athens.....

Hittade ett roligt inlägg om athen på facebook.....

You know you are from athens when.......

Afternoon becomes morning, and evening becomes noon

You eat dinner after 10 p.m.

You eat breakfast before going to bed

When the traffic light turns orange, instead of pressing the brakes, you speed through

It takes you three hours to drink a cup of coffee

You dress up to go for coffee, but you go clubbing with sandals

You are over clubbing by the age of 20

You actually don't use the term "clubbing"

Pollution doesn’t bother you

You hate cab drivers and their inappropriate attempts at conversation (vulgar descriptions of fictitious female conquests top the list)

Your neighbourhood has a street called El. Venizelou

When driving, people mistake your thank-you gesture for a MOUNTZA

You complain that 25 degrees is too cold for summer

Pavements are seen as parking spaces

You can’t understand how cities in other countries function without periptera

Tourists amuse you

You’ve never seen the changing of the guard at Syntagma, and still cannot understand why people find it so amusing.

The islands are literally a “hop” away

You are tired of seeing women with 4x4s driving as if they own the road.

You are so over the Athens-Thessaloniki rivalry

You consider Athens the only true city in Greece

Everyone came from somewhere else, even if they hide it

You consider the Interamerican tower a skyscraper

You call your friends and your enemies by the same name: MALAKAS

Strikes are national holidays

Rain and snow wreak havoc and put you in a bad mood

You associate Syggrou with debauchery (hookers, strippers, Baby-O)

No smoking signs are so vintage.

Recycling is still theoretical to you.

Your souvlakia come faster than an ambulance

You wouldn’t dream of wearing red near or about leoforos on a football night

You pay a whole month's salary at the Bouzoukia in one night

Despite all this, you wouldn’t dream of living anywhere else.

Everyone smokes Marlboro lights

Frappe was the first type of coffee you tried

You can easily find yourself in a traffic jam at 6 am on a Sunday morning

There's a beggar/cripple at every traffic light who insists on washing your windows despite your refusal and on top of it all demands payment!

When you go to Kolonaki on a weekday, your friends from abroad ask: "don't these people work?"

You use your car to go to the bakery which is down the street from your house (a 2 minute walk)

You are annoyed that in order to go shopping on a Saturday you need to wake up early because shops CLOSE AT 3 O'CLOCK!

You like getting in bitch fights with public servants

You go to the Police station because someone stole your phone, and they tell you to call 100.

You see a children's indoor party center right next to strip clubs on syggrou
