Well, where I come from...

Where I come from, people would beat you down for wearing a NY Yankees baseball cap.

[LancelotLink 56]

Where I come from, it OK to wear white socks with tennis shoes.

[a.tuttle 1,757]

Where I come from, bartenders freepour cocktails. And they're cheap, like gasoline.

Where I came from we say We are not Seattle, we will never be Seattle, fuck Seattle.. Now I am homesick.

[bluedave 2,499]

Where i'm from people don't whine about life like you lot.

[perdido 6,083]

You from the Local?

Where I come from, people don't remove the plastic part of the package from the cardboard part of the package, and sort it into two different containers.

 

On the other hand, on holiday, I missed that I couldn't properly recycle every piece of plastic and cardboard that I am now so aware of when it goes into regular trash, even where I was staying with friends. But it probably all gets processed later? (I hope.)

 

Where I come from, no one lets their kids on trams and non-school buses to mix with adults to and from school. They are chaperoned to and from the school gates. Although kids do go missing ( i.e. Mirko, near us) it doesn't make the German parents paranoid of "Stranger Danger."

I'm so glad I'm raising a free-range kid.

Where I come from, the beautiful spring weather we've been enjoying in northern Germany recently is normal. I guess I didn't appreciated it enough at the time. Ho hum, another gorgeous day.

Where I come from there are lots and lots of roundabouts - they help keep the traffic flowing.

Even a small, white, painted circle in the middle of the road counts as a roundabout, with all the relevant rules and regulations - here the only roundabouts I have so far come across are those which are about 30 meters across, and are viewed as a real challenge by the "locals"!

 

(I don´t like traffic lights much - they are always on red!)

[robinson100 12,854]

Where I come from you wouldn`t dream of wearing a pair of socks with your sandals - it looks stupid!

Where I come from, I've never seen someone order a beer, followed half an hour later by a coffee. I'd always thought beer drinking was a one-way street.

Where I come from men are men and sheep are nervous

 

Sheep are nothin' but a bunch of liars.

[robinson100 12,854]

My friends and I do NOT lie!

 

Where I come from, the only intercourse a sheep ever has is with another sheep!

[Moondancer 5,723]

Where I come from we have things called State Fairs and County Fairs, where you can not only ride the rides, but also eat things called Dumbo Ears, eat corn that is not field corn and drink Lemon Shake-ups made with real lemons or Ice Tea made from scratch and not out of a carton with peach flavor added. You can also go admire all the gussied-up farm animals that kids have been beautifying for hours on end for their big moment in the ring, watch sheep dogs herd sheep, and see who won the best cherry pie contest. Yes, I come from a land that has fruit pies.

 

I miss the fairs.

Where I come from if ,000 people got together to drink beer on a Sunday afternoon, a riot would ensue.

[Punatick 124]

Where I come from ...they have mass produced crap beer, guns everywhere, no social stability, OMG high food prices for crap products, gas guzzling 4X4's that never go off-road, hippie dippy - artsy fartsy mentality, crap medical system that will cause family bankruptcy, whiners that think the world owes them something, houses that last maybe a decade, taxes and more taxes without services in return, customer service centers in India not Omaha, genetically altered food, George Bush & Sarah Palin types and mortgage backed securities that screwed the world. I love Bavaria!!!

[adutchy 7]

Where I come from they have real peanut butter

 

Where I come from new German motorbikes are cheaper than they are in Germany!!!

[adutchy 7]

Where I come from people will stop and ask if you need help when your car breaks down.

[Masala 157]

Where I come from, parents don't come and stand beside the only swing at the playground with their kid as soon as I put my kid in it; and say "Gleich Shatze, gleich."
