30 Things Americans Seem To Like, But The Rest Of The World Not So Much

System is awful, as is not paying a livable wage but it is not slavery. That was something much, much more horrific.

Hey! That’s a US thing. I live in Canada and our wait staff gets paid a good wage PLUS tips

Not always. I live in Canada and used to work a waitressing job; got paid a decent wage plus tips

We tip in the Uk but only in certain circumstances. My Dad explained it to me like this. Always check your receipt. If it says: Service Included then no tip. If it reads: Service Not Included, then tip and usually no more than roughly about 10% depending on how much it cost, which is considered average. You can tip more if you thought service was exceptional but that's really up to you.

False. Nobody is paid BELOW the minimum wage.

It's based on the way we talk. We say June, 5th 2023. We can also say the 5th of June 2023 but that's more words. But we don't because that's five words vs. three words. That's where it comes from. Look English is a hot mess of a language and American English is even worse.

I prefer year month day. Makes digital filing so much easier.

Technically the correct format is either year, month, day, hour, minute, second i.e. largest unit to smallest unit OR second, minute, hour, day, month, year i.e. smallest to largest. For some reason we seem to write times one way round and dates the other. The American format is so illogical it would make Spock's brain explode.

I think it makes sense the way Americans say it (month, day). It mentally situates you in the calendar to know which month you're talking about before you get to the nitty-gritty details (the actual date of the month). If I hear somebody say, "It's on the third--" I'm going to assume they mean the third of either this or the next month. But if they then go, "--of February", now I have to totally resituate myself in my mental calendar. Saying, "It's on February 3rd" makes more sense to me. But then again, being US American, that's what I'm used to!

I prefer DD-MM-YY as well, because you can replace the dashes with "of the" and it still makes sense

It's easier to say out loud. Which do you think is easier, December 5th 2022, or the 5th of december 2022?

I get paid more than $200 to $400 per hour for working online. I heard about this job 3 months ago and after joining this I have earned easily $30k from this without having online working skills . Simply give it a shot on the accompanying site… Here is I started.…………>> Www.EarnCash7.com

And the 1st amendment to the constitution gives them the right to keep doing it even though it's stupid

Yeah they should've just said 30 things that are normal in America, because so far I'm seeing things that are (sometimes barely) tolerated by Americans, not liked

Several things on this list are things we don't like :/

See like those types of signs are fine, but eventually it’s just too much.

I have a snowman holding a "let it snow" sign. I mean....didn't know that made me a crazy American...... I'm starting to dispise lists like this. Cause there are things other countries do that none of us will understand.....like say....legal to marry under 14 year old girls to rich families.... or old a huge slave trade still to this day or dictator ship being allowed. I mean come on. Every country is uniquely different. Yes Americans have flaws. But so does the rest of the world, you just see more of it cause we don't censorship our country half to death from the outside world.

What does your neighbors sign say?

Hate isn't hate? /s

Hate is hate?

Those inside the house are worse eg the 'Live, Laugh, Love' types
