…you are proudly South African when:
- You call a bathing suit a swimming costume
- You call a traffic light a robot
- You call an elevator a lift
- You call a hood a bonnet
- You call a trunk a boot
- You call a pickup truck a bakkie
- You call a barbeque a braai
- The employees dance infront of the building to show how unhappy they are
- You get cold easily. Anything below 16 degrees Celcius is Arctic weather
- The drinking age is 18 but everyone starts at 14
- You can sing our national anthem in four languages, and you have no idea what it means in any of them
- You produce a R100 note instead of your licence when stopped by a traffic officer
- The fuel in your tank can be worth more than your car
- Traveling at 120km/h makes you the slowest moving vehicle on the highway
- You know a taxi can move twice it’s certified number of people in one trip
- More people vote in a local reality TV show than in a local election
- You are genuinly and pleasantly surprised to find your car parked exactly where you left it
- A bullet train is being introduced, but we can’t fix potholes
- You don’t stop at a red traffic light, in case somebody highjacks your car
…only to name a few.
