  • You know San Diego?

    Found this and thought it was funny im not from SD but i am there like everyweekend so i got most of them down.



    You know you are from San Diego when....

    Your high school had a surf team.

    You can correctly pronounce Tierrasanta, La Jolla, Rancho Penasquitos,
    San Ysidro, Otay Mesa, Jamacha, Jamul, Cuyamaca, and El Cajon

    There are four distinct seasons: Summer, Not Quite Summer, Almost
    Summer, and Oh Hey! Look Its Summer Again

    Chula-juana is a real town.

    Your house is worth more than some small countries.

    You know what MB, OB, IB and PB stand for.

    Every street name is either in Spanish or Spanish related, and you're
    surprised when other areas don't have this.

    You can determine the accuracy of someone's "I'm ghetto" claim by
    knowing their high school. I.e.: El Camino High School or Crawford
    High School.

    You see weather forecasts for four different climate zones in the same
    county, and aren't remotely surprised. Ah, The Micro Climate Weather.

    You've gone to Mt. Soledad in July and know you still need a jacket.

    You've tailgated at Qualcomm Stadium, and for a bonus point, also
    tailgated when it was Jack Murphy Stadium.

    You have a favorite- the WAP or the Zoo

    You've seen an Imax movie at the Reuben H. Fleet
    Science Center

    You still call it the Del Mar Fair

    You say "I'm going to the track" and people know what you mean

    You understand what May-Gray and June-Gloom are.

    A famous skateboarder or surfer lives in your town

    You have no problem determining where North County, South Bay, and East
    County begin, but have no idea if or where Central County or West
    anything is.

    "Mossy Nissan! Mossy Nissan! Mossy Nissan Moves You!"

    You know what it means when two guys are walking in Hillcrest.

    You know what it means when a girl in a skirt is walking on El Cajon
    Blvd.

    You've gotten stuck in the Horton Plaza parking structure traffic after
    a Padres game.

    You know what "The Merge" is, and will plan your entire day around not
    being on it during rush hour.

    You've been to Belmont Park.

    You've taken the Coaster and laughed at people sitting in traffic on
    the 5.

    You call it "The 5" and the "The 805" as if they were important
    landmarks.

    You know the difference between Clairemont Mesa, Kearny Mesa, and Mira
    Mesa and maybe you remember Serra Mesa too.

    You've gone to Sea World on a warm day and sat in the first few rows at
    the Shamu Show to get cooled off.

    You've been delayed at the Border Checkpoints on the 5 and the15.

    There are more bands than people in Ocean Beach.

    Your house doesn't have air conditioning

    You know it's San Diegan, not San Diegoan, or San Diegoite.

    Everyone has their favorite beach, and no two are the same.

    No matter what the weather is, there is always someone walking around
    in a t-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops

    You live on, near or are surrounded by hills.

    You hate tourists and their bad driving. GET OFF THE ROAD NORTH DAKOTA,

    NOBODY WANTS YOU HERE. SERIOUSLY, GO HOME!!!

    You have family and or friends that have moved to Arizona

    You used to, and sometimes still do, ride the carousel at Seaport
    Village

    You know someone who doesn't own pants, and have a neighbor who doesn't
    seem to own a shirt.

    You know what Santa Ana's are and that they have nothing to do with the
    city of Santa Ana.

    If the menu doesn't have California burritos on it, forget it, its not
    authentic Mexican Food.

    And if you're NOT from San Diego, well, that's too bad. Lo Siento!

      I haven't lived in San Diego since 1998, but I knew almost every one of those. Ahhh.. the memories.

      Stay classy, San Diego.

        I've only lived here full tiem since 04 and I know every one of those.

        BTW, the ones about OB (Ocean Beach for the unknowing) are completely true. I have a neighbor who is a hardcore surfer, his garage is packed with nothing but surfboards, he does not seem to own a shirt, he is always in a pair of trunks and flip flops, and he is in one of the local bands to boot
