59 Things That Made This Norwegian Woman Raise An Eyebrow About The United States

Yes, that is stupid, and irritateting.

Fun fact: blink-182 are blink-219 with tax.

You are expendable.

Compensating?

"It's a security feature!"

I get a kick out of watching people circle the parking lot looking for a spot close to the door of the gym, pool, rec- center

Keep em poor n stupid, so we can exploit them. MAGA motto.

Brain washing

Add iction to cheap filler ingredients cos the quality is do appalling

Since we don't have bidets we have to rely on splashing.

The same reason they dont use 'military time'?

I think that's a worldwide issue especially with teenagers

Not everyone does.

I have a duvet cover, I live in the US.

We have drive through liquor stores. I can't even.

Convenience.

Me too. Food for tomorrow! 😋

My family uses cash but I do most of my transactions online. When they pay me back, it's a pain to receive cash as banks are scarce in most UK small towns now. I can pay in a cheque online and never worry about it.

People in the 60s, 70s did. I don't think they do that anymore.

Easier to grade. Easier to pass, too. But I agree that multiple choice is lazy and not a good way to assess knowledge.

Cheap filler. Much less drink if you fill the cup with ice. Rip off.

We have quite a few, it's just that the big two get all the attention.

Because pirates sank our set of measures in Jeffersons time, and France had problems

Women are ALWAYS cold when the AC is on. Its a constant complaint in my office and its always the women. Wear more than a thin shirt if you know you get cold. So, a fashion thing, would rather look good on the outside? I don't know, its always been the same. I will probably get downvoted to hell for saying it but its my experience after 40 years of office working.

A good book, and fun to read. where_the_...e4d9a1.jpg

Because in most of the US getting around anywhere requires a vehicle. Other than in large urban areas there is no public mass transit infrastructure.

Performative patriotism. Like all the flags everywhere.

Semantics. Its deemed rude to use the T word as the delicate USAsian mind doesn't like to think about their bodily functions.

The USA has blown up another country's oil pipeline, stolen supertankers from another country, blockaded another country's tankers, organised a coup, imposed sanctions on oil, wrecked an economy, set fire to oil wells and a refinery, and blown up a supertanker. (Thats all I know about, I haven't been tracking). All to keep the oil price for other countries artificially high.

A”socc”iation football. Abbreviated to soccer. Coined by the Brits. Soccer is used by Canada, Australia, USA, New Zealand, South Africa, Ireland, Japan, Philippines…

Because we're used to it. The U.S. is big.

The Pentagon and that pyramid in Vegas called dibs on being the only buildings that aren't boxes.

Same as UK people acknowledging others with 'Alright?' Doesn't mean you want an answer, just means 'I see you'

this is one of the good things to be fair, Scottish ppl are like this too.

Fizzy drinks are one of the highest profit products sold. Actual cost is just a couple cents.

We do.

Pretty much worldwide

We don't.

Cheap filler ingredients covered in sugar and batter appeal to human taste buds. Appealing to base human tastes ripping people off with poor quality. The obesity epidemic writ large. A worldwide issue.

I live in a med sized city. There is zero public transport. All the better to sell giant cars. It's not bad now, but if I can't drive for some reason, I'd have to take an Uber for everything. We don't even have taxis.

It's generally safe, saves fuel, and allows traffic to flow better.

Tori, when the food is real and fresh, you NEED to go every other day or it will go bad, food that will last till the end of time is not the flex u think it is. your foods are poisons.

Because lead in fuel was being breathed in by the populace for decades and resulted in what we have now

we should make them rename it HANDEGG.

Because school starts in September and ends in June, duh.

Never heard of this but sounds vile

Because it's a big country.

In the USA, people are given the choice of whether they want to vote for an a s s or a dumbo.

Very small, small, medium, large, family size. We have all the sizes.

Who gets a month at Christmas? Our kids get two weeks. And summertime off is because our society used to all be farmers. They needed their kids to help in the fields. They need to abolish that and move to an all year school year.

What a stupid complaint

With a kㅤnife? I know that I am a Brit but...yeah, with a kㅤnife.

You say that like that's a bad thing.

@tori Ohno: Counting past 12 all up to 24 confuses you? And Norwegians for example might like a word. So would maybe Alaskans... 😉
