Rules for Jay Walking and Road Rage=Shopping Rage in DE

So, here are some funny differences I've noticed so far.................................




Rules for Jay walking (in front of kids):
This sign is on every street light.  It says "only by green of the children a role model."  So, I guess it means that in order to be a good role model, you have to wait for the green.  


PRACTICAL ROAD RULES:

- You can jay walk in front of kids, if there isn't a cross walk nearby meaning more than 20 feet away...ish. 

- You can jay walk against the red, if it's on the other side of the street and if it's not looking.


OK. THIS makes sense to me.  I really don't know how the kids that grow up in NYC survive.  

No one respects a queue.


In a bathroom, supermarket, bank, post office, it's all the same. Everyone cuts. No one puts the little plastic thing in between their stuff on the conveyor belt. Everyone is annoyed if you pay slow or you don't have all of your things packed in your bag by the time you pay. PS: It's nearly impossible. Suggestion: hire baggers. Teenagers here need jobs, too.

At least in the states, if someone cuts in line, someone will yell at that person and most likely shame them to the back of the line.  Here no one says anything.

There are a crap load of blogs on this... Here's one.





You have to recycle everything and protect the environment, but EVERY dude pees on the streets...in full daylight....in front of everyone....even when there are bathrooms close and if they're sober.]

No woman I know understands this and here's another one.


I mean.  I get it on one hand.  I have done my fair share of urban peeing.  I find it crazy that you have to pay for bathrooms here.  It makes me FURIOUS!  It is a human need and the restrooms are mostly in restaurants or bars, shopping malls, etc.  I can understand having a bathroom attendant that is paid with the funds for public toilets in the mall or in some other kind of public situation, but not in a restaurant or bar, book shop, etc.   And then, sometimes, you have to pay for a toilet with the bathroom attendant sitting there staring at you...and the bathroom is not clean.  WTF IS THAT ABOUT? I mean.  Really?  


Anyway....enough of that one.  



Bikers and pedestrians have the right of way except when a bus is coming. Those assholes will always try to run you down.




You can drink in public! Beer and wine = 16 years old. Hard alcohol = 18 years old. It's a little funny to see kids in the bar.

Crabben is tiny gross shrimps. NOT CRAB. Don't be fooled.

Your name has to be approved by the government.
