I understand why you live here. We've got a pretty mild climate, gorgeous beaches, and mountains to marvel at. Our beer is better than anyone else and don't even get me started on the coffee.

But have you ever wondered if maybe you're spending too much time in the city? Perhaps you've folded away one too many pairs of Wonder Under's and are thinking to yourself...is this too much?

Unsure how to tell? Read below and keep score, how many of these are you guilty of?

1. You have a yoga membership.

You use it but it's more about telling people you have it.

2. You refuse to go to a chain coffee shop unless it's Vancouver-based.

Shout out to JJ Bean.

3. You can't even fathom the thought of littering.

4. Or the idea of not recycling your smoothie cup.

Even though we rarely win and 2011 is still burning in your memories.
