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

If you were British, you would go to the lift.

You're on VACATION!! When else are you supposed to day drink?!

Wait til they get a load of my late morning whiskey! LOL

well, no judging here... but many Brits have quite early drinking habits for most of the world

guess it might depend where you are, I've seen early as noon. but then again can't BBQ, without for most. in the US

Or maybe you just ended your shift at work and your "evening" is just beginning. Mind your own f*****g business.

How is this an American thing? You weren't in America. It's the opinion of two tourists. He just didn't like being called out. Don't drink in a freaking elevator in the morning then.

We are a nation of drinkers, no question, we see beer in a strange context we want to drink it, the first time I went somewhere with beer in Mcdonalds, I was drinking beer with chicken nuggets and fries which of course tasted horrible but you know.........beer in Mcdonalds!!!!

I would have bought one too, no matter what time it was.

That's their own particular quirk. I was a bartender for 9 years on the day shift. More people drink at night, but there's a lot who drink during the day.

Sounds normal to me.

It's 5:00 somewhere...

Drinking doesn't always have to end with drunkenness. It's nice to have a drink at lunch.

American here. Do what you’d like. It’s none of my business and what I do is none of yours

Just like sleeping, it doesn't matter when just how much.

Like they say "It's 5 o'clock somewhere".

It's always night time somewhere. :)

They were jealous they can't day drink

As a Greek, I'm with the Americans on this one

And here you are for the weekly post expressing your distaste along with others about Americans

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.

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!)

Vile stuff

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.

I can legally buy a gun and hold a hunting license, I can legally get married, vote, make medical decisions, have a mortgage and go to an adult prison for legal infringements but cant enjoy a cold beer on a Saturday afternoon.
