13 habits that only our person has

Do you have a bag of packages at home? Do you always sit down "on the track"? Do you tell jokes and say long toasts? Congratulations! You are our man. 

After all, only our girls can dress up for hours to go down to the store for bread, only our men are stingy with smiles for strangers, but they are as friendly as possible with friends, it is our people who always come to visit with gifts, even if it's just a cake and a pack of coffee. Look at what else our person is characterized by — if you nodded approvingly after reading each signature, then you are ours.

We like to look good. Sweatpants with outstretched knees and a green stretched T-shirt are not an option even for a regular trip to the store. But a cute dress and heels are the perfect outfit for a walk. And that's fine.

When the suitcases are already packed, we usually pause to sit quietly for a minute-on the track. Many people do not like this tradition, considering it a relic of the past, but this minute simply gives a respite in the turmoil of the fees.

Only the laziest Russian person will say a simple toast "To health!" or something like that. Seriously. We are always ready to hear long speeches and wishes. Because we have something to say.

We can start telling a story and suddenly exclaim: "Oh, it's like in that joke!" And we will definitely remember it. After all, we love to laugh.

Although according to the rules, you need to wish each other a light steam before the bath, we say "With a light steam!" exclusively after the bath or shower.

"How are you?" For foreigners, it is customary to answer this on-duty question with the on-duty "Okay, thank you!" If our person was asked how he is doing, then you need to answer truly and fully. No one tells their life for six months, but to give a sane answer about the current situation — why not?

We don't smile at people who just happened to meet our eyes. At least not in all 32. Our smiles are sincere-for friends, relatives and loved ones.

Christmas tree-for the New Year. Gifts — for the New Year. New Year is the main winter holiday. Christmas is celebrated by a much smaller number of people and much more modestly.

We often and with great pleasure hum songs and pronounce phrases from Soviet cartoons, preserving the intonation and voice of the characters, not at all embarrassed by outsiders. Has anyone tried quoting foreign cartoons? Apart from Woody the woodpecker's laughter and the song about Chip and Dale, I don't remember anything at all. And in our good old movies and cartoons, there is so much meaning that you can rethink it until the end of your life.

If we want to call the waitress, we shout: "Girl!" If we address a 40-year-old woman, we call her "girl". Any woman whom the tongue turns to call a girl is a girl for us. And everyone is happy.

When we gather together for dinner, we sit down at the table, have dinner and talk. Then we just talk, then we eat and talk, then we drink tea and talk, and even when we go home, we stand on the threshold and talk for some time. We like to chat and eat. Especially salads with mayonnaise.

Seriously, probably every house has a bag of packages. And after all, they are used…

It can be a cake or wine for dinner, chocolate or flowers (provided that there are an odd number of them). In fact, it doesn't matter what it is, the main thing is to bring something. Because "well, you won't come empty-handed."
