Make sure to come back this Friday, when we will be comparing an Average American with an Average Russian!

[@glebsokolov8016]

The Infographics Show In Russia it is not okay to be late/not on time...

[@glebsokolov8016]

The Infographics Show Hopefully the facts will be correct this time

[@glebsokolov8016]

/ * Yes, they always get something wrong about Russia. Like that it is okay to be late for dinner in Russia or that in Russia you shouldn't eat all plate of you don't want it to be refilled. In Russia it is NOT okay to be late for dinner nor will anyone refill your plate without asking. If we see a person looks satisfied, we don't usually ask to refill a plate. Only when a person looks hungry we do that.

[@nobodyimportant2470]

They really messed up the analogy for tipping. A better one would be comparing it to a bribe to be treated better than anyone else. This is how Americans used to see tips but restaurant owners kept cutting wages for the servers and negotiated loopholes in the laws to allow them to pay less than minimum wage. With the low pay servers had to take tips to get by and over time it became common place and expected.

[@lizardki115alt7]

Koninkrijk der Nederlanden Yes, Germans are known to be on time. I mean why would you agree on a time and show up half an hour later. The next time the person will assume you will be late again and tells you a early time so you won't show up late and so on and so on... Why don't just be there the right time?

[@princess-pumpkin]

I never really noticed the 'loud American' thing until I went travelling round Europe, and it's definitely a thing. I remember a specific occasion where I was on the train in Prague and it was quiet and everyone was minding their own business, then a bunch of Americans get on and it was so ridiculously loud for no reason. The rest of the people on the train kind of sighed and were looking at each other rolling their eyes.

I think part of it is how we grow up, if you are a naturally quiet person in America it's considered weird and in school you're encouraged to be more like your extroverted peers. A loud, (but of course not too obnoxious) extroverted, confident person is seemingly the standard

[@user89076]

[@pikachulove5468]

Aliyah M how I so agree with this point of view.. my teachers my parents even my significant other told me I need to be louder and confident.. to speak my mind.. I do not understand it but yeah.. I'm seen as super weird.. when I keep to myself.. am quiet or too polite and dress to the point I look weird with so much clothes on. Showing no skin. would I do fine in a different country? Probably not. When I am making fun conversation and laugh I am told I am then too loud and obnoxious. >_

[@pikachulove5468]

TaylorEqualsRandom sad but all too true.. the bullies in America are just rude and don't even consider the feeling of people who are quiet.

[@icantthinkofausername8964]

Yup. If you are shy the teachers often tell you to speak up more a lot. Combined with loud peers, it's the perfect recipe for a loud person

[@khaosklub]

No, you see, you're addressing the sociability of a person. The topic isn't about how much you talk, it's about the volume at which you do speak. If you speak regularly with classmates, but speak at a respectable volume, you're not referred to as a "quiet person". Quiet people are anti-social people who don't initiate conversation and avoid social engagement. Very different things. Our society promotes social behaviors, but it doesn't promote volume control, that's the problem.

[@misterconor1434]

The Irish cafe thing sounds like a joke to me (I'm Irish btw) and I think people took it way too seriously. The loud American thing is a bit of a stereotype, kinda like how all Irish people are seen as Guinness drinking leprechaun it's just a joke.

Most of the things that have been mentioned in this video are rude in America too. Being loud and obnoxious, sending food back, complaining, and kissing in public could all be considered extremely rude in many states. I can't imagine why some tourists think it's okay to do these things in other countries if it's not okay in their own.

Kissing in public *Middle East doesn't like you*

[@SighNaps]

Agreed. I live in NYC. Despite the reputation of people from NY being loud and abrasive, we do have societal taboos as well. I have seen people making out on a crowded sidewalk and heard responses of (two different instances) "You're blocking the sidewalk, if you're going to do that, do it in the street" (implying it's very rude and they should be hit by a car) and "People are eating, take that inside" (A lot of workers get pizza or other street food for lunch that they eat on the sidewalk). I know that may sound harsh to some, but it's the generally accepted tone of the sense of humor here. Most people are far more cautious and polite when speaking to someone who we know (or in most cases suspect) isn't local.

Not a word or a glance at me, they just descended unto me trying to push me out of the way so they can get their disgusting sweets and fizzy drinks back to their dorm. No space to move, all yelling at each other, right in my ear, in a language I don't understand while surrounding me. Honestly, no American would ever do that.

