1. your only shoes are open toed
2. your only socks are thick wool ones
3. you think a winter coat is a heavy sweater
4. lunch break is at least an hour
5. coffee break is at least an hour
6. you have water ‘police’ as neighbours
7. you wear shorts year round
8. your main food group is green
9. you know the difference between vegans and vegetarians
10. you can taste the difference in the bud
