What’s totally acceptable and completely normal in one country might get you some funny looks elsewhere. Or, in other words, welcome to Planet Earth where there are loads of different countries and cultures that are bound to blow your mind when you travel.

This time, we’re looking at the differences between the United States and the United Kingdom. Even though both countries have a ‘special relationship’ (not to mention a rocky initial history together), far from everything is the same there. Hopping ‘over the pond’ means traveling a large distance both physically and culturally, too. Like you'd expect when going to any new country when you fly abroad.

Redditor TownImmediate9060 went on r/AskReddit and wanted to find out what’s socially acceptable in the US but would be horrifying in the UK. The thread went viral and the responses made us seriously realize the extent of the differences between the two allies. Check out some of the best answers below and remember to upvote your fave ones, dear Pandas.

Britain continues to use soft power to spread its influence abroad. Its cultural impact is off the charts. Just consider how influential the Harry Potter books, musicians like Ed Sheeran, and football entities like the Premier League really are.

They’re known and respected globally. As such, the UK’s able to draw in plenty of tourists (global pandemic notwithstanding because it’s hit everyone badly) and students from abroad because it remains at the forefront of people’s minds.

However, research shows that the confusion and uncertainty around the long-term effects that Brexit, the UK’s exit from the European Union, will have slightly dampened the country’s influence abroad.

Meanwhile, the British Council found that it’s actually culture, not politics, that deepens the ties between the UK and the US. And it’s culture that’s going to play a vital role in the future of both nations as well.

Depends on the neighborhood. I grew up in the ‘burbs, so either walked, rode my bike, or took the school bus to school, and only once in a while got driven to school by my father or older brothers. Plus, my school wasn’t all that far away from my house. But I was going through safe neighborhoods with minimal traffic. Those are the main factors, along with timing of school and work schedules (I was a school kid back in the sixties and seventies, and my mother was a housewife, so she didn’t have to punch a time clock) that parents have to consider when deciding how their kids get to school.

I used to walk to school. It was a couple of miles. No it was not in a snow storm (a lot of people would use this to guilt their kids, most of the time they are full of s**t). Now everyone is paranoid of the child molester kidnapping their kids. this is wrong. Most molestors know their victim so the stranger kidnapper is rare, Many districts have buses for students who are not in walking distance.

The US is 3.797 million mi². Many of our states are larger than some countries. I lived in Washington, it takes about 7 hours to drive across the state going 60 mph (about 96 kph). I live about 4 miles to the nearest retail stores. Certain areas are zoned for residential and others for commerical. We have a bus system but a 10 minute drive would take an hour by bus.

It really depends on the city's public transportation system. Places like NYC, LA and San Francisco have great public transit systems. Other cities have no or very little public transit systems. I live in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and while Dallas has a pretty good system Ft Worth's is just terrible and some of the cities around and between don't have any at all. Ft. Worth buses stop running by 9 PM and the routes are very limited. Arlington has none at all. They've been trying to get one set up for decades but it's always failed. The biggest reason is that no one thinks there aren't enough "low income" people to use it. They have Cowboy's stadium and the Texas Rangers new stadium and The University of Texas at Arlington.

Outside of the city centers and the biggest cities, America is not built for public transport. Americans fell in love with cars and moved out of the city centers and drove everywhere. It felt like freedom at the time because you weren't at the mercy of timetables and you could live away from the noise and bustle of the downtown areas. No one had a clue what their cars were doing to the environment. And now it's massively difficult and expensive to go back and change the infrastructure to make public transport viable. In Austin some of us have been voting for decades for better public transport to be funded, but nope, Americans love their cars. I'd rather ride a train into town than have to navigate our crowded, dangerous roads.

Again, there's a real lack of understanding regarding just how huge the US is, and how far apart things are. Unless you're in an actual city, like Boston, you literally can't walk most places. From my house to my city's high school is 7 km, and most roads have no sidewalks.

The US was designed this way, sadly very much on purpose. Zoning often prevents a neighborhood from having a local retail shop of any kind, so the closest is quite often miles (or kilometers) away.

In older cities/towns, walking is normal. Where I live, once you get to town, you park, walk all over, then drive back to your house out in the middle of wherever, and that's just normal. Where my husband grew up, it was miles of driving to go anywhere b/c it was all suburban "sprawl". So.... this one is variable.

As a kid I used to walk a few miles to school. It took about 45 minutes each way. Now though, these helicopter parents are so insanely over protective, they won't let their kids walk around the block. Even kids that take school buses, the parents will drive the 3 blocks and wait in the car at the bus stop to pick up their kids.

Despite some of the more superficial cultural differences between the US and the UK, both nations appear to care about pretty much the same issues.

“The research showed a high degree of shared concern about global issues among young people in both countries with poverty, extremism/terrorism, and climate change as the top factors chosen by young people in both the US and UK,” the British Council found. “The research suggests the relationship between the two countries is at root a cultural as much as a political phenomenon, and viewed in those terms it is indeed special.”

Ironically, the actual term ‘special relationship’ sees very little use in the US, primarily being a British way of categorizing the tight bonds between the two nations. However, this doesn’t change the fact that both countries are very much skipping along arm-in-arm, primarily admiring each other’s cultural output (leaving politics a secondary concern).

On the tube, there's absolutely no reason to "hold the door". The next one will be in in a few minutes, and you will just be a little late. By holding, everyone on the train will be late, and there is actually a possibility that it travels down the line, delaying several trains.
