oh this was just too funny to not post. this is from a facebook group called "you know you're from Atlanta when.."
-You give directions starting with, "Go down Peachtree" and include the phrase, "When you see the Waffle House."
-You only drink Coke or Diet Coke - drinking Pepsi is blasphemy.
-You know to wear sneakers to the airport.
-The 8:00 AM rush hour is from 6:30 to 10:30 AM. The 5:00 PM rush hour is from 3:00 to 7:30 PM. Friday's rush hour starts Thursday afternoon, and lasts through 2:00 AM Saturday.
-The falling of one rain drop causes all drivers to immediately forget all traffic rules.
-If a single snowflake falls, the city is paralyzed for three days, and it's on all the channels as a news flash every 15 minutes for a month. All the grocery stores will be sold out of milk, bread, bottled water, toilet paper, and beer.
-If there is a remote chance of snow, and if it does snow, people will be on the corner selling "I survived the blizzard" tee-shirts, not to mention the fact that all schools will close at the slightest possible chance of snow.
-If you are standing on a corner and a MARTA bus stops, you're expected to get on and go somewhere.
-Construction on Peachtree Street is a way of life and a permanent form of entertainment, especially when a water line is tapped and Atlanta's version of Old Faithful erupts.
-Construction crews are not doing their jobs properly unless they close down all major streets during rush hour.
-You know you're not allergic to pollen, because if you were - you'd be dead already.
-You've never gone around the block and ended up on the street you started on.
-You know at least five different ways to get to work, none of them ideal.
-You know what "sunshine slowdown", "auto-flambe'", "topside" mean, and what color a H.E.R.O. is.
-You know where PIB, JCB, FIB, MLK, PDK and "Grady curve" are, and you try to never go there during any of the nine hours of rush "hour".
-You've thought about getting a blow-up companion for the front passenger seat.
-You've been in traffic on 85, 75, 20 or 400 (choose one) - wondering if your fuel, your cell-phone battery and your bladder will make it to the next exit, just 1/2 mile ahead.
-You know every Peachtree St., Drive, Circle, Place, Boulevard, etc.
-You know all the words to "Welcome to Atlanta" and have actually been to a lot of those places.
-You know that half the stuff downtown was made for the Olympics.
-You have begun or ended the night at the BP on North Avenue.
-Yeah, the VARSITY is a very important landmark
-You're still afraid to go to White Water because of the E.Coli incident.
-You remember the "blizzard of '93" (aka a foot of snow).
-You've been to the Omni and Atlanta Fulton County Stadium.
-You will NEVER have sex with someone that went to Rockdale High School or lived in Rockdale county.
-Before there was Donald Trump or Bill Gates, there was Ted Turner.
-You DON'T hang out on the Westside if you don’t know anyone there.
-You spend more time waiting for MARTA trains than you would stuck in traffic.....or walking 20 miles for that matter.
-You understand the profound meaning of "Peace up, A-town down."
to anyone from atlanta: please enjoy. these are the best ones from the list.
