Things I've already noticed/ways people notice I'm American.

- Irish people walk the same way they drive, on the opposite side as Americans. Lines for stores also form on the right.
- There is no such thing as "dressing on the side" when ordering a salad. I first asked for balsamic and got a blank stare back, then when she offered honey mustard, I accepted and asked if she could just put it on the side. When she came to bring me my salad she brought the container of dressing with her and asked if I just wanted her to pour it on one side of my bowl... I told her it was alright and she could just pour it all over the salad.
- "Tree" is the equivalent to "three"
- Scotch tape is referred to as cello-tape and only comes in bulk packaging.
- Most doors are "push" instead of "pull" and aren't labelled, which makes walking into a store/restaurant/my dorm more difficult than it should be.
- Coin dollars are obnoxious... And so am I when I try to use them.
