The typical person I know doesn´t even know that feet and inches are used to measure lenghts and heights. Pounds are still in use in Germany, although not as an official unit - you can get into real trouble if you only print a pound value on your product. So it´s just retarded for the typical canadian person.

I always thought it was stupid that german motorways share the same name for both directions. I never knew if I was driving in the right direction when I was not familiar with geography of that area.
Over three years after getting my drivers license I finally figured out that I just have to look at the numbers printed next to the name of the exits. When my exit has the number 40 and the numbers go 50... 49... 48 everything is fine. If it is 43... 44... 45 I´m obviously driving in the wrong direction.
I think they don´t tell you that in driving school because it´s so extremely easy to get.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
