It’s no secret—the rest of the world looks at how peculiar American culture can be and wonders if it’s even real.
‘Cause let’s face it—even if it looks fine for us, that doesn’t mean that having police patrol your school, paying for a ride to the hospital, and calling the toilet “restroom” when we all know very well there ain't nobody going there to have a rest shouldn’t raise a brow for others.
So this time, we are looking at what American things make our fellow non-American friends scratch their heads in simple, yet very spot-on questions below. Our dear American Pandas are also welcome to help separate what’s real, what’s rumors, and what only happens in movies in the comments! And after you're done with this post, check out our previous one with things Americans do that require an explanation for non-Americans.

But taking off shoes and socks when you come in is nearly as good as taking off your bra.
Cori 5 years ago
I never wear shoes in my house. I live on a farm. My shoes are barely allowed to come inside at all. It always leaves me feeling super awkward when I go to someone else's house though. Because I never know what to do. I'm hardwired to take off my shoes, but then am I going to just walk around someone's house in my socks, or worse, bare feet? It's a conundrum.
Marilynn Hanson 5 years ago
Where is your farm? My dad was from Nebraska and he always said farmers ( 30's&40's) keep their shoes on until bed. I just grew up with that in my head :) of course I guess that's compared to going barefoot outside :)

Yes and especially when there's a bad storm. My wife was 7 when an F4 tornado hit their home in Channelview, TX on Thanksgiving. You can Google it. The house and the whole street looked like tooth picks. Her mother grabbed her and ran to the tub to take shelter. Neither one of them had shoes on after it hit and had to walk over the debris to the street. So yeah, some of us always wear shoes even inside. And if there's a bad storm at 2am, we sleep in them too.

Yes and so did we Australians, until recently when it became offensive and impolite to do so. Never in my childhood, teens and 20’s was I asked to remove my shoes when visiting any hoise in Australia. Now it’s a different story. Personally I’d rather people wear shoes after wiping them on the door mat than have their smelly feet exposed and stepping on my clean floors.

In Spain people also wear their shoes inside the house. I got used to taking them off when I lived in Hong Kong, and now I think walking inside with shoes is the most unhygienic thing on Earth. I can't understand why so many people still do it.

I'm not a huge fan of removing my shoes, but if I have to I have to. My husband absolutely does and comes in through the side door off of our laundry room where his shoes go off and his clothes go into the washer. The girls and I it just depends. Muddy, rainy, snowy they absolutely come off inside the door. Normal every day and it doesn't matter, because my husband is obsessed with vacuuming our floors daily. I'm wondering if it's a guy thing because my dad and BIL vacuum every day, too.

I know a LOT of people in America who only take their shoes off if the shoes are really dirty or muddy. When I returned to America from my first year in Japan, we asked people to take off shoes in our house, particularly because we had a toddler who'd be crawling around on the floor. My older brother ignored the sign and our verbal request saying "I don't take my shoes off for anybody."

I'll leave them on for moving days, and sometimes groceries. It's really an argument between maintenance and efficiency, but most Americans I know take off their shoes when they enter the house, except for occasions where the efficiency outweighs the clean up. Socks and slippers fall into the comfort category though, so pretty much anything goes.

Uhhm yeah. :/ Idk the floor doesn't get that dirty. In my house we take our shoes off if we were out in rain or mud or something, but if we just went to the store or something we don't think about taking shoes off til whenever we don't feel like wearing shoes anymore. Which is admittedly, usually a few minutes after getting home.

We have them. They are usually part of the cheerleader squad or dance squad. It is a sports thing. We take sports very seriously.
Even though Americans and Europeans share many things, like commitment to democratic principles, a strategic alliance, and some of the highest standards in the world, there are still some very notable differences between them.
A 2016 study done by Pew Research Center was very revealing in that respect. First of all, it showed that Americans are more likely to believe they control their own destiny.
The research showed that a staggering 57% of Americans disagreed with the statement “Success in life is pretty much determined by forces outside our control.” The percentage was higher than in any other European nations polled.
#5
The second interesting thing the Pew poll showed is that “Americans prioritize individual liberty, while Europeans tend to value the role of the state to ensure no one in society is in need.”
When it comes to religion, it turned out that over half in the US (53%) say religion is extremely important in their life, which is nearly double the share with the same view in Poland.
In France, for example, only 14% consider religion a very important aspect of their lives.

The term "20/20" and similar fractions (such as 20/40, 20/60, etc.) are visual acuity measurements. They also are called Snellen fractions, named after Herman Snellen, the Dutch ophthalmologist who developed this measurement system in 1862.

It's not as openly expressed as in movies, but unfortunately yes. Bullying is a huge problem.

It got pretty bad and I was already dealing with some stuff that comes with growing up, but I know the bullying was a huge part of it. I know of lots of other kids who have had to deal with bullying too. It's really sad, but the whole social cliques and bullying thing is very real.

I think some of these have to do with a word meaning different things in different countries. Jelly in Europe, for example, I'm pretty sure is what we in the US would call Jello (which is a brand name of gelatin that caught on as the general term for that item). So, yea, we don't eat peanut butter and gelatin. Our jelly is a spread closer to jam but made from fruit juice instead of the fruit.

Ahhh good. Its been a few days since we made fun of Americans. I was starting to think the world started to care about other s**t. I'm so glad we have post #12,789,566 being snarky about us.
