You make Turkish coffee before leaving home, when getting to the office, after lunch, when having guests, before the guests leave, after the guests leave, and before going to bed.
You call an older person you’ve never met before “Ammo” (uncle) and “Khalto” (aunt).
Every time you fly back home you meet relatives you never knew existed, and they look nothing like your family.
You curse many of the Lebanese when you are at home, but when you are abroad you mostly make friends with Lebanese.
You teach westerners to swear words in your language.
You ask your dad a simple question and he tells you a story of how he had to walk miles just to get to school.
Your parents were ranked first at school.
Your dad swears at you with words that affect him.
You walk on the streets in groups of 7 or more people and talk really really loud in Lebanese together.

I read this a long, long time ago, it was about Arabs in general but I guess someone altered it, they are funny and somewhat true though. Except for these two of course,

long time not seen Hestia, but isn't it true that sometimes parents tell their kids that they were ranked first in school when children get low grades :S, and if you doubt the other one come hear me and my friends talking while having a walk! The lebanese can be really noisy sometimes :S It's not hard to spy on the Lebanese
