6. You feel overdressed wearing a suit to a nice restaurant.

I found #14 very funny and true. Only because my 4 girls really struggle with this one. They were all cute. The coffee one is funny too, I am from Arizona, moved here when I was 20, so I still find some of these strange, but I've been here 16yrs. I am Pacific Northwest through and through.
Thanks for sharing
