Sometimes trucks indicate with their blinkers so you can over take................... sometimes they indicate because they are turning.

In England a driver blinking his lights at you down a tight street means "you go first", in France it means "GTFO of the way, i'm coming through!!" - realised this halfway across a narrow bridge in Normandy with a huge-ass truck bearing down on me.

It's funny because it was the word "guarantee/d" for me...I never realized there was a "U" after the "G."
This realization was about a year ago...<_<

I never realized why they called a laptop a laptop until like a couple of months earlier. It's because you put it in your lap not because people in labs use it! D=

After decades of reading comics, I realized that the characters Amos Fortune and King Faraday have puns for names.

There was an episode of This American Life about this, and the best segment was this one girl who thought that unicorns were an extinct creature, and was casually talking about it at a college party...
When I was really little, I never knew hockey games had only 3 periods, because I kept falling asleep before the end. I thought there were four.

This is one of my biggest issues. I'm so smart that sometimes the most obvious things go over my head.
* I was 20 when I realized what "C.R.E.A.M." stood for, despite years of hearing them rap over and over again: "CASH RULES EVERYTHING AROUND ME, C.R.E.A.M. GET YOUR MONEY".
* Broke up with an ex when I was 19 because her ex told me he fucked her the night before and she later, stammering, somewhat admitted to it. I later, like almost ten years later, realized that the disgusting fuck was lying, they had never had sex that night, and my ex was just using it as an excuse to get out of our relationship.

When I was around 5 or 6, I had a dog, Sadie, that bit someone. My mom and dad told me that they were going to send the dog away to a farm in Montana. I agreed, as it would be best that my dog get some proper obedience training. Unfortunately I never saw Sadie again.
About a year ago (I'm 22 now) I was thinking about Sadie and thought to myself, "I wonder how Sadie did in that obedience school in Montana." So, I decided to ask my parents about that. I said, "Hey mom, remember Sadie? Remember how you and Dad sent her to that obedience school in Montana? Did you ever get a progress report or anything from her about how she did over there?" My mom looked at me with a blank stare. "We never sent Sadie to a farm in Montana, we had her put to sleep."
Goddamnit.

I'm pretty sure that was a joke post. As an American, I cannot even begin to believe that there is more than one Europe.Furoba said:there's 2 Europes?
