I have seen this post on http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2379305991 (through http://meneame.net :D). I love this post, because all points on it are true spanish customs! If the author forgive me, I'm going to write my favourite points xD

1) You think adding lemonade, fanta or even coke to red wine is perfectly acceptable. Especially at lunch time.

3) You aren't just surprised that the plumber/decorator has turned up on time, you're surprised he turned up at all.

4) You've been part of a botellon.

10) You're amazed when TV ad breaks last less than half an hour, especially right before the end of films.

12) You love the phenomenon of giving 'toques' - but hate explaining it in English.

15) You know what a pijo is and how to spot one.

16) Every sentence you speak contains at least one of these words: 'bueno,' 'coño,' 'vale,' 'venga,' 'pues nada'...

17) You know what 'resaca' means. And you had one at least once a week when you lived in Spain.

21) You know that after 2pm there's no point in going shopping, you might as well just have a siesta until 5 when the shops re-open.

23) You know how to change a bombona. And if you don't, you were either lazy or lucky enough to live somewhere nice.

29) You know the differenc between cojones and cajones, tener calor and estar caliente, bacalao and bakalao, pollo and polla...and maybe you learned the differences the hard way!

30) On a Sunday morning, you have breakfast before going to bed, not after you get up.

32) Floors in bars are an ideal dumping ground for your colillas, servilletas etc. Why use a bin?!

THE BEST: 35) When you burst out laughing every time you see a Mitsubishi Pajero

44) When you can recite with the Vodafone lady that your 'saldo está a punto de agotarse.'

46) When you know what a guiri is / have been called one

49) When you pay for something that's, say, 8.50, you always ask, 'Quieres el cincuenta?'

50) Blonde girls actually start to think their name is 'rubia'

Doubts about the points? Come to Spain to find the answers... or comment xDD

   I don't like red wine (I prefer beer :$) but the mixture isn't too bad...
   Here, in Jaen/Granada, somebody even mix strawberry cola with red wine.... xD
