Re: You know you have been here a long time when....
Here's some more I found (plagarised by MJC )
* You think the best time to cross the street is at midnight, dressed completely in black, holding hands with your entire family.
* You no longer wait in line but go immediately to the front of the queue,
which can sometimes be one deep and three thousand wide.
* You stop at the bottom of an escalator to plan your day.
* It becomes exciting to see if you can get onto a lift before anyone can
try to get out.
* It is no longer surprising that the only minute made at a meeting is the
time and place for the next meeting.
* You rank the decision-making abilities of your staff by how long it takes them to reply 'Up to you!'
* You no longer wonder how someone who earns 2000 Dhs per month can drive a brand new Mercedes.
* Your Mercedes has leather upholstery but you still keep the plastic covers the car was delivered with on.
* You accept the fact that you must queue to get a number for the next
queue.
* You accept without question the mechanic's analysis that the car is
'broken' and will cost 'a lot' of money to get it 'fixed'.
* You find that it saves time to stand and retrieve your hand luggage from
the overhead lockers whilst the plane is making it's final landing approach.
* A T-bone steak with rice sounds just fine.
* You believe everything you read in the newspapers.
* You regard traffic signals, stop signs and fake watch peddlers with equal
disdain.
* When listening to the pilot prove he cannot speak English you no longer
wonder if he can understand the air traffic controller.
* You regard it as part of the adventure, when the waiter repeats your
order exactly but the cook makes something completely different.
* You have more knickknacks than your grandmother.
* You are no longer surprised when three men with a ladder arrive to change
a light bulb.
* You understand all the above
