Some of the things that you adjust to but never really get used to are:
- Restaurants that don't open until 9:00 PM (or later)
- Full grown men that wear a size 28 slim jeans (I think I wore those when I was 7 and they were too tight on my thighs then)
- Mens clothing stores that don't have any clothing that fits. How can a XXL dress shirt have a 15" neck and 12" arm holes?
- Topless women on the beaches
- And on the flip-side Full rude, nude dudes on the beach or on a random street in the city or in the neighborhood.
- People in the mall that think the exit must be right in front of my cart and therefore stop and look around
- People that don't know how an elevator or escalator work and therefore stop at the top, bottom or open door to assess the situation and then make a calculated decision. I admit, if I had never seen one before I may need to do the same thing.
- The same people above need to enter and exit the metro and they have the same issue - what to do when the door opens. Do I wait? Do I walk through it? Very difficult. ( I have missed elevators due to this phenomenon)
- The fact that some people are moving so slow they appear to be moving backwards.
- Heavy winter coats and scarves when it is 55 degrees in the name of fashion
- Men in capris
- Man purses
- Pushing a cart full of groceries through the mall to the down ramp escalator
- Shopping carts where all four wheels rotate
- Business travelers that don't know how to go through security. (I have a lot of compassion for rookies but guys in business suits that don't make an effort before security to remove belts, coats, wallets, toiletries, laptops, phones, etc. and behave as if they had no idea when they get to the front of the line and have to go through 2 or 3 times because they forgot they had change are just hard to get used to)
I am sure that there are more things. These are just the ones that make me laugh at the moment. I hope they make you laugh too.