No offense but the "never complain about service/food" is stupid and I was not born in America. If you are paying for a service and you get uncooked food, it is not being "rude' to ask for better service for something you are paying.

[@thefruitofpassion927]

The "rude" of it comes from how the message is interpreted. In some cultures asking for them to take it back to get something fixed/changed could be a great insult to them cuz it might feel like you're disrespecting them or trying to act like you are better than them. I would hope that's not what you ever intended, but such a message could be sent when you think you are being perfectly fair. Hence his comment on how to politely ask for a change.

[@dekkaus]

I don't think he was referring to sending uncooked food back. More like, sending something back because you don't like the taste of it. I would send something back if it were clearly uncooked and inedible, but if I didn't like the taste of something, that's a risk of eating out and isn't the restaurant's problem.

[@asatruteacher]

It probably should be noted that in Asian cultures knowing another person's age is vital to understanding not only how much respect they are due, but in some cases, literally what words are used to address them. While living in South Korea, one of my co-teachers was surprised that I considered him an actual friend as he was over a decade younger than I am. Friendships are not usually beyond one's own age group, and marriages doubly so. (Although there are certain specific differences in ages that are considered auspicious.)

Like expecting the cashier to bag the items, or using the products before payment. (I'm Icelandic btw) Ofcourse in most cases, it's enough for me to just explain that it's not how we do things here and usually they understand. But when they don't, they really, really don't.

[@Auron3991]

Eating food before purchase in America is entirely dependent on locale. In some areas, it's recognized people are in a rush and is thus considered normal for them to munch in line, as they're going to purchase anyway. In other areas, it's a good way to get a conversation with law enforcement and a building you can't enter, with a potential free night in the county motel. Always know the etiquette for the state you're in (and stay away from California as I think they're working on regulating breathing because it emits carbon dioxide gas).

[@DoomFinger511]

All of these things are also considered rude in America. Every country has it's morons, it doesn't reflect the country just the individuals upbringing. 8. Being too loud 7. Tipping 6. Sending food back 5. Complaining 4. Dressing Down 3. Showing up Late 2. Making Out or Hugging in Public 1. Showing Off Too Much Skin

[@theresahall6197]

The whole being late thing I don't get. Maybe it because I am America but I was taught that it is rude to make people wait for you if you can help it. the loud thing I agree is a pain. As for how much skin is too much depends on who is the judge and whether you actually have clothes on. If you don't have any clothes on then too much skin. Making out in public gets you accused of being a streetwalker with a client. Tipping in my family has been a reward for a job well done and we give what we can.

Interesting video. Thanks! I'm raised in Sweden and I went to Germany on a field trip for German class not too long ago. The first thing I said when arriving at the airport was "Why is everyone screaming? Why is everyone drinking beer?". I mean, it was not a particularly large airport... (Düsseldorf-Weeze). My German teacher explained to us that Swedes are known for being very quiet and calm at all times, which German's aren't. She also explained that drinking in public to such an extent, as in Germany, is not really done in Sweden (kind-of taboo), but in Germany it's nothing to worry about.

[@-undecided-1663]

I would just like to say as a British citizen who has lived there my whole life. I doubt a tip would ever be awkward but it's never an expectation just a kindness.

[@dwood2001]

The complaining in the UK thing is often hugely misunderstood. British people like to be super polite, and so will only tend to complain to the restaurant if it's really bad. However, that won't stop the British person ranting about how bad it is for the next week, or stop them sending a strongly worded letter, or leaving a terrible review. In those situations, there isn't the same social pressure or the chance to see the reaction. British people complain *constantly*... if anything, I'd argue even more than Americans. They just don't like confrontation and lean towards politeness in person.

As a waitress in the US that attitude is considered very rude. I've had it happen to me. It's one thing to take a few bites and to know you don't like the food at all but to eat half of your meal to then demand a refund is outrageous. Sometimes the refund is given just to end the situation, but that's never the ideal choice. Usually the customer will be thrown out.

Within the U.S. things can be weird in different parts of the country. I grew up in NJ and some time in NY, and the first time I traveled further south than VA, I was walking with my family and had gotten a little ahead of them when a young man who was walking another way just stopped and began talking to me. He wasn't rude or flirting with me, just chatting for a minute, but I was a little concerned. I assumed he must have been drinking to stop and talk to a stranger, I was polite, but standoffish. After he walked off, I saw a woman who had seen us talking while waiting to cross the street and I joked that there must be a bar nearby, so she gave me directions to one. I was baffled at that point, but when my husband joined me, I told him, and he was like " oh that's just because we're down south, people are friendlier." I think that's great, it's much more laid back in the south.

