You know youre Argentine when...

Esto lo encontre en Facebook, corte los partes que no tenian sentido

*you learn that soap and toilet paper are not always gaureenteed in a bathroom
*the person cooking your food does not find it necessary to wash their hands after playing with the dog, taking out the trash or any other random activity.
*clubs open at 2 am and don´t close until 8 or 9
*the bus to school picks up at the nightclubs
*even your 60 year-old tango teacher with her butt hangin out of her dress doesn´t strike you as weird
*you have at least 4 meals a day
*dinner starts at 10 p.m.
*you dont find it odd that your grocery store is named "disco" and your nightclub is named "hillrose".
*you pull ANYTHING out of the fridge and you think "i bet this would go well with some dulce de leche."
*you are 10 pounds underweight for your height category in america, but you´re still the fattest girl in your class in argentina.
*"un ratito" actually equals 45 mins to an hour! Or more!
*You find a hair in your food and you're thankful it's not an entire wig or worse.
*You spray Off! at the bugs and they laugh at you.
*you go home at 5 in the morning and you feel like you wimped out.
*your professor is too busy texting during class to answer your questions.
*seatbelts are simply for decoration
*screens do not exist on windows....only large metal bars
*you heat your house by turning on the oven and leaving the door open
*if you are black you must be from Brasil and if the only way you live in the State is that your parents immigrated
*you try on a size Large and it fits like a Small
*you eat at restaurants that you wouldn't dare look at before you came to this country
*everything you learned in Spanish class in the States is negated
*YOU KNOW LOCRO = LOCO!
*you lose your house key so your parents change all the locks and buy all new keys
*something Ive heard described as "the veinte minuto phenomenon": you know that "veinte minutos" doesn't really mean 20 min...and coming from a remis company it probably means never.
*at an intersection you yield to whoever flashes their lights or honks first...and find it not the least bit strange
*you see people with mate and a thermos...everywhere
*the word 'bueno' has somehow found its way to the top of your most commonly used words list
*nothing in the fridge is covered and you hope that the cutting board they used to cut the chicken has been washed with more than just water
*you watch Son de Fierro as a family each night
* you are immune to all types of whistling, cat calling, and hearing "mi amor"
