You Know You've Been Living on a Caribbean Island When You....
- have an small panic attack when entering Target because there is "so much stuff and so many people"
- leave your car unlocked (with your purse and laptop in it) everywhere you go because you don't think about anyone wanting to take your stuff anymore
- miss smiling people that are interested in human interaction
- get weirded out by anything taller than a two story building
- can't figure out why everyone is in such a hurry
- lose your car in the parking garage EVERY SINGLE DAY because you forgot to keep track of where you put it because it's impossible to have to remember which floor you parked on, on the island
- feel like royalty in your 2003 Chevy Malibu because it's the only car you've driven in a few months that is painted one solid color, has less than 60 dents and has a resemblance of shocks
- forget what that amazing aqua blue/turquoise stuff looks like and you start getting used to being surrounded by concrete gray
- the constant noise of being in a city surrounded by constant noise makes you insane
- need a sweater in 69 degree weather
- spend an entire day/week without needing your sun glasses
- having to wear shoes every day is making you claustrophobic
You've definately went native..
