There is no haggling prices. The price written on the item is what it really costs.

Don't forget to mention the sales tax if it is an issue where you live since it means you actually pay more than what is written...lol

Very true... forgot about that one.

A car is a neccesity..not a luxury. It has a lot of costs to go along with it....oil changes, property taxes, inspection, gas, tires.....and NO we can NOT sell the car.....a taxi is more expensive.

Also very true. My husband still cannot comprehend the distances here in the US and the lack of public transport (outside of urban settings)

That all husbands cut the grass, do all lawnwork, and wash the suvs every weekend or everyday if necessary, and most importantly pay all the bills in the household (after getting a job).

We just had little bit of this conversation about places that are close to the house here. I have places like Sears, Targets, Drug Stores etc within small driving time distance but he only wanted to know if we could walk. Yes but ..........

And another thing he wanted to know Can i walk to Mcdonalds, no for this one you would want to drive or there is Wendys close enough he could walk (and bring it back home) to eat, no just eat it there, will be cold time you get back home. Is that a rule or they give you choice? again you get choice but........

Also, if you break a glass cup remember you cannot place it in the sink and

turn on the garbage disposal

Crosswalks/lights are in place for a reason. Waiting your turn/standing in line is a good idea if you don't want to evoke tempers.

I told Ahmed if I catch him trying to jaywalk I will be his @$$. "Do you know what a crosswalk is? With the little sign that says walk and dont walk?", I asked him. "Oh yes", he said brightly, "I saw it in the movies". Heaven help us.

Hypothetically speaking It stems from my first venture to Morocco and trying to cross the street. With cars (and children hanging on the trunk), busses, people, and animal-drawn carts all whizzing down the streets I told him the only way to get me on the other side of the street was going to be with a crane. He just darts out in traffic :::shudder:::
