I got one to add to the list...
Your parents have to go to two places when shopping for groceries. The regular supermarket and the Asian market, even if its far (for certain ingredients or foods not found anywhere else)

You have to call just about all your parent's friends "Auntie and Uncle" [sometimes people you don't even know..]
You have 12+ aunts and uncles [100+..]
At expensive restaurants, you order a delicious glass of water for your beverage and NEVER order dessert ["you can have soda at home!"]
Your parents simply cut the green/black part off the bread and say "Eat anyway. It's still good." [cheeze too..]

When going to other people's houses, you always have to bring a gift [pears and shiet]

Your parents tell you about how long it took for them to get to school, how horrible the weather was in their native country, and how much they still appreciated going [yes everyday]

Rep Power: 0 HAHA. my grandfather reuses napkins for so long. he'll use the same napkin for four or five meals. just folds it up and stores it for lunch/dinner/etc. 
what a weirdo.
ALSO, he buys these special paper towel rolls that have "half-sheets," so he doesn't have to use a WHOLE square. god, i never even knew they existed before i saw them at his house.
