes you feel odd, preferring to stay indoors.

You realise when your German Shepherd makes threatening noises at the postman that he is starting to growl with a Glasgow accent.

You are in a Bar, on a visit to New York in March and you go outside for a smoke, without a coat and the bouncer asks you, "Aren't you freezing?"

You realise that 5 of your classmates from school have died from drug abuse.

You know that racists are few in your country, but every second person is a religious bigot.

You are informed of a statistic that states if you were ever to commit murder, the person you are most likely to murder would be your best friend. Whilst drunk. During an argument. Over football.

Having said all that, It's a nice wee place! Why not come for a visit?
 
You know you're from Wisconsin when:

You expect your cheese curds to squeak.

You first taste beer before you can read.

The only kind of building that your town has more of than churches is bars.

You know the name of more Packers who played before you were born than anyone currently playing in the NFL from all teams together.
