1. Taking the gold wrapper off a Ferrero Rocher
The most glamorous chocolate of them all.
2. Taking a taxi to the airport and getting to say, “Dublin Airport, please?” to the taxi driver as if you’re an international person of business
While you fiddle with your phone and tend to important business*.
(* = stalking people on Instagram.)
3. Getting the opportunity to wear sunglasses
Even if they cost €9 in Penneys, they still make you feel like someone from the CONTINENT.
4. Paying for something by contactless
So sleek, so effortless.
5. When you manage to tie your massive woolly scarf in such a way that you look toasty and elegant, but not suffocated
6. When you successfully tie your hair in a “messy bun” that’s actually acceptable to wear outside
It says “I’m so busy that I didn’t have time to wash my hair, but I’m still extremely chic and have already bought my 2016 diary”.
7. Checking your diary to see if you’re free on a certain day
“One sec and I’ll just check my diary.”
*glances through page that’s completely empty except for one day that reads RENT DUE*
“Yep, I’m free. Just had to check because I’m so busy and all.”
8. Someone offering to take your coat
Even if you sheepishly respond, “Oh no, it’s grand” and end up sitting on it for the night.
9. When you’re washing your hands in a fancy bathroom… And there’s soap and hand cream
I’m so fancy, etc.
10. When someone calls you “Miss” or “Sir”
Call me Laura, don’t be silly!
*blushes*
11. Getting handed a glass of Prosecco WITH a strawberry in it
Just call me Kate Middleton, tbh.
12. Having a seat pre-booked on the train
