Indian - defined

Below is hilarious. I have lots of Indian friends and I truly can relate people to almost all of the below (several times):
------------------------------------------
You know you are Indian if.....

1. You unwrap all your gifts carefully, so that you can reuse the wrapping.

2 You don't have genuine Tupperware, only use margarine, ice-cream and yoghurt tubs.

3. You call an older person you've never met before 'uncle' or 'aunty.'

4. More than 90% of the music CD's and cassettes in your home are illegal copies.

5. Your garage is always full of stuff because you never throw anything away, just in case you need it someday.

6. You have a collection of miniature shampoo bottle from your stays at hotels.

7. You have almost always overweight baggage when travelling by plane.

8. If a store has a limit on the quantity of a product, then each member of the family will join separate queues to purchase the maximum quantity possible.

9. All children have annoying nicknames.

10. Nobody in your family informs you that they are coming over for a visit.

11. You stuff your pockets with, mints and toothpicks at restaurants.

12. Your family member has a minor disagreement with another family member and does not talk to her for 10 years.

13. You only make telephone calls night because it is at a cheaper rate.

14. You teach others swear words in your language.

15. You never have less than 20 people to meet you at the airport or see you off even if it is a local flight

16. You keep changing your Internet Service Provider because the first month is free

17. Office supplies mysteriously find their way to your home.

18. You don't buy a printer because it is cheaper to do it at work.

19. You wash your car on a Sunday.

20. Weddings never start at the appointed time.

21. You always lie about the ages of your children if they have to pay higher admission fees.

22. When you are young, your parents buy you clothes at least two sizes too big so that they would last longer

23. At least one of your uncles is a teacher.

24. You have a 10 kg bag of rice in the kitchen.

25. You always read the Sport sections of the Sunday newspapers first.

26. You have a no job and car, but you still stay with your parents.

27. You have a party for a one-year old, and there's more adults than children.

I'll have you know I have a 20lb bag of rice in my kitchen-less than 3 lbs left!

It's creepy how accurate some of these are, though I suspect they would apply to others besides Indians as well!
