What odd things have you started doing since moving here?
#1
Jam jars, ketchup, well all the condiments going in the fridge. I don't remember doing that in the UK...anyone else do the same? Why?
Oh and ziplock bags over here, saving the clean ones that veg were put in, to seal up off cuts of meat before chucking those in the bin to help reduce the smell. We don't have rubbish pick up and don't fill a big bin weekly so takes a few weeks to make a dump run worth it.
No ugly net curtains to keep the weirdo's from prying either...but then we keep the curtains closed in the living room to keep the place cooler anyway so not needed...plus ugly, Venetian blinds that are everywhere.
Oh and a garage never being used to store a car, but for all kinds of crap, made worse when moving garden stuff in over winter

Shaving my legs more than twice a year 
Saying, "I'm good."
Talking to a bunch of nutters on the internet all day.

Saying "Near London" when people ask what part of the UK I'm from as I know almost none of them have a clue.
Dreaming about sausage rolls
Never wearing tights
Keeping all the windows closed on hot days - to keep the AC in

Eating the dill pickle spear that comes with my deli sandwich at lunch time.

I went into some detail the first time I was asked, only to have the person later introduce me to someone else as being from "Scartland, right?" So I keep it simple now.

Reading a bunch of nutters on the internet who truly understand why I'm prepared to pay a small fortune for British Bacon from our local "boutique charcuterie" and that Hersheys chocolate really DOES taste like vomit
