#standard

Fellow volunteer Kelly and I are always complaining about things here, and after most of what we say, we inset the word “standard”. In that same spirit, I've noted some of the things I consider standard that definitely aren't, and I'm asking you, the reader, to determine the top 5. In two weeks, I'll reveal the results, and explain in detail, each of those ridiculous occurrences.

• The critters that have taken over my house
• having a package take 3+ months to reach me
• daily marriage proposals
• the amount of time traveling short distances goes
• having paparazzi
• me screaming at people (daily)
• the beating of women and children
• “food” = rice, fish, spicy peppers, and harmful microbes
• cramming 8+ people into a 5 person car
• having at least 75% students fail exams
• explaining the US is in North America
• having to give my food to complete strangers
• how d'body, how d'business
• no electricity, no running water

While some of those things are pretty serious, this is supposed to be entertaining. Let me know your top 5 and feel free to submit anything ridiculous that I forgot to mention!
