If you leave your house at the exact time that the event you're going to is supposed to start, no matter how far you live from the place. (USUALLY KNOWN AS *PST*: Persian Standard Time)
If you talk with your friends on your cell phone while you are still able to see them in the distance.
If you have Thanksgiving dinner with "berenj"(RICE), and "khoresht."(STEW) *
If your mother fishes for compliments after the dinner, proclaiming to everyone that the "berenj"(RICE) and "khoresht"(STEW) needed more "namak."(SALT) *(ONLY APPLIES TO THE MOTHERS WHO COOK, SOME MOTHERS HAVE THEIR MAIDES COOK FOR THEM AFTER THEY HAVE TAUGHT THEM HOW)*
If after a family meal, there is a fight to the death over who should wash the dishes while the men sit on their behinds and play cards, waiting for their tea.
If you are so anxious to watch the Iranian show on Sundays, you are willing to sit through 5 minutes of Korean game shows so you don't miss the beginning. (THIS ONLY APPLIES TO THE ADULTS)
If you call everyone you know as soon as there is an American nightly news show doing a story about Iran or someone from Iran.
If you have your own "beeziness"(BUSINESS) yet you have never seen a 1040 tax form.
If you have your own "beeziness"(BUSINESS) yet you are a "doaktor"(DOCTOR), or a "mohandess".
If you come to this country every few months to pick up your social security checks yet you don’t speak a word of English, and you have never actually worked in this country.
If your child is "Shagerd-eh avall"(#1 STUDENT) in his school.
(This applies only to the boys. The girls know that they are going to get married and live off of their husband’s money, no matter how old he may be, as long as he can buy her Gucci products.)
If you spend your life savings on a BMW, a Mercedes Benz, or any other expensive car just so you can seem rich to other Persians. If you study at UCI (University of Cherah Injah-hastam) (UNIVERSITY OF WHY AM I HERE) and you complain to your friends in Farsi about how the Asians never speak English.
