I find it funny how some people personalize their vehicle or their home. I don’t know how it is around the world with this, but here in the Midwest and other parts of the United States are known to do this.

Example: if two or more people are walking back to their vehicles after some event they just left, the first person to reach their vehicle might identify the vehicle this way, “This is me.” The person could have said, “This is my car”, but I have heard the personalization many times. It’s just like if someone is being dropped off at home and tells the driver “This is me”, instead of “Here’s my home.” It’s not a big deal, I know. I have just always wondered how that originated.

Just be careful how you respond and don’t be too literal if someone uses the personalization . If you are dropping off your date at home and your date says, “Okay, this is me”, don’t respond with “Wow, you look old. Were you built in the 1920s?”
