Unsurprisingly, drive-through bottle shops are pretty common in Australia.

I remember seeing the perfect accessory for those places. Hang on.
There:
Defeats that pesky seat-belt warning and uncaps a fresh one.

VA law says you can buy alcohol at stores until midnight (bars until 2AM).
Under-cover cops would go around just after 12 and try to buy it, then ticket the clerks for selling it just a few minutes lateā¦ Most of the stores are now playing it safe by stopping sales on their own at bleeping 11 PM !

Black. God forbid you let anyone on the Eastern seaboard think you want it āregularā.

I gotta be honest, Iāve never tried to drink tea in Canada. Either I avoid restaurants because I run 5-8 miles a day, or Iām there on vacation and they mark us as from the US because of our booze choices.
(i.e. Knowledge of Bourbon == 'Murican. Asking what Labatt 50 is == 'Murican)

East Coast regular = two creams, two sugars.
Meanwhile I still call it regular as opposed to decaf, when what I mean to say is large French roast, black, hot.
Then I have the luck of getting the one barista there whoās like a shitty NPC and asks the questions anyway: āWhat size? Hot or iced?ā and then gets me a coffee with cream and sugar anyway

Apparently knowledge of seltzer water is Canadian. I got a can of seltzer somewhere in Canada and they were like, you know thatās seltzer and not soda, right? Iām guessing a lot of other American tourists had gotten the seltzer and complained the soda was bitter, or something.

Further proof that Minnesota actually exists in Canada: I had no idea people elsewhere in the US donāt know what seltzer is.

I have family in South Carolina. They owned both the party store and the liquor store in town.
The party store is what I would call a liquor store here in California. It has beer, wine, chips, snacks, cigarettes, etc. Everything but liquor. The liquor store only has liquor. Its connected to the party store and they canāt have a sign that says itās a liquor store. Only a big red circle.

Ripping up the same road three times at the same location in the span of 6 months. I am sick and tired of this traffic at this spot with these same stupid people who cannot drive and make simple decisions!!!

At the museum where I volunteer thereās this interactive exhibit. Thereās a whole story about what itās supposed to be, but the basics are thereās two stations, A and B, and you push 3 buttons on one station in a specific order, which sends a āmessageā to activate the other station where you basically repeat the process. Thereās a screen at each station which either says āPress the Green Buttonā or āProceed to Station Bā. Each button will light up and flash when itās time to push it as well.
Anyway. Words cannot express how much I hate this thing. Because no one EVER reads the instructions on it. So theyāll go to one station and bang on random buttons until it lights up and makes a noise. Sometimes they hit on the button combo accidentally. Sometimes that station isnāt even active and it was someone else pressing buttons that made it light up and make a (loud, obnoxious) noise.
The best part is that Station A is right next to where I give one of my artifact talks. So sometimes in mid-sentence I get interrupted by FWOOOSHHH BWEEEEEEEEDEDEDEDEDEDEDEDEEEEE" which you can imagine throws off my speaking rhythm a bit.
The days I come in and that motherfucker is broken are my favorite days.
