"A friend of mine is Russian. Her parents came to Russia and were still getting used to America. In Russia when you are pulled over by the police you get of the car and walk over to them. Her dad got pulled over and so he got out and started walking towards them. He didn’t know you are supposed to stay in the car. He learned that lesson very quickly.
He didn’t die they didn’t even shoot at him. He did get arrested though."
"Sounding like someone cares about you or your answers when they talk, when all they really care is following their scripts, for tip, sales revenue, door sales etc. The tipping culture. Why tell a burger costs $9.99 when with tax you are supposed to pay $11.25 and are supposed to tip at least 20% to not seem like a cheapskate? When the waitstaff works for under $3 a hour... just make it $15 and pay adequately, please"
"Not a social custom, but when i returned from my study abroad in Europe back to the US, I realized how enormous everything is here. The houses, cars, stores, drinks, food portions, and unfortunately many of the people."
"My wife is an immigrant so I'll pass on that she struggled with.The way many American families raise their children until age 18, then send them out the door to make it or beak it in the world. In many other countries, you never stop helping your children by paying for more education (Vo-Tech or college/university) and trying to avoid student loans, they always have a place to live free of rent, and are quite involved in everyday life of the parents, even if just by phone."
"I moved to Minnesota two years ago. At first I thought I would make friends super easy because people where really friendly but I soon learnt that nobody wanted to make friends. I was mistaking people’s inquisitive nature and need to overshare for genuine friendship foundation laying. I’m from the UK and usually if someone asks you for a beer and chat they want to get to know you, here in the US I’m just an interesting story to tell their real friends about. I found this upsetting at first, but I stopped caring and I did actually make a few good friends in the end."
Countries do other things, wow what a concept.
The dog has spoken.
problem is that u cant flee from the US stupidity
#usworlddominationtour
Americans don't care what you think about America
we don't wake up thinking "oh god, i hope the world doesn't hate me today"
we could care less what you think and it seems to bother you more than it will ever bother us
people who came her came to get away from the stupidity that is the rest of the world
you dragged us into 2 wars and from the looks of it now the rest of the world hasn't changed one bit
i'm glad you cant get away from our stupidity, it means we'll never have to deal with you here because it sounds like you'll never come here
1. Voting (long ago) to use PI=3 (it fell through...).
2.Trying to use the metric system, then rejecting it (how dumb are you people?). 3. The sh#tty health care system, I'm bypass-operated and a diabetic since age 60 (I'm 76 now). This has cost me to date 32000 NKR/3300 USD in medicines, the operation AND hospital stay was free/gratis. Wake up or f.... off, USA!
Hugo.
How dumb are we? We've were the first to the moon, using the imperial system. You Norwegians haven't, and you have the metric system. If we're dumb, then what are you for having the metric system and yet not going to the moon, Hugo?
Don't you have a cloud to go yell at?
I was born in a communist country, in Hungary, because USA helped occupy my country to the Sovietunion.
I left and only go back for vacation. Yes, better opportunities here. Covid has destroyed the USA.
In Greece.
America don't care
Yes, they're far to proud to admit when they're wrong or when someone else does it better (just like dear leader)
Again, if you guys dont care about our opinion, why ard you reacting so fiercly?
Because rampant stupidity p!$$es us off.
How many MAGA hats do you have?
That explains why you hate yourself then
That's a great example! Now you're getting it!
No, it's because the rest of the 196 countries in the world have worked out how to do sh#t properly.
Like spelling weird.
I wish we used the metric system, much easier.
Date format makes no sense.
I wish tax was included in the listed price. So many things have extra hidden fees, tax being one of them.
Healthcare would be great, its such a risk and my insurance costs more than any tax increase would be.
Tipping I am neutral about. I could go either way. Its nice to reward good service with an extra large tip, but since most don't, the worker industry really suffers.
Finally, a sensible American in the comments section!
It's a WORLD WIDE web, not just an American one, FFS.
Yes, but Barack Hussein Obama has been out of the White House for almost 4 years now. Please update your calendar accordingly. It is now 2020.
If you can't take knowing what people from other places think about our future, the I hope you never travel. You are why we get the ugly American rep.
I hate American auto correct, half my words change when I post here.
