Society's unwritten rules.

Yea, I found the hand shaking deal a bit dodgy. I never know what these people are going to do. I'm used to one swift motion of up and down but these guys want to take it a step further and add 3 more steps to it. Awkward the first time but it gets better once you know who does what.

Also, I just met this girl last Friday. I didn't know her at all and she gave me a hug before she left. I was gonna shake her hand too but she leaned in first.

Oh, and is it true about how sidewalk walking is supposed to imitate traffic in the sense that there are "lanes" depending on which way you're going? I've been told this but rarely ever witness it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I've never heard a girl release gas before, besides my little sisters.

There are a lot of double standards to comment on. Far too many.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Sometimes I go to Perkins with some buddies and I'm not that hungry and just decide to get a coffee and that's it. The waiter sometimes gives me a short pause or something. Although, Perkins (around here) has become a pretty social eating / hanging place for the people I associate with. So...

Yea, I get that. Friends would always go to Denny's for some reason or another and I find myself lacking the urge to fork over cash every single time. Sometimes I just order a hot chocolate or nothing at all and I used to get these weird stares from my friends and the waiter but they've apparently gotten use to the fact that I hardly ever eat around them.

Oh, speaking of food. I know it's customary to offer a guest food, or at least with the Filipinos it is. But they seriously insist and it's hard to turn them down. They seem to take it as a personal insult if you don't indulge them.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
