I stumbled upon this list, and, knowing me, I’m sure I can cross a few things off this list.
- Stand to the left on an escalator.
I’ve lost count on how many times I’ve done this. Oops. - Maye Eye Contact.
Yep. - Smile.
90% of the time. This is going great! - Tell people to smile.
I haven’t done that- yet. - Start a conversation.
Well, yeah. Darn it. - Take pictures of people.
Haven’t done that, either! 🙂 - Ask people to take a picture of you.
I hate having my Picture taken, hate, hate, hate. - Ask for directions.
Soooo many times! I have no sense of direction. - Eat in public.
Of course I have! Stupid. - Eat on public transport.
Yeees. - Be unnecessarily loud in public.
I’m a very quiet person 🙂 - Have a phone conversation on public transport.
Whenever that happens, I usually speak Swedish, so no one really understands me, anyway 🙂 - Engage in public displays of affection.
Countless times. Starting to think the Brits are robots. - Be a tourist.
For the first year I was a tourist. Now, not so much. - Be from London.
Hard to be, since I’m Swedish. - Mimick a Cockney accent.
I’d probably offend people if I tried to do that… - Read a newspaper on the tube.
Done that! - Read it over someone elses shoulder.
Done that, too! - Ask where the Queen lives.
No need to, I know where she lives. - Insult the Queen.
Haven’t gotten around to do that yet! - Play music so that everyone can hear.
Nope. - Put your bag on the seat next to you.
Yep. - Wear a backpack on the tube.
Don’t own a backpack. - Drag a wheeled suitcase behind you.
Yep. - Walk to slowly.
I don’t think I do. - Stop in the middle of the pavement.
Might have happened once or twice. - Insult London.
Never!
Final Count: 16/27! I’ve apparently done lots of things I shouldn’t have done. Well, the Brits are robots, so there!
