這雖然是幾個星期前朋友E-MAIL給我的,每次開車的時候,總是想到這些加州人的特色,就忍不住傻傻的笑了起來。的確,身處在加州這個氣候宜人的 地方,因地利之便,很多景觀只要不嫌路遠,都可以到達,一年到頭四季如春。 火辣辣的太陽幾乎每天都可看見。 很多人都穿著輕鬆自在,公司裡面更是幾乎都不要求打扮的很正式,想當出很正式的託了媽媽買了上班用的正式衣服,去面試的時候,問主管上班需要穿什麼樣的服 飾呢?主管很隨合的說不要太隨便就好,所以我每天都很用心的打扮自己,可是總覺得自己格格不入。尤其是星期五,連經理級的都穿牛仔褲上班。大家都隨性的很 自在。每次打扮的稍微正式一點,就會被追問是不是有約會。不過若是有客戶要從東部來的,主管還會交代大家穿的正式一點。


身處在加州,妳不得不會聽點西班牙語,免的不會跟一些只會講西班牙語的雞同鴨講。出門更是不用說,懶的走是加州人的特性,總是在找最近的停車位,即使是要去做運動。


 


YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM CALIFORNIA WHEN:

1) Your monthly house payments exceed your annual income. 

2) You drive next to a Rolls Royce and don't notice.

3) You don't know anyone's phone number unless you check your cell phone.

4) You speak Spanish, but you're not Mexican. 

5) You begin to "lie" to your friends about how close you are when you know damn well that it'll take you at least an hour to get there (see below).

6) Getting anywhere from point A to point B,no matter what the distance, takes about "twenty minutes".

7) You drive to your neighborhood block party.

8) In the "winter", you can go to the beach and ski at Big Bear on the same day or mow your lawn in your shorts on New Years Day, and maybe sunburn.

9) You eat a different ethnic food for every meal.

10) If your destination is more than 5 minutes away on foot, you're definitely driving.

11) Calling your neighbors requires knowing their area code.

12) You know what "In-'N-Out" is and feel bad for all the other states because they don't have any. 

13) You don't stop at a STOP sign, you do a California Roll.

14) You really can never be too rich or too thin or too tan.

15) You've partied in Tijuana at least 3 times and  you don't remember at least 1 of them.

16) You go to a tanning salon before going to the beach.

17) You eat pineapple on pizza.

18) Your cell phone has left a permanent impression on the side of your head.

19) You think that Venice is a beach.

20) The waitress asks if you'd like "carbs" in your meal.

21) You know who the tinsel underwear dude in Venice Beach is.

22) You classify new people you meet by their Area Code. An "818" would never date a "562" and anyone from "323" or "213" is ghetto/second class. Best  area code: "949." Nobody likes anyone from the "909" because it stinks there.

23) You call 911 and they put you on hold.

24) You have a gym membership because it's mandatory.

25) The gym is packed at 3pm...on a workday.

26) You think you are better than the people who live "Over the Hill". It doesn't matter which side of the hill you are currently residing, you are just better than them, for whatever reason.

27) You know that if you drive two miles in any direction you will find a McDonald's or a Starbucks.28) You know what "sigalert", "PCH", and "the five" mean.

29) You can't remember . . . is pot illegal?

30) It's barely sprinkling rain and there's a report on every news station: "STORM WATCH".

31) The Terminator is your governor. 

32) You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from California.
