- You notice your car overheating before you drive it.
- You no longer associate bridges or rivers with water
- You can hear the weather forecast of 115 degrees without flinching
- You can be in the snow, then drive for an hour...and it will be over 100 degrees
- You discover, in July it only takes two fingers to drive your car, because your steering wheel is so hot
- The best parking is determined by shade...not distance
- You realize that 'Valley Fever' isn't a disco dance
- Hotter water comes from the cold water tap than the hot one
- It's noon in July, kids are on summer vacation and yet all the streets are totally empty of both cars and people
- You actually burn your hand opening the car door
- You can pronounce Saguaro, Tempe, San Xavier, Canyon de Chelly, Mogollon Rim, Cholla, Gila, and Tucson
- You can understand the reason for a town named 'Why'
- You know hot air balloons can't rise because the air temperature is hotter than the air inside the balloon
- You can say 'Hohokam' and people don't think you're laughing funny
- You think a red light is merely a suggestion
- You think someone driving wearing mitts is clever
- Most of the restaurants in town have the first name 'El' or 'Los'
- You think 60 tons of crushed red rock makes a beautiful yard

- You've lived in AZ your whole life and have never been to the Grand Canyon
- You have no idea why 48 other states (Hawaii doesn't do it either) insist on changing their clocks twice a year for this thing called 'daylight savings time' and you remember when Arizona tried DST and determined it stayed hot enough late enough in the day without giving the sun an extra hour.
- You can attend any function wearing shorts and a tank top
- You realize that asphalt has a liquid state
- You realize that snowbirds aren't really birds at all, but just really bad out of state drivers that you learn to hate
