Mhm! Exactly!

Yeah, that also bothered me as well

This weirds me out every time

Religion should have no room in politics anywhere. (But for positive values such as grace of charity.)

that's just SAD , very , very SAD

Anything about the so-called American health system is a mystery to the rest of the world.

Not only to Brits!

What an awful soulless place. And I'm guessing the only reason they give them what looks like expensive chairs is so they don't get sued for workplace injury.

Are greeters real? I thought the Simpson's was exaggerating. I guess in a country so massive, you gta find a way to stand out? Still seems weird tho

This varies in the US too. In most cities it's normal not to have a car, but not in places where most people don't live within walking distance to anything.

not in the US.....

Americans love a good discount too.

We're not the only ones doing that. No one seems to blink at the audacity of the Miss Universe beauty contest, where Earth seems to win every time.

In the UK, a durex is (or used to be) a condom. In Australia, it's sticky tape. Best not to get them confused.

Again, horrifying everywhere in the world

This is horrifying for the rest of the world not just the UK!!

I would have been too!

Respect the queue! This should be everywhere!

On the tube, there's absolutely no reason to "hold the door". The next one will be in in a few minutes, and you will just be a little late. By holding, everyone on the train will be late, and there is actually a possibility that it travels down the line, delaying several trains.

That would be weird.

"supersize me"

What's particularly wrong with day drinking? I mean, night won't reduce your drunkenness

This happens in the UK too. I am a woman and I traveled by train with a suitcase too heavy for me to lift and always some lovely man immediately assisted me with getting on and off.

Child beauty pageants are absolutely disgusting and should be banned for sexualizing little girls.

I miss the days when pharma ads just weren't a thing. I also hate opening a magazine, or a website, and seeing pharma ads. ARGH.

You know America is going through a pretty shitty time right now .. And with the pandemic there's global depression and grief too.. How about we post a few articles about cool, interesting, fun positive stuff about America? Back to back articles about how weird/awful the usa is, thats harmful. You know.. build people up?

The side effects are fun to listen to, though!

Everyone I know stopped watching TV ages ago because of excessive commercials. One day they will sell that bandwidth for cellphones and tv will be gone and they did it to themselves.

Good manners are everywhere. Thank goodness. As I age, it is more difficult to do the everyday things without some assistance. Thank you to every stranger that took the time and effort to lend a hand.

get a better catheter !

no tv tax in the states commercials pay the overpaid actors and news readers

The commercial lengths and cold beauty pageants get me, to, but what ever happened to chivalry?

Right there with you with pharmaceutical and all adds (although I think that all of the warning about the great drugs are kind of funny). Runaway capitalism and consumerism. I hate it

They're not commercials, they're mini infomercials and the whole reason DVR's became a thing. I haven't watched commercials in many years. I don't get why they advertise them anyway, it's not like we can just go and pick them up.

When exploring the desert, of course we stop to help complete strangers. We accept help too.

That's horrifying!

To me, this sounds like a good style. How would you address a stranger in the UK?

I fear this one may be culturally appropriated - I'm in the UK and have worked for people who have done this, and been "encouraged" to do this myself. I have offered once (but that was because it was a big, serious project, and my time off was looking after the MIL's house for two days and I was BORED!)

What else should we do with all this corn we grow? Feed the world? Bio-fuel these machines? Nope. Lets make something like sugar, but way worse for you.

Aussie, aussie, aussie, oi oi oi.

While talking about american cinemas, why don't they have seat reservation? In Sweden, we book in advance, choosing our seats by how many we are, where the screen is and availability.
