Public toilet door gaps.
What the fuck, you guys?
Your feet fetish… For the measurement called feet that is.
You let your president stay in power for two and a half months after you vote him out, with the power to do almost anything he wants.
How ‘fucking enormous’ is classed as ‘medium’. In both people, drinks, and portion size.
The portion sizes
As a Canadian, I find it strange that other Americans HATE Texas, but 99% of Canadians love it because to us it’s the most American and entertaining.
How American towns and cities are generally designed so that you have to drive everywhere.
The political system
your taxes not being added beforehand to the price of groceries? it’s the most backwards thing ever
Holstered guns by regular people. I’ve never seen that except for police officers in Canada.
Every state has their own language and own culture. Different areas of the country are basically like different countries. Alabama is nothing like Vermont lol so on and so forth.
Portion sizes. If I wasn’t there on vacay, I could take the leftovers and have 3 meals.
I’m Canadian
We aren’t living in igloos you guys
why do they deny that they are not as cool as canadians??
Saying the pledge in school. In Texas we say the state pledge too.
A sport named “Football” but the players play it with their hands most of the time.
Healthcare. I don’t understand why there aren’t riots in the streets to do something about universal healthcare, especially as it seems the majority of Americans seem to straight up avoid engaging with any healthcare service as much as possible even when absolutely needed.
Your measurement system
That your kids basically swear an oath of fealty to your flag every morning from the age of (I assume) 5…
Folks, that’s not “Land of the Free” behaviour; that’s totalitarian dictatorship behaviour.
Making kids say their pledge of allegiance every morning. It’s like something out of a fucking cult.
School shootings.
I was in Los Angeles many years ago and I found all the customer service super polite and friendly to the point it seemed unnatural. I reflected on it for ages, wondering if this constant “yes sir, yes ma’am” smiley subservient approach to customers could result in entitled adults. It seemed unhealthy. Unnatural. Then a little virus came along and the internet filled with videos showing entitled, tantrum-throwing American adults showing their true colours.
Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I tried them and I don’t get it. Sorry.
Americans treat bagged milk like the anti-christ.
In the countrys that I’ve been, which are Canada and Brazil, they are treated normally, and they are quite delicious if you like sweets
Your portion size. Your people size. Your strange aversion to universal healthcare. Your weird obsession with guns.
Over sized food portions. Why, just why?
How many Americans don’t have passports
Absence of geography and history in elementary school
When I moved here in the US I was super confused on how they didn’t have geography or history
The way they (some ppl) always say america=USA
Honestly, Electoral College.
I don’t understand why is not as simple as majority of votes win.
Somebody could explain this to me?
Going to a restaurant and having to pay the staff’s wages instead of the business owner paying them… like they should.
The level of fear with which you regard everything around you. The smallest thing can turn into a kill or be killed situation.
The obsession with politics
Creditscores, the fact that the tax isnt included to the price automaticly, the healtcaresystem. And very many other things. :’D
You’re inability as a culture to recognize and reconcile your own culture
The people
