Secretly British

For the last few months, I've been following the tweets of "Very British Problems." It's full of terrifying things that happen on a daily basis to Brits and it's fairly hilarious!  This one is my favorite because I've totally done this before!  Anyway, I know in Britain that they also have a television show that goes along with the account, full of British people talking about their problems.  But I didn't know that it would come to American Netflix.  

You can probably guess what I've been doing the last 2 nights.  I love it!  It's way too funny and it's the perfect accompaniment to crafting.  I enjoy it immensely more than I probably should.  However, I also get just a little creeped out.  They tend to pick on us Americans quite a bit.  That's not why I'm creeped out though - we totally deserve it.  I totally side with the Brits rather than my fellow Americans in every single instance.  No, I get creeped out because I've become even more certain that I'm actually British and everyone around me has just hidden that fact for the last 33 years.  

Here's a list of the things that they've described as "Very British" that I do on a daily basis.

~ Never reclining your seat on an airplane because it's just rude to the person behind you.  I absolutely refuse to do this.

~ Getting physically ill thinking about having to haggle the price of something. - Just give me a price.  Even if it's ridiculous, I'll probably buy it from you since I've wasted your time asking for the price already.

~ Going James Bond on vacation trying to avoid people that want to be your new best friends and want to talk your ears off. - Please leave me alone.  I'm awkward enough at home, let alone while on the beach.

~ Saying the words "I'm sorry" incessantly, even if you've done absolutely nothing wrong. - I often apologize when someone bumps me with their shopping cart or if someone is in my way.

~ Explaining your gifts to people just so they know you've actually put thought into it and then apologizing if they don't seem to like it.

~ The complete inability to take a compliment with grace.  - I have no idea what to say when someone compliments me.  I flush, and mumble a thank you or wave it off with a "Oh, it's nothing really."

And this is just 3 episodes in.  I've got 5 more to watch.  I can't imagine how many more similarities I'll find.  Do you think the UK would grant me citizenship on these traits alone?
