You know you've been in The Netherlands too long when you look in the office fridge for milk, find out there is none, and start going through the 5 stages of grief.
1. Shock and Denial - "What do you mean the interns forgot to buy milk? That can't be true!"
2. Pain and Guilt - "Maybe I should have said something earlier?"
3. Anger and Bargaining - "You mean, I'll have to go get Milk?! That's not MY job! If I give you 2 EU, will you go down to the store and get some milk?"
4. Depression, Reflection, Loneliness - " *sob* But I don't want black coffee. I remember what milky coffee used to taste like. It's not the same without you, milk."
5. Acceptance - "I'll be ok. Maybe there'll be milk in the fridge tomorrow?"
