It makes sense to start with the day, but I guess it's what you get used to

it should be called Handegg!

We choose from a lot more at first, eventually narrowing it down to two and choosing from them.

This also goes for strict gun laws. Why do Americans think strict gun laws won't work in their country when it works in literally all other developed countries?

As an irish person I dont mind it, it is nice for people to be proud of their heritage. What I do mind is when they ask do I know paddy mcsomething from donegal. I know Ireland's small but we don't all live in one village. Oh and the accent impersonations are damn annoying...although in my experience the English are the worst for imitating accents.

The other day when they announced America now has the highest C19 infections of any country an american in the comments said "BS, I'm sure Europe has more". Seems some Americans think Europe is a country.

Why was fahrenheit even invented? The metric system just makes so much more sense. Freezing point is 0C and boiling point is 100C. A litre is 1000millilitres, 100 centimetres is 1 metre etc.

thats not just American. I think it depends on the person. I have local friends who do and local friends who dont, and American friends who do and dont.

I don't know about other Americans, but at our house, we just call it TUNA.

Because you don't need a bloody scale to measure grams. All you need is a simple cup with lines. DUH!

Well actually, most of the time we say that we don't give a s**t, so.....

I tried changing it to "the poopery" but people won't listen to me

I don't think that, nor have I ever thought that. I don't know anyone who does. Where did you even come up with that nonsense.

I don't think I know anybody who lives like they have free healthcare - quite the opposite actually. "Is it truly bad enough to go see a doctor or can we survive without going"? Nobody want those bills that follows a doctors visit!!

Some Americans also love making fun of people who speak English with a foreign accent, when they themselves can only speak one language

Anything to not use the metric system whats next: glazed donuts per bald eagle who knows

I hear it said at least 3 different ways depending on what news channel you watch

Because it's in a MOVIE!! We don't do that IRL.

gas

Because educators didn't want parents to think E meant "Excellent"

Don't get me started on how Americans pronounce 'mirror'. They miss out the 'o' and say "mirrrrr". Madness!

High school was pretty much the worst time in my life. My daughter is going through it now and I wish I could just fast forward her outta there.

Americans get MAD? Rather they probably just don't know which sport you're speaking of. In America, football and soccer are two different sports. That's probably why they don't know what you're talking about. As for being "mad..." I doubt they are mad about it, LOL.

Yeah but then you also have 'drinks halls' in germany with liquor, beer, water, soda... Why? Also you're ignoring the "dry county" thing where within one state many counties may sell absolutely zero alcohol and the next does.

Why do you NOT put cheese on everything??

I don't think people do, at least where I'm from in the states.

I pronounce it Bond, James Bond

They are handy when you bring cooked food to a meeting/people etc.

It's the MOVIES for F sake! Get a clue would you?! We don't DO that IRL.

Because it is a damn tv show, Rita. It is literally NOT REAL. That's why, love. Do you think we fly out of windows and throw cars at each other because you saw it on Superman?

Because if the TV people locked their doors, whomever was about to walk right into their home and terrorize them would be stuck outside rattling a doorknob, which is boring to watch on TV.

WTF IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE!!! this is like me saying "why do British spys not catch the bad guy"

Seinfeld was the exception!... Jokes about the multiple locks on NY apartments etc.

I had to stop reading. The generalizations here are ridiculous. Not all Americans do any of these things. A lot of us would like to change the things that are "stupid" and a number of things that are mentioned here only happen in movies.

Why do you ask dumb question on the internet?

TV and movies are NOT REAL.

I don't lock my doors. I only lock them if I leave the country for more than a week. It is so easy, friends can stop by. My cleaning person doesn't need a key. My lawn guy can use the bathroom if he needs too. Never fumbling with keys in the rain. Why would I lock my doors? So weird.

It's TV. It's not real life...

Not all of us live in filthy, high population density environments. Also guns. A scary amount of guns.

In film and on stage, locking a door takes time, and anything that takes time should advance the plot of the story. Actors lock doors when they want to convey fear or that they are expecting an attack or don't want to interact with people. You do realize that nothing you see on film is actually happening, it's all heavily edited including documentaries. Personally, we don't lock our doors unless we go out, or to sleep. Or the wind is high enough to blow a door open. We've lived that way 70 years. Drives my friend from the city wild.

Just for pacing

Do you believe all tv content is real?

OMG! We have been missing out on an integral part of the movie by not watching people locking and unlocking their doors.

because doesn't matter, in the movies they have also the famous backdoor, especially for criminals to enter :)))

In America, we only lock the door to the gun rooms.

We lock it when we are away or sleeping, or just chilling and wouldn't immediately notice if someone walked in, but not when we're awake, aware, and home. At least, my family does that.

It's tv/movies. They also don't look before getting out on the street side of a car, or lock the car. It's not real, it's crapy writing.

Some parts are safer than others, America is quite big. :) It also depends on your culture and how you were raised.

I rarely do? I like to trust people. Even when growing up in the suburbs of Stockholm me and my mom almost never locked the door unless we went on vacation or something like that

Because TV shows time is money. If it's not important for the story, it wouldn't be shown
