☹️😭

THIS! I remember a time that my dad had gotten laid off and my mum was dealing with health issues. They were simply down on their luck and filed for food stamps. Due to their Canadian pension they only qualified for $18 in food stamps a month and made too much to have health insurance, just adding to the health issues.

This! Pay everyone a living wage and do away with tips!

Oh, we Germans kinda do that, too, actually 😅

Everything in American-English too rather than British-English. things that are translated from almost any other language into American-English rather than British-English regardless of the subject matter

We’d call that indoctrination in the UK. I remember speaking with an elderly Italian man who was a child when Mussolini came to power. He told me they were forced to do similar things at school.

And lobby for laws that put more people in jail

Most Americans think they're ridiculous too tbh.

It's so much more than that. It's not that they dont want healthcare, they dont want to pay for SOMEONE ELSE'S healthcare.

Most places use chip-and-pin where they *have* to take the card at the table since you need to enter your PIN. USA credit card banks decided Americans aren't smart enough for chip-and-pin, so we just have chip and an archaic signature.

Yeah, I kinda agree with this one.

This is sad

Add "who is paying their debt while also stopping treatment because they can't continue accruing more debt"

yeah...

i know- you can literally stare someone in the face while they are going to the bathroom

How else can they keep up the illusion that they live in a country worth celebrating?

Different taxes in different states. But yeah.

Work to live, don't live to work.

we get sooo many ads too; they're literally everywhere and most of them are attack ads with questionable information

it's disgusting the amount of money my school spends on sports, and we're not even remotely a sporty school

the meal in the picture is not an American one.

Yeah in my country, if you don't take your minimum of 5 weeks of holiday per year, it will be scheduled for you. Literally your manager will force you to relax :D.

Yeah it is pretty weird. Why not just say 9th, 10th , 11th, and 12 grade? Seems much more simple. I am going to be in high school next year and I am Indian but I live in America. I am used to saying junior, sophomore, etc. but my mom finds it really confusing. This seems so unnecessary.

I'm good with it being a weekday, but it should be a national holiday

This is a bad policy because everyone comes to work sick so they can still take vacation days.

Way too much religion everywhere and about everything.

It’s very annoying

Already noted. Pay everyone a living working wage (NOT $7.50/hr). Do away with tipping.

This, bigtime.

I live in Canada and one of my friends did a cross-country drive via the USA to take advantage of cheaper gas.

One of the primary concerns of using garbage disposals is that it puts excess strain on local wastewater treatment centers. All of the food solids in the wastewater must be filtered out. Those solids are used to create fertilizer or are sent to landfills.

the UK has limited ad amounts. theyre regulated, so you can only have 12 minutes of ads per hour. obviously in the US im guessing its not the same

I still dont understand why its played. Its a sporting event, a game, nothing more. Im a baseball fan & i can care less about it being played. I want to watch the game.

Can not disagree with that statement

yuppp they taste better for some reason just like a grilled cheese tastes better cut

But, but, but! Don't you want to know what I think?!

They have one real purpose: they can help you find your car in the parking lot.

I'm supervised that bumper stickers are not a hate crime yet.

I guess it’s a kind of way to express yourself and opinions through stickers? I really don’t know

True. Plates are also interesting. I saw the Boston Celtics logo on one and a palm tree on another. This is the proof that Europeans are boring in compare to Americans.

Bad for the paint...😄

This has to do with American identity politics & the driving force at which ppl in the US are raised to believe their own beliefs are “God-given” rights. The more self-important you are the bigger the drive to have others see & acknowledge it

I wouldn't dare do this in the UK for fear of my car being vandalised. Generally political views are kept to yourselves here!

The annoying stick figure family

they used to be pretty common here in Mexico, and now that you mentioned it, I haven't seen them in years. They probably got banned (the political ones) or have become too expensive to produce. Or maybe people really started to see how tacky they look

They are, thankfully, almost extinct around here, but most people who still do have stickers have Apple stickers or something from a brand, a religious group, or a band.

I don't care who, what religion or band... I never put stickers on my car. I'll strut the hell out of a T-Shirt with a band though... but not the car.

Perhaps it's just my area by I've found bumper stickers have become obsolete. Seeing them now is rather striking cause they're so rare.

They use bumper stickers because they're too poor to have their car professionally wrapped.

could be that we find that we need to express our views? BTW I see that Obama sticker.

That's a bit vague. High schools have lessons across the world, are populated with hormonal teens across the world, have school meals across the world - there's certainly a difference in quality here, but it's not a weird American thing. So, everything else...?

one of the things i missed living 9 years abroad was this right here...i drink a lot of water. only water, but a lot of it and having to ask for refills of water and getting side-eye was something i never got used to.

I'm in the bible belt. Alcohol can be bought 24/6 here (no sales on Sunday) at Walmart but the actual pharmacy is not open at night.

THIN MINTS

It's discrimination to only give crackers to ppl called Graham ):

You can also thank our tragic shadow of a public transportation system and how far we're spread out. In may instances, driving (and therefore parking) is the only option.

thats cause we call it somthing else

There is some sort of debate whether jaywalking is or isn’t frowned upon in Germany - many people believe that the Germans are sticklers for traffic etiquette when it comes to walking across a street on a red light, and, indeed, Germans will stand even when it would be safe to cross - for the sake of setting the right example for any nearby children. So, it might be the same everywhere.
