You know you're living in America and not the UK when...

..... you can not find an electrical screw driver in the hardware stores ! (all they sell are test probes, ####### !)

..... you have a tail gater ..... they tend to sit on your rear as if they are looking through the contents in the back of the car...... ####### .... sometimes I feel like stopping the car in the middle of the road and walking to the back and opening the boot and asking the driver if s/he wants anything from it !

Glad to hear this isn't just a Tennessee thing!! It drives me CRAZY!!!!!!

It's an Ohio thing...... and a Michigan thing..... and a Utah thing..... oh and Idaho, Kentucky.... pretty much everywhere I've been here!

I understand it better now that I've taken the driving test and realized that a monkey could pass it.

Ok, American guy here!

I don't get the soccer (football), When I was in school I played it all the time and I loved it. But to watch it being played is like watching paint dry. No one ever scores points!

How can this be enjoyable?

I have the same problem with hockey, but in this case I cannot see where the puck is most of the time. At least in Soccer (football) I know where the ball is.

Just my observation.

I've never understood what's so exciting about American "football". Takes like an hour to get from one end of the field to the other!! I went and saw the Denver Broncos, never been so bored in all my life.
