Stereotypes aren’t always appropriate, but it’s also important to know when and how to laugh at yourself, right? These 15 Canadians are 100% sure the moments below stopped them in their tracks, and made them laugh and think, “Damn, I am such a Canadian right now.

”

#15. Sorry for the mess

“Got tooth knocked out playing hockey. With blood spewing from my mouth I started apologizing to the ref for making a mess on the ice.”

#14. Polite to the nth degree

“An old lady called me and had the wrong number.

We talked on the phone for 45 minutes.”

#13. Just a normal Wednesday in Canada

“Went out in a blizzard in just t-shirt and jeans to help push a stranger’s car out of a snow drift, in March.”

#12. You know what I’m talking about

“I’ve always thought passive aggressiveness was a truly Canadian trait—don’t want to be outright rude, but you want to get your point across.

Typically, when some one is being ignorant of how much space they’re taking up or if they’re blocking something I need to get at, I’ll use the old “I’m just gonna sneak right past you”. If you’re Canadian and you’ve seen those Petro Canada ads, then you know what I’m talking about.”