As an American that seems weird. It's annoying if someone sits next to you when there are other empty spots but not a big deal or something you think much about after ten seconds.

Specifically I'm from the Ozarks in Missouri, which has a distinctly different culture than say Northern Missouri or Michigan.

Sending food back is perfectly acceptable in Europe, as far as my experience goes anyway, being that I live here. The only reason people have been kicked out of high end restaurants for asking for salt or ketchup is because you're insulting the chef by saying that their food requires extra flavour when it doesn't, but that's only in very classy, Michelin star type ones. The rest of us don't want you to eat bad food just because some video told you its taboo.

Don't send food back in France because it is cold/undercooked. They will throw it on the floor and then serve it back to you (has happened to me). They are the Rudest nation by far that I have visited. And yes, Americans are loud..like you can pick them out at thousand paces loud.

Apologies if I offended. I should probably clarify a little (and not base a whole nation on a few unfriendly folk...though it did leave a lasting impression). It was in Paris..I dont remember where as it was a good 15 years ago. I am also an Englishman and our nations just love to hate each other...so maybe it was that?

It’s only specific kinds of Americans who cause trouble or loud in a different country. Most good and nice Americans aren’t loud in or out of their own country. Tipping in America is usually out of kindness or acknowledgment of a good job. Then there are stereotypes of Americans like everybody is overweight or everybody is a cowboy with a truck. Those aren’t 100% true. There are practically no “cowboys” as foreigners seem to see and make stereotypes. Though we do have a high obesity rate, there are still plenty of healthy Americans. Also the stereotypes we have of foreigners that are kinda true like SOME Japanese/Chinese tourists are obnoxious and take photos of everything from monuments in Washington D.C. to photos of the poor or taking photos near a dead bird(which I’ve seen before in the city) But the point of my long rant(which you can criticize or talk about I really do not care) is not all Americans are bad people or obnoxious. America is different, just like Germany, Russia, brazil, Spain, Japan, Greece, France, etc.

It'll make things easier and you'll have a better time ^^

[@Cricket101382]

While I agree. Respect does go both ways. Anytime I have ever spent time with a foreigner and see them doing something that would be considered rude in my country, I try to politely explain to them what they did wrong instead of getting all pissed/offended that they didn't know they were being offensive. I honestly think more people would get less offended by foreigners if they just explained what they were doing wrong instead of immediately jumping to offended. Sure people should do their research but chances are you're either going to miss something or you own cultural behavior is going to slip out from time to time.

[@microplastique]

Cricket101382 Sure if you had a hand on the whole country's behavior, but there's nothing you can do about it, so as a traveller I think you would have a better time trying to integrate rather than asking to people who get angry at you to be more understanding, eventho it's completely true

[@Nocturnalux]

I'm Portuguese and living in the country's capital means having to deal with tourists aplenty and I'm afraid American tourists are indeed obnoxious. Part of it is that they come in huge groups and seem unable to realize that what to them is just 'pretty historical neighborhood' is 'place where shop/live/run errands/work', which means we cannot afford to just stand stock-still in the middle of a busy street gaping at whatever. I understand they are enjoying the sights and to be fair, other tour groups do this as well but in my experience it is usually middle age Americans who are more prone to just completely block pedestrian traffic going "wow" without realizing how great a nuissance they are. Also, Portugal is not Spain. Stop trying to thank me in Spanish, it comes across as absolutely rude. Why even bother to visit the country if you can't even bother to distinguish it from its neighbor, might as well just go to Spain. Everytime an American goes 'gracias' on me I do correct them because it drives absolutely insane. More, we understand English fairly well so...try not to comment on Portuguese people, very loudly, as if no-one could possibly know what you are saying. This is a sub-set pet peeve that does not happen quite as often but I had one American seriously ask me if "I'd heard about Jesus", at which point I burst out laughing. My country was selling 'Jesus' all around the world before theirs was even thought of.

