I had such a good laugh. Which applies to you?
You know you are proudly South African when…
- Prisoners go on strike.
- You call a trunk a “boot”
- You call an elevator a “lift”
- You call a hood a “bonnet”
- You call a Barbeque a “Braai”
- You call a traffic light a “robot”
- You call a pickup truck a “bakkie”
- We sing “Ole’ Ole’” before we’ve won!
- You travel 100′s of kilometres to see snow.
- You paint your car’s registration on the roof.
- You call a bathing suit a “swimming costume”.
- You know the rules of Rugby better than any referee.
- You can do your monthly shopping on the pavement.
- You have to prove that you don’t need a loan to get one.
- A bullet train is being introduced, but we can’t fix potholes.
- You know what Rooibos Tea is, even if you’ve never had any.
- To get free electricity you have to pay a connection fee of R750.
- More people vote in a local reality TV show than in a local election.
- “Now now” or “just now” can mean anything from a minute to a month.
- You know someone who knows someone who has met Nelson Mandela.
- You get cold easily. Anything below 16 degrees Celsius is Arctic weather.
- You know a taxi can move twice it’s certified number of people in one trip.
- Travelling at 120 km/h you’re the slowest vehicle on the highway/freeway.
- The employees dance in front of the building to show how unhappy they are.
- You have to take your own linen with you if you are admitted to a government hospital.
- The SABC advertises and shows highlights of the programme you just finished watching.
- You produce a R100 note instead of your driver’s licence when stopped by a traffic officer.
- You go to braais regularly, where you eat boerewors and swim, sometimes simultaneously.
- You’re genuinely and pleasantly surprised whenever you find your car parked where you left it.
- You can sing your national anthem in four languages, and you have no idea what it means in any of them.
- The last time you visited the coast you paid more in speeding fines and toll fees than you did for the entire holiday.
- You continue to wait after a traffic light has turned to green to make way for taxis travelling in the opposite direction.
