Super awkward when I go to the Bahamas.

I have to remind myself like a mantra or I’ll be in trouble.

The correct way to drive is how we in the USA drive. Cars should always drive on the left side of the double yellow line. Cars should always have the steering wheel on the left.
The metric system is also ridiculous as is utilizing kilograms. Please use poundages.

The time change during Daylight Savings is bizarre as well. That should be eliminated. Time zones are also stupid.

Banks and post offices closing on Veterans Day also makes no sense. What if a veteran needed to cash an important check or was waiting on an important piece of mail to arrive? How is closing banks a way to honor veterans? It’s ridiculous that the bank employees who are not veterans get the day off. Why do they get a paid day off when they’re not veterans?
