Europeans Get Back At Americans With “American Mind Can’t Comprehend” Meme (30 Pics)

Yeah, if someone wants to lear at me, while I'm in a public restroom, through a small gap then they better be prepared to defend themselves.

Its almost like the city was designed for humans

American here. I use 24 hour format at work.

We used to get a full cooked breakfast on British Airways domestic flights, even on flights on a tiny turboprop that were an hour long. Was soooo much better than the 4 hour drive.

Meh, this one's weak. I learned both the moronic imperial system AND the metric system in my 1990-2000s US education.

Europeans understand tipping. It is used to express gratitude for excellent service. What they can't understand is how employees are not paid a fair wage that is not dependant on the number of customers or their generosity.

Lol, to be fair I’m a Brit and I once ended up on this unexpectedly…I somehow almost reversed into a ride-on lawnmower. So I’ll forgive the Americans not getting this one either 😝

In SA, most (in new houses) open to the outside and are top-hung and not bottom-hung. I feel that is better since they aren't falling back on curtains or blinds

These are common in many places.

They exist in America. They're just not the same as they once were. The toy is in one half and the food part in the other half

why do I get the feeling that this photo was taken in the Netherlands? >.>

I love my bike

But but how else are the bloodsucking insurance companies supposed to make their profits??? Who'll think of the billionaires?? 🥺

Living in Germany these are on every house, dont have A/C but these really help keep the house cool

I thought that was a picture of a morgue at first glance!

They used to be common here. It's the original bidet, for washing "down there". Bidet is a deprecating name for "horse", since you had to ride it. It was introduced in the late 19th century... as a preventative for both MSTs and unwanted pregnancies, and was first popular with courtesans. "Honest" women didn't touch ( or wash) " those places".

Best add the mainland European minds to the list since I've yet to meet one who does this ;)

Not incomprehensible - just incredible.

As opposed to high fructose corn syrup

Because it's called Diet Coke in the US?

Americans thinking that is drive time not walking time.

Um...Electric kettle. I have one

I'm German like that clown and I can't comprehend this either. I hope he just wants to share with 12 buddies

Um yeah, American here. I learned to drive on a stick shift.

I think what is meant here is the steering wheel being on the right - take a look at the photo, it's the left hand on the stick ;)

Umm, I’ve seen many manuals here

I took my drivers test with a manual. I drive a manual 30+ years later. Another dumb post.

its about it being right hand drive. you are proving their point

Most of the vehicles I own are manual transmissions. And I prefer driving them.

I can drive a 5-speed manual, but I don't think I could get my left hand to cooperate to shift on the wrong side.

I've owned seven cars and trucks and 13 motorcycles with manual gearboxes. I was disappointed when I spent ten days in Antigua and was lent a car with RHD, but it was an automatic

Stick shift isn’t the real name. It’s manual !

I love driving a stick, but my knees don't. Used to drive a 5 speed Toyota Solara. That was a fun car.

Lol - I drive a 6-speed VW everyday to and from work.

Really, because we have a car with that in our driveway at this very moment....

Nice stick shift.

In America they call it "Anti-theft device." XD

That is just too funny. i DROVE ONE OF THESE AROUND THE BACKYARD WHEN i WAS 12.

Urgh, Like that´s the only thing that exists. I once wanted to try out Car sharing, but they all only have Manuals 🙄 Automatic is way more comfortable.

Left handed stick shift would be a challenge. For the first few times. Otherwise...automatics aren't that omnipresent outside of really brand conscious areas. It's still cheaper to buy a manual car.

Oh please. Losers.

Won't matter in a few more years anyways, cars are all going electric with no transmissions at all.

Should we be seeing this?

I've been driving a manual transmission since I was a teenager. I also made sure to teach my son manual.

This is a British car. These stupid people drive the wrong way /j

ROFLAMO omg. My first car was a manual transmission! I very much can understand this.

Oh, come on! This isn’t a European thing. Out of 50 countries, 4 drive on the left. UK, Republic of Ireland, Cyprus and Malta.
