Hanging around Americans for so long means my car no longer recognises my slight mid-Atlantic accent.

Because there was another guy in the men's toilets, we both had to wash our hands like we were going to perform surgery or something.

The SNCF Swiss website doesn't accept Postfinance card as a method of payment.

Not only that, but the CHF converted prices for the TGV Lyria on both SNCF and CFF still use the peg rate of exchange from EUR.

My baby sprouted his first two teeth.

I only noticed them because he used them to viciously bite my nipple while nursing!

Just got some suits dry-cleaned and ready for a big 3-day meeting, and now they tell us that the dress code is business casual. Nothing to wear.

My iPhone keeps on capitalising the word 'apple' in my shopping list, but funnily enough not cantaloupe, guava, kiwi or lychee.

Self-important POS

Teaches you to be so vague and uncommital.

I normally write "brambley" or "granny smith" and never have this problem.

Isn't business casual = suit minus jacket and tie?

I don't spend hundreds of [insert currency] on iCrap and buy phones that don't autocorrect normal words into smut...

Not necessarily for women?

In Europe it's suit minus tie, while our American colleagues will show up in polo shirts. And it's a total pain for women. So everybody will look either over- or underdressed, depending on whom they're talking to at the moment.

I would just turn off autocorrect. I did when I had an iDevice; with my Samsung there is the option for autocorrect but also the option to have the three suggested spellings above the keyboard. I turn off the former but keep the latter - works a charm.

Had my first formal French class today (two week intensive for level A1/A2).

Made so many basic mistakes in class today that I wouldn't normally outside of class. Felt like you prepared for an exam and then you stuff up when you sit it.

Yes I know it is all part of the learning experience, but still felt like a dope and that's why I'm posting here.

Wha!? Most certainly not. That's what I wear for conference presentations or interviews.

No, more like smart jeans (dark colour, not faded, not torn) and a normal long-sleeved collared shirt.

That's just casual...

You really don't even wear a tie to interviews???? In this country?
