There are many instances or situations that we all come across at some point in our lifetime. We all have expectations on how we assume we would handle a specific situation, but that isn't always the case. Rather, we are met with the reality in which we live in, whether it be good or bad. However, everyone can handle their own situation depending on their beliefs, morals or where they come from. In this case, we are going to focus on where you come from. We all say and do some things a different way because that's where we're from and it makes us who we are. These expectations are met with the reality of how someone from New Jersey would respond to the given situations.

1st Instance: The family decides to go down the shore for the weekend, but wants to leave earlier to beat traffic.

Expectation: There may be some traffic, but not as much if we had left much later.

New Jersey Reality: Your family beats the traffic, but now you're waiting on detours because three exits were closed for road work and every E-ZPass lane is closed for maintenance. Now your parents make you look for the exact change they'll need for the cash-only lane that is, of course, now backed up.

2nd Instance: You wait until the last possible minute to get gas, and now if you don't hurry up, you will be late for work.

Expectation: There should another gas station coming up soon (hopefully there won't be a line).

New Jersey Reality: By the time you find a gas station, your car almost didn't make it and to make things worse, there is a very long line to wait in. But finally, it's your turn and the guy goes back in to the convenience store to get change, but you never get out of the car and just pump the gas yourself because you are from New Jersey!

3rd Instance: You are going out and find yourself rushing while driving for no reason, because people from New Jersey are in a rush to go nowhere (and the person in front of you is driving really slow).

Expectation: Maybe the person will hurry up and you can continue rushing to nowhere important.

New Jersey Reality: You slam on your horn while yelling, "Let's go, I'm late!" to yourself and anyone else in the car because this guy is really starting to make you mad.

4th Instance: The family is deciding where to go for dinner.

Expectation: Everyone will just agree on something, so we can just eat already because we're all starving.

New Jersey Reality: Mom said she wanted Chinese and your sister wants Italian, but your brother wants Mexican, you really wanted to try the new restaurant in town. However, after careful consideration, Dad decides we are all going to the diner because no one can agree on anything.
