Subtle signs you're not from round here

I’ve been in Germany for a couple of months now and of course there the obvious signs you’re not a local when you open your mouth.

Here are couple of other subtle ones I’m noticing:

I'm so used to putting my left foot down on the curbside when stopping on my bike I can't stop now I'm riding on the right. Hardly anyone else does that.
Germans wear their wedding rings on their right hands, we wear them on the left.

This list will update over time, keep checking back!
