Living the American Dream

Only in Naperville.....

Ten things I have observed here which would never happen in England.

  1. People can safely leave their houses unlocked when they go out.
  2. You can leave a cell/mobile phone on your car seat and it will still be there when you return.
  3. Construction workers help little old ladies across the street, telling them to "have a nice day."
  4. People can leave their car windows open and still find their cars where they left them on their return.
  5. Fedex drivers can leave their vans with the doors open wide and the keys in the ignition and still find them there on their return.
  6. Pedestrians call out "thank you" when you stop for them.
  7. Teenagers say "excuse me" when they pass you on the street.
  8. Assistants in the aisles of supermarkets will stop and ask if you need any help finding anything.
  9. You can find a space to park for free.
  10. When you walk past a stranger in the street, they will smile and say "hallo".

  • You will not find too much politeness here in South Florida! Good luck in finding any good customer service let alone finding someone who even speaks english!
