You pronounce your p's as b's ( bolice and airblane)
You make coffee or tea before leaving home, when getting to the office, after lunch, when having
guests, before the guests leave, after the guests leave and before going to bed.

You talk for an hour at the front door when leaving someone's
house.
When your parents meet strangers and talk for a few minutes,
you discover you're talking to a distant cousin.
Your parents don't realize phone connections to foreign countries have improved in the last two
decades,
and still scream at the top of their lungs when making long distance calls.
You say bye 17 times on the phone. ...
After a family meal, the women fight to the death over who
should wash the dishes while the men sit on their behinds and discuss politics, waiting for their
tea. ..
One of your aunt's weighs over 300 pounds. ...
Every time you fly back home you meet relatives you never knew
existed, and they look nothing like your family.
You tell your friends how to rebel against their parents when you
can't even stay out past midnight.
You fight over who's going to pay the bill
Your family is over at your house all the time
You always say "Open the light" instead of "Turn the light on"

At weddings it takes 4 hours for the guests to kiss and say salam to the bride and groom.

Your middle name is your father's first name.
If you are male, you're named after your grandfather or great-grandfather.
You play cards till the break of dawn.
You can spot an EGYPTIAN a mile away and they have spotted at you

go to at 4 ...you show up at 6.
When shops have a sale, they call your mom.

Your mother yells at the top of her lungs to call you to dinner even if you're in the next room.
You have told your or a relative's kid not to walk the floor barefoot or
they'll catch a cold. ..
Your relatives alone could populate a small city.
When you go on a date you start thinking of lousy places where
nobody would go to so you won't bump into family or friends.
You end up in a lousy place and still bump into the relative
