Sabes que eres parisino cuando...

Hoy me siento vaguísimo. Será el tiempo. O el hecho que todo el mundo está haciendo puente y que nos quedamos unos poco en el curro, y aún menos en la ciudad. En fin. Total que no tengo la energía para escribir un post, así que os pongo esto que he encontrado en internet y me ha hecho mucha gracia. Y para probar que soy un verdadero parisino, os lo pongo aquí.

You know you are from Paris when...
  1. You consider Boulogne, Neuilly, Saint-Denis etc to be the countryside. I mean, Porte de Versailles or Porte de la Villette mean there IS a door, and therefore an outside and an inside, right?
  2. You know that, when you take the subway and you have to go through Châtelet, you NEED a ticket because you know exactly where the police is hiding (behind those glass window things)
  3. You're SO over the sound the metro card Navigo makes when you swipe it on the machine
  4. Your very first clubbing experience was at Le Queen. Now you think it looks more like a nursery than a club.
  5. You know that a martini means a martini, and not that gross vermouth and gin mixture.
  6. You find it normal that someone is randomly peeing in the street.
  7. You peed in the street at least once in your life.
  8. You think that having a car in Paris is useless, but to go from Concorde to Les Champs Elysées, you take a taxi.
  9. You can tell only by looking at their clothes from which arrondissement people are.
  10. Shopping is a competitive sport, fashion, a way of life.
  11. You actually consider walking in dog shit with your left foot lucky (it happens so often, it might as well be useful)
  12. You know the subway map by heart, but you have trouble learning the different regions of France.
  13. You know that coffe isn't suppose to be served in a cup that looks like a bathtub. And you drink it at the bar, standing.
  14. You hate Paris and Parisians.
  15. You love Paris and Parisians.
  16. When foreign people ask where you're from, you say "Paris", and not "France".
  17. You could write a poem on Ladurée/ Pierre Hermé macarons.
  18. You have never been on the Eiffel Tower, or on a boat on the Seine, and you only go tothe Champs Elysées when it's Sunday night and you need to buy a book at Virgin for class on Monday.
  19. When people say "Paname", you want to bleach their mouth.
  20. You're so dramatic, you say you want to kill yourself at least five times a day.
  21. You're surprised when someone holds the door for you at the subway exit.
  22. You're even more surprised when a sales person asks if you're looking for something in particular. Actually that would never happen.
  23. You know the guy whose sister's friend who's the cousin of a girl who knows the manager.
  24. You got shit faced when you were 13, and now you drink real drinks, and look down on people who do vodka/beer shots at frat parties.
  25. "Putain", "bordel", "merde" or the ever famous "putain de bordel de merde" are not considered "bad words"; I mean, you use them every day, and sometimes it's affectionate.
  26. You don't really get excited when you go clubbing; you just take your bag and go.
  27. You know that Paris is not a city, it's an attitude.
  28. You thinks it's normal when you know the life story of the butcher/baker/cashier of G20/homeless guy rue de Rennes/sales woman of H&M.
  29. You KNOW that it's the most fabulous,angry, stylish, bitchy, comic, even romantic (even though you HATE clichés) city in the world and that, although you left, you will come back and stay for good.
