"You know you're from DFW when..." — the definitive thread

Add yours. I'll start.

You know you're from DFW when...

  • You measure distance in minutes, never miles. "It's about 25 minutes from here."
  • You've sat in the Buc-ee's parking lot and questioned all your life choices
  • You have strong opinions about which Whataburger location is the best one
  • You call it "the mix-master" and everyone knows exactly what you mean
  • 65 degrees is "freezing" and 95 degrees is "not even that hot"
  • You've been to NorthPark Mall 47 times and still don't know where you parked
  • Your car has hail damage and you just... accepted it
  • You know that "75 Central" and "US-75" and "Central Expressway" are all the same road
  • You've debated Dallas vs Fort Worth at least once this week
  • You've been stuck behind a truck going 45 on a 70mph highway and felt nothing because you're dead inside
  • You consider anything north of McKinney to be "Oklahoma, basically"
  • You've told someone "oh that's only 30 minutes away" when it was actually an hour
  • You know at least 3 people who've had their car broken into
  • "The star" could mean the Cowboys, the State Fair, or the TV show, depending on context

Your turn. What did I miss?
