you know you are african when:

Now this is quite funny......plus its true 70% of the time......



1. You unwrap all your gifts carefully, so that you can reuse the wrapper.

2. You call a person you've never met before uncle or aunty.


3
.More than 90% of the music CD's and cassettes in your home are illegal copies

4. Your garage is always full of stuff because you never throw anything away, just in case you need it
someday (a gum boot without a partner and the baby walker - baby's now 12 and you are 48).

5
. You have a collection of miniature shampoo bottle from your stays at hotels. (Gocool, Sweet heart, African pride....)

6
. You have almost always carried overweight baggage when travelling by plane.

7
. If a store has a limit on the quantity of a product, then each member of the family will join separate queues to purchase the maximam quantity possible (sugar,soap, rice,cooking fat etc etc during old good days)

8. Children have annoying nicknames...
(De- Boy, De-Girl, Bomboy, Aboy)

9. Nobody in your family informs you that they are
coming over for a visit. ( uncle, wife, sis-in-law,two nephews and a neighbour have camped at home)

10
. You stuff your pockets with mints and toothpicks at restaurants. (Murray mints, wrappers, and salt shakers!)

11
. Your mother has a minor disagreement with her sister and does not talk to her for 10 years

12. You only make telephone calls at a cheaper rate at night (especially
Flashers).

13
. You never have less than 20 people to meet you at the airport or see you off even if it is a local flight.

14
. You keep changing your Internet Service Provider because the first month is free. (I know some people o!.....)

15
. Office supplies mysteriously find their way to your home.(Yes,staple machine, office pins, punch machine,cellotapes, post-its,etc. )

16
. When you are young, your parents buy you clothes and shoes at least two sizes too big so that they would last longer.