They do the same in Ireland...also Dublin is NOT the only place in Ireland I mean we have 26 other counties (excluding the North) that you can visit

[@Nocturnalux]

I wouldn't call Americans lazy but odds are they are perceived as such because the country suffers from a serious obesity problem. You can even notice it here, whenever you see a large tour group of mostly white people, you can tell from a distance- even before you hear them- if they are American, simply because they are way fatter than their counterparts. From there to assuming they are lazy is a small step- not an accurate elation, by any means, but one people are very prone to do. Actually, Americans only represent a small portion of our tourists, odds are we'd do just fine without them, to be honest. Not that I want them gone, I am actually glad they visit the country and as long as they don't trip on my feet I welcome them gladly and very often find myself giving directions. And to be fair, the tourists who cause the greatest hassle are probably the English. English tourists are probably still the largest demographic to visit the country (I think? At least it has been for a long time) and while the great majority of them (and I need to emphasize this, the vast majority is not just harmless but polite and easy to get along with) are great, there are those who come here to get drunk on cheap alcohol. Alcoholic drinks being expensive in their country of origin, they flock to Portugal to get drunk out of their asses and end up being not just a nuissane but a danger to the community. They cause disturbances, harass the locals there have been times when the police has to intervene. I do not get much contact with this subsect as they usually roam South and bypass Lisbon altogether but when it comes to rude, awful and borderline criminal behavior, they take the cake.

+kan Chowdhury I understand what you mean Hispanics culture is to blame ( not just mexican , also guatemalan , salvadorians and many more) , I also meant , what happens to those who are respectable folk ( I know it's hard to belive) but some upper-class hispanics that go to America on a vacation or something are treated the same even though they do not intend to stay or work there? What do Americans think when they see a well dressed hispanic family? I wonder.

[@yandere-kuninyourcloset5741]

Toast & Soup what should happen when extreme patriots attack hispanics who are only visiting? The individuals who commited the attack should be punished according to the due process of the law, however, such things rarely happen. In my decade of living as a legal hispanic immigrant to the US such a thing has never happened to me, nor have I really experienced racism from patriots that could affect me in any way, in fact, most of the racism me and my family have experienced in the workplace has been from other hispanics

[@yeaman992]

Toast & Soup Not true that "There are a lot of Americans that don't even want to be near a Hispanic person". They are treated like everyone else, there's a loud minority of racists in a lot of countries, they don't speak for the whole. It's obvious you haven't spent time in US by your comments and only base your ideas on negative stereotypes of Americans portrayed online and by the media.

[@AZstarwatcher]

Wait...I'm American and it's not like people make out on the streets here. It would be shocking and maybe considered low-class. At a rave or Skid Row, yea, but not just anywhere.

[@chigimonky]

AZ Starwatcher I only do that at insane clown possy concerts.

[@paulaatkins7036]

Yeah we're not rude, we're just different then other country's, because some of the stuff we think is okay, just isn't in other countries, and like you said the whole making out on the streets thing never happens unless you live in a big immature city, or in the basement of your friends, little brothers birthday party, making out with their 20 year old sister. Slurping noodles in Japan is considered good, to show you like them, but here that is considered rude and obnoxious. You don't see a video on how rude Japan is! But seriously EVERYONE thinks we are just a bunch of fat slobs living in trailer parks, because that's the only part that they see, they don't even glance at the normal, healthy-ish, hard-working 90% of us.

[@c.morganfree1970]

Yeah but do you get fined for making out? No.

This is so true for Argentina !! Nobody expects you to show up in time and it’s looked at badly.

[@thesollylama130]

Most people understand that visitors may not share cultural standards. What makes an 'ugly American' is being flatly dismissive of these cultural differences or believing that anything other than our own standards are inferior. While many other cultures will disapprove of certain behaviors, they are often non-confrontational about the offense, where Americans tend to become emotional and confrontational when they feel slighted. Even in many cultures with very conservative norms, the average person doesn't see it as their duty to correct the person, while Americans won't hesitate to get in someone's face.

[@antooneshuis]

I sense that you are an american?

[@kelkindu75]

I am 20, and I have the american nationality because I have family in the US but I've lived all my life in France. I've been to the US many times though, and was always able to meet interesting, smart, funny, honest and open minded people. Of course there a loads of dumbasses too, but I don't remember them being more annoying or numerous than in France. Therefore, all the offensive things I've been hearing about american people around me in France always made me sad, and I've been wanting to prove those guys they were wrong but over the years I gave it up because no one seems to believe me anyway. The worse thing is, I'd say 99% of the people I've been hearing trash talking the americans never went to the US. Get your shit together guys, we're in 2017.

