Pizza gets to your house faster than an ambulance
There are handicap parking places in front of a skating rink.
Drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.
People order double cheeseburgers, large fries and a diet coke.
Banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the counter.
We leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.
We use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place.
We buy hot dogs in packages of 12 and buns in packages of 8.
We use the word "politics" to describe the process so well: "Poli" in Latin meaning "many" and "tics" meaning "bloodsucking creatures".
We have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.

It sounds a lot like the US- we have every one of those things.

Do you also have locks on doors to stores that are open 24 / 7?
