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!"

Brain washing

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

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

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

The same reason they dont use 'military time'?

I think that's a worldwide issue especially with teenagers

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

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

Me too. Food for tomorrow! 😋

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

Not everyone does.

Takes longer to drive through than go in in most places in the UK

Some, but not all. Older people are much more likely to use checks than younger people.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Performative patriotism. Like all the flags everywhere.

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

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.

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

We don't.

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…

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.

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

And other countries aren't? Plenty in the UK.

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

We do.

Pretty much worldwide

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.

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.

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.

Thomas Nast, cartoonist, created those symbols. Also created our version of Santa Claus.

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

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

What a stupid complaint

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... 😉
