I’m American and I really cannot stand how loud most people are here. I have a quiet voice and it’s considered some kind of a fault by some. It’s actually really stressful.

Ah yes, the thrilling and dangerous urban jungle of an European metropolis - beware of the bike lane

If you are so proud of your country, why do you still mention the origins of your ancestors?Sounds like a European saying he's a Celtic, a Roman or a Viking... (even if it was cool, tho)

Same in Australia. We once went to a “historic” attraction that people were really fawning over. It was from the 1950s, my mum is older than it 😆

Seems like Americans don't expect a answer when they say "Hi, how are you?

Hey, I always greet shop and cafe workers, and I'm not American. It's just polite.

Most of us are nice people. And we don't mean to be loud, or any of these things. Some of these things are regional differences. For instances, up north ( looking at you NY,NJ, Etc) lots of loud is the normal. Other places we are more quiet and try not to swear as much. I had a best friend move to NC (North Carolina,a southern state) from new Jersey, she had a "colorful" and loud vocabulary. The first thing she did was ask the deli girl in the supermarket "what the f*'k is wrong with you? You got a stick up your a** or something? " The girl burst into tears and my friend had no idea why.

I always greet everyone that serves me.

It's part of the social dance. Even if I go to the doctor we do the 'Hi, How are you?' bit before we go into the reason I'm there which is because I'm not well /fine. I roll my eyes in my mind as I say it but it's the expected dance we do before we start talking business

Yeah, we do that all the time. It is really an extended greeting of 'Hello'.

The Durankulak Archaeological Preserve is located near the Black Sea coast and Bulgaria’s land border with Romania; it features several archaeological sites from different ages, the most ancient one dating back to the Paleolithic and Neolithic Era, and the most recent one – to the First Bulgarian Empire in the 10th century.The Paleolithic and Neolithic settlement on the Big Island in the Durankulak Lake, a lagoon with an area of 3.4 square km on Bulgaria’s Black Sea Northern Black Sea coast near the town of Durankulak, Shabla Municipality, is known as the Lake City or the “European Troy”.It features prehistoric remains from what is said to be the first sedentary agricultural culture in Europe. The so called Big Island is today a peninsula with an area of 19 decares (app. 4.7 acres, or 0.019 square km).The settlement, which created what is said to be Europe’s first stone city, is characterized as belonging to Blatnitsa, the earliest phase of Europe’s Late Neolithic Hamangia-Durankulak C

Not uncommon in Ireland.

How ya doin is my standard greeting and about half the time people respond

"How do you do?" The answer to that is not "How do I do what?" but "How do you do?" "Hi, how are you?" is in the same category. It doesn't demand an answer. In a few years it will be considered weird to give one.

..but..they really don't care how you are. It's just a Longer way of saying "hi."

It!s just our way of starting a conversation. But, actually, I do care.

When my family was in Uganda all the waiters wanted to serve us bc Americans are the only ones who tip. Apparently other countries just pay their waiters

It is our way of being polite.

In the Netherlands pedestrians are legally protected into the extreme. If a driver collides with a pedestrians, the driver is always 100% at fault and liable. But even here pedestrians wait till it's safe to cross the street.

The USA is frigging huge. Nothing wrong with that !

Sweet

Unfortunately I've heard this too. It's a culture thing I guess.

Have you ever met Chinese tourists...?

In South Europe we do have pleasant conversations with total strangers. Not all Europeans behave the same way.

And why not? They assume we are friendly which is nice.

I remember I was at the French border (Back when we had to stop and show our passport) and a car in front of us was at the checkpoint. A woman yeeted herself out of the car screaming "I don't need a passport, I'm American".

How can you travel to another place and not be happy??? I'm with the Americans on this one!

I find this very endearing to be honest. It's how children react and how we should all react in my opinion :)

Every German tourist I have come across

As a native Floridian same

I didn’t know yes/no answers had high value in Middle Eastern culture. Interesting!

American: "Can you imagine not being able to buy a microwave at 3 AM?" European: "Yes."

And why do so many tourists visit Las Vegas or New York or California?

And the other way around tourists from outside the USA forget to tip or don't tip enough.

I prefer my drinks at room temperature unless they're supposed to be hot.

Just say freaking obese.

American here and cannot stand ketchup. I know most people do though

Every hipster in every countrie has impeccable facial hair.

To be fair, most vendors in third world countries are happy to receive dollars because they're worth so much more than the local currency. In first world countries though, you'd have to be pretty stupid to think they'd be legal tender.

Why would you leave a 900 year old historical building intact, when you clearly can ruin the façade with air conditioners?

this picture is of people looking at a subway map in nyc...

That's just ONE assshole amongst a nice crowd.