[@PZ-ew2gy]

anbrdn je suis d'accord avec toi. Je suis un américain qui étudie en France et j'essaie toujours d'être sympas envers les français.

[@Slashplite]

people you met in France are not ethnically French though

[@Timbo5000]

C´mon, you have to admit Americans are generally pretty loud-talking people. It´s culture differences, nothing wrong with it

[@kelkindu75]

Poffertje yes, they ARE speaking louder, that's not my point. I meant that the bad reputation of american people goes far beyond that and it's just... Such a shame

[@GreenforeverLeaf]

anbrdn What offensive things have you heard? Also have you been to several places in the US? I do feel like how people act depends greatly on where they are. I am genuinely curious about what people in France say. Perspective on Americans seems to change from Country to country so I can't help but be interested.

[@mateolondono8942]

My mom used to be flight attended... so on a flight there were a bunch of Asian tourists and all of them got up during takeoff and switched sides to take pictures!😆😆😆

[@tristanholderness4223]

With tipping, in the UK it is expected to tip ~10% in most restaurants but the wait staff are paid reasonable wages so if the service is terrible it is sometimes considered ok to tip less (tipping a bit more for good service is generally well received, but the US norm of 20% is already a lot). Pubs are different because historically they are "public houses" and there's a conceit that the pub is the landlord's house and you're just covering their costs rather than paying for a service. This means tipping's generally seen negatively so the traditional way of rewarding good service is to offer to buy "one for yourself" (which the barman will usually "take later" by keeping the money rather than actually buying themselves a drink); it's pretty rare though so you're never going to put someone out by not doing so.

[@mwiese2593]

i think every country has people who behave badly, it depends on which country they're visiting and what that culture perceives as rude. it's not necessarily Americans who are rude.

[@leesungjong8765]

This is true. I've met plenty of rude Europeans who act like they're above me for no reason. But I don't judge a whole continent on those interactions lol

[@kubaniedziela1346]

Rockin Mamma if I’m going too be honest (I’m not trying to offend anyone) Americans are just ignorant and don’t bother learning about other cultures much and yes every country has their people but I feel like Americans are more rude than the average person

[@user-ql6rk6uk9g]

jakub niedziela this is so true... They don't even try to adapt to the country they are visiting and will just do stuff their own way without caring if it's rude or not.

One thing I have learned, having the experience of living in other countries is that Americans complain because "this is not like America" said in a rude tone, as if "all countries should be the same as America because it makes sense". Sure other people from other countries also behave like this, but generally Americans wont comform with accepting other cultures.

[@swiggityswagunion1223]

This is not true what so ever and you need to stop being so close minded and ignorant.

As a British waitress and bartender... we do accept tips! We're still on minimum wage and are on our feet for a long time!

[@AttonBrown]

Robyn Jones American wait staff makes like 3 bucks an hour. You don't like what you make? get a better job .

[@Georgie1996x]

First off, we don't use 'bucks' in the UK, so you should get that right before commenting on a post from another country whose current language and currency you clearly know nothing about! ;) It doesn't make for a good argument and indicates that merely looking to irritate as many people as you can while having nothing useful to contribute. And $3 an hour is nothing, so I don't know what point you're trying to make by bringing that up; a salary like that is a reason to tip waiters. I'm just saying that American tourists visiting the UK shouldn't be afraid to tip because it is still appreciated! :) Anyway, no need to reply aggressively to unoffensive posts. I hope you relieved yourself of that anger that you clearly needed to get out by trying to insult strangers on the internet?

[@AttonBrown]

I'm not trying to insult you I'm Pointing out the fact that it's moronic to take a job that depends on someone tipping you

[@AttonBrown]

Also I was explaining wait staff here makes under minimum wage, so they Need tips. You dont

[@Georgie1996x]

So what was the point of you even commenting? I'm saying tips are appreciated, not needed.

More like media is the main influencing factor for determining who is rude.

[@joshuaford9714]

WB IsMe more like certain people in certain areas develop cultures based on the personally preferred behavior of the majority, and media has a marginal effect on perceived aspects of cultures by perpetuating what may normally be a fringe minority or exception in a culture as being the norm really.
