30 Of The Good And The Bad Culture Shocks Non-Americans Experienced While In The US, As Shared In This Online Group
Isolation of nations, different climate and resources as well as other factors led to different customs in different places forming. But with globalization, we are able to know about those differences and prepare for them. However, some things are less talked about because people may not even realize that it could be different in other places, so there is always something that can surprise us.
The country that people like to talk about very often is the US. There are so many things they do differently, so visiting the country or living there might cause some culture shocks. Redditors were discussing this very topic when Miserablemermaid asked “Non-Americans of reddit, what was the biggest culture shock you experienced when you came to the US?” There were more than 30k answers given in just a day, so we collected the most interesting things redditors pointed out.

The treatment of veterans. A lot of communication around the respect they deserve. Yet many of them are broke, homeless and in a generally bad position.
RoseTheMad 3 years ago
And (and I'm sure I'll be downvoted for this) unfortunately, I've seen and read about a lot of cases where veterans (and especially their spouses, for some reason) become extremely entitled. I completely agree with the quote from Bojack Horseman "Maybe some of the troops are heroes but not automatically" where he goes on to say that people can be jerks, and giving a jerk a gun and a title doesn't make them not a jerk. I respect the fact you fought for your country, but I'm not going to respect you if you're an entitled jerk. xP

Not really a shock but one thing that really surprised me was the sheer amount of flags.
It was like almost every building had an American flag. Here in Belgium, if I see a house with a national flag I assume there's some kind of sport event going on that I didn't know about.

And they "make" kids pledge their allegiance to it. Not to our country or fellow Americans, but a flag.

The toilet doors (or lack thereof). Not enough door!
Seriously, you're a wealthy enough country you don't need to leave an inch gap at the sides and a foot and a half at the top and bottom.
#6
Could not walk anywhere, or take good public transport. Always had to take Ubers or hitch lifts.
Everything was also HUGE. Cities, buildings, regular houses, food portions. I'd say people but I did not see anybody who was hugely obese there at least.
There was an insane amount of space just...everywhere. As a European used to being crammed into every available nook, even in rural areas, the way that towns and cities just stretched out was unimaginable.
#8
The air conditioning. Everywhere. And the literal temperature shock between the inside and the outside of any f**king building.
#9
Everything being f**king huge. Literally. Road lanes, groceries, soda sizes. Especially distances: where i come from, 3 hours of driving are enough to cross half of the country, in the US it's just a small drive to go to see a relative or something.

In New England one can travel easily between States in three hours. Not Maine or New York but most of the other states are small. Here in the Western part of the U S it does take more than three hours to leave between Ststes.

An Australian and an American were talking, and an echidna waddled by. The American saw it and said "is that the biggest your porcupine get? Our porcupine are HUGE! Then a dingo went by, and the American said "Is that the biggest your wolves get? Our wolves are HUGE! Just then a kangaroo went by and the American said "What was that?!" The Australian said "Don't you have grasshoppers?"

as an american its crazy talking to locals of small countries because they are not used to regularly traveling long distances. they'll be like "we haven't seen our uncle in 5 years because he lives 45 minutes away" & americans are like "that's our daily, 1 way commute to work!"

Can't argue about the serving sizes, but from what I've seen it's more a case of extending limits, not a total scale increase, if you get my drift. That's why moderation is key. Regarding groceries, and road lanes: as per usual depends on the area. There are numerous narrow streets and 2-lane interstate highways. I assume you've never been to Washington, DC... As far as distances go, that's not an active choice, that's geography. Seriously, compare the size of Europe to the continental US. Also, driving distance varies by state. A long drive in Delaware is not a long drive in Texas. Inaccurate.

Why is that a shock tho? People visiting here do realize our country is literally almost the entire continent of North america right?

I was walking down the street and there were some road workers doing something a bit ahead. When I got near them, one of them approached me and super kindly asked me to cross to the other side, halted the traffic so I could cross and wished me a nice day as I went along.
In my country they would've probably heckled at me for not crossing, and I would've told them to go f**k themselves for not signaling things properly as I walked in the middle of the street potentially getting hit by a car

Turn right on red. Beautiful.
Jo Choto 3 years ago
The only reason it works is because most of the USA is built in a grid system. So you come to a 90 degree angle crossroads and you can make a right on red. It does not and cannot work on older streets where roads do not meet at a right angle, or when there are more than four roads meeting at the junction.

The importance of the College/University you go to. For me it felt like the name, you can even call it brand, of the College is more important than your actual skills and knowledge as well as the quality of education you receive. So many times, people asked me which College/University I visit and told me about their College and the College their childrens are visiting. Totally different than what I am used to in Germany, where it is mainly focused on your skills and grades not the College/University your are visiting.
Jo Choto 3 years ago
That only matters for a very few colleges, and I am in a position to say that the education you get at Ivy League colleges is NOT superior to the education at other universities. It's just that it will open doors for you by other people who are part of the elite club. If it's not one of these elite colleges, it really doesn't matter where you go.

Tipping. And not just tipping, but tipping so much that the entire thing I bought (e.g. a meal) is now in an entirely higher price bracket.
Jo Choto 3 years ago
Tipping is really, really important, because US laws allow for servers to be paid around $2 an hour (which is just so wrong to begin with). So not only do they need the tips to stand a chance of making a living wage, but they are also taxed on those tips because it is ASSUMED that they will get them. So if you don't tip someone, they actually lose money. It's a really bad system, but while it exists, please plan to tip in the USA.

The different kinds of flavors for beverages. I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of options.
Just so you guys know,I enjoyed having multiple options, until I came to the US I had no idea I liked Blue Raspberry flavored soda and I found out that I liked to mix different kinds of sodas from the fountain and make a cocktail soda occasionally.
Also, I like how you guys have a s**t ton of flavors for your alcohol. I liked a lot of them but to be honest I didn't enjoy the whipped cream flavored stuff.

How non-physical Americans are. I’m Latina and every time I meet someone new it’s considered polite to hug and kiss their cheek as a greeting. Obvi with professionals it’s a no go but like if I’m introduced to a friend of a friend I would do a very light hug and kiss, it was mind blowing to me that Americans mostly did the half hearted wave or a handshake.

California has a lot more consumer protection than the rest of the country. I remember when my family owned a scrapbooking store that an adhesive company had to redevelop a few products in the 2000s (I think) when California banned import of a bunch of chemicals and harmful stuff into the state.

There was work being done on the highway and after like every kilometer there was a dude standing with a sign telling us how long the traffic jam still is.

There certainly are places that match one or more parts of this list, and maybe your experience of a place is different than where you grew up, but none of these entries is either uniquely or universally part of US culture.
