You know, it kind of blows my mind that Europe has free education and free healthcare, but you can't get a drink of water or take a p**s without paying.

Unironically and openly discriminate against Romani people while looking down on the US for their race issues.

I took German in high school and learned about their culture and just brushed it off but then I actually got to go! First, having to specify I wanted tap water or non-sparkling water. I just ended up buying bottled water because it was easier. Second, almost everyone would shut down for lunch. Even businesses besides restaurants or delis.

When you ask them “How are you doing?”. They think it’s a personal question instead of an american greeting.

Keep eggs on the counter. I know they’re okay to eat, but it’s just so weird to me.

Went across the pond for a deployment. Two things I noticed that were peculiar: 1. The amount of smoking. Europeans seem to smoke a lot more than Americans, and, unlike us, at face-value there don't seem to be discrepancies based on class or anything; *everyone* smokes. 2. The fascination with track suits. A lot of the guys loved track suits. Hell, I was surrounded by such track-suit exposure I wound up getting one myself (I love it)! No judgement and nothing but love, y'all.

Leaving babies napping outside, alone, in cold weather. (This is specifically aimed at the Scandinavians!) I was in Denmark in November and it was a super windy, cold week (ranged from -6 degrees *to -9 degrees Celsius) and this honestly stunned me. I admire that people feel so safe that they can do it! Edit: I know -6C isn’t super cold for Scandinavia, but I have low cold tolerance and it was also windy in Copenhagen

I can't remember if this is Ireland specific or a thing in the rest of Europe, but the bathroom light switch being outside of the door. Pray tell, Ireland, just how many times a father or a sibling has flicked the switch on and off or just straight up turned it off while you were doing your business?

You guys have hamburger flavored Cheetos in your "American Food" isle Homie, we don't even have those.

Two Germans will go into an office and shut the door as though they're taking about something important. Nope, just soccer.30 Weird Things Europeans Do From The Perspective Of An American, As Shared In This Online Community

Sneezes get no reaction. I have since come around to their point of view, but for a minute there I was like WHERE ARE MY BLESSINGS??!?

I’m going to Europe on my honeymoon, and it’s been crazy to me how other countries just have open borders. I’m taking the ICE from Germany to France and there’s no border checks? It’s really fascinating to me.

I do find it a bit odd that everyone sort of agrees nothing happens in August. Like, for a whole month, you better not need anything done - even doctors seem scarce. EDIT: To be clear, August is the vacation month in many places in Europe. While August is a popular time to go away in the US, summer vacations seem more distributed through the school-less months. In Europe, however, it just seems understood no one will work in August (or at least a large part of it). Zorena Deckard • is following a person
