“Those English city names” glasgow is in Scotland, and not the people you want to make mad lmao

Everyone knows that you NEVER say no to food, tea, etc if given from grandma. This is a social law in the Midwest of the USA.

@ladymorrigan5950 11 ай бұрын

I thought it was a social law everywhere? 🙂

@erikagehm2805 11 ай бұрын

@ladymorrigan5950 it's a social law just about everywhere, but people seem to not know it.

No, it’s not a law everywhere; some cultures require the guest to refuse. Some require the refusal three times.

As someone who lives in Scotland, you did indeed say Glagow correctly

Story 12: refusing food from his wife’s abuela, I’m shocked that she ever forgave OP for that. And yes, it’s almost as much of a big deal as slapping her in the face (which I really do not recommend if you don’t want a wave a chanclas thrown at your head).

my family and I live on Oahu and we've been traveling much more, it's crazy to see all the new animals, outfits and styles, personalities, and how comfortable people are with each other, plus they seem to have much more common sense and better education, I easily made friends on the mainland, everyone here on Oahu is kinda defensive, rude, territorial, and entitled because they live on the island, it's great to vacation but you see a different side of it when you live here 😅

@redjoker365 11 ай бұрын

I believe it, I absolutely hated living on Oahu because my parents were stationed at Hickam, but we lived off base in Aiea (Newton Heights). Kids and parents bullied the shit out of me in elementary school, I wanted to die every day

Story 16 As somebody who’s been technically run over this entire story made me itch like a phantom arm cast. I couldn’t imagine living in a place like that. Just walking through traffic seems like Death sentence!!

I grew up in the southern US and walked everywhere. First time I talked casually about walking for hours to get from school to work and got horrified looks I realized I might be the strange one 😅

Tipping isn't just considered rude in Japan......it's considered offensive in the majority of the world 😂 It's patronising and says to the workers "I consider you poor and uneducated.....here's $1USD" It's literally like feeding peanuts to monkeys at the zoo

Something that always stunned the Westerners when they are in an Asian country is where you take off your shoes when going inside the house. My sister has brought a German-American fiancee of hers from abroad inside our house where we asked him to take off his outdoor shoes when getting inside. He was a bit confused and I kinda feel sorry for him since he wore boots, we decided to just let him in with shoes on and we can just mop the floor. He wasn't on some muddy ground in the first place so the footsteps didn't leave some of big dirt.

I think it’s mostly Americans who wear shoes in houses. I live in Europe (Denmark) and we take off our shoes in ours and other ppls houses :)

It's funny. when I moved from Texas to California I was shocked by how much everyone kept to themselves. That if you waved at someone they'd look like you did something vile to them. Not saying they're rude, they just don't welcome friendliness

17 I understand completely. I didn't realize why people at the local Chinese Restaurant didn't leave a tip until I was out of high school. Felt bad about that one since my friend and I would go there once a week for 2 years and I always felt a bit of change as a tip. When my girlfriend visited me and gave them a tip I let her know once we were outside hat it was considered rude in Chinese culture. The lightbulb moment she had was quite funny.

The money from the Appalachia Service Project mission trips (what the OP of the last story did) would be far better spent hiring locals with some construction experience to fix up their towns. Generally better quality work and it helps introduce more money into the local economy. I used to do it as a kid in church youth group

had to leave my home country abruptly, went to the close one (both post-soviet), from capital to capital. and like you are allowed to have fun in public places, even right next to cops if there are some. people just hang out on the streets, because why shouldn't they, it's a beautiful city, and the weather is mostly good. back home people chilling in the city centre get randomly stopped and searched for drugs or alcohol all the time, especially if they are somehow alternative looking, and god forbid you ask questions like "why". here you actually have to cause some kind of disturbance well i've just realised how sad it is. i laughed at myself ducking every time i walk in the metro (the habit formed because of the cctv cameras right on the face level), going into full fight or flight mode at the sight of blue city camo, etc. but this thing about chilling in public places is both far less obvious and far bigger outside of this - women tend not to smoke in front of men, and there are far less women outside at night, and friend groups in general are mostly same-sex, unless someone brings a partner or a spouse. but this is certainly not a shock, just mildly unusual. when i was a kid, it was mostly the same in my home city (not to confuse with a home country, which is very big and diverse), and now it's not

Lol I feel the one about the two faced crap at those unis. I am Dutch. We say what we think. my part of the -city- country anyway. I once met a group of people who did exactly this underhanded stuff and god di I hate it. I think it's so so very weak and two-faced man. Actively makes me agressive.

I grew up outside of town. We had to ride the bus an hour each way for school. We didn’t have central ac/heat. We didn’t even have a window unit. It was box fan in summer & wood stove in winter. Also, clothes were hung on a line to dry. Dryer was for emergencies: rain or too cold. After I graduated hs & I joined the military. The central ac/heat and a dryer for every load of laundry when I got my first apartment or even when I was staying onboard the ship was a pretty big culture shock. I also wasn’t allowed to eat a lot of sugary type stuff as a kid. I made myself sick at boot camp from eating too many desserts. You can have as much as you want as long as you don’t leave anything on your tray when you’re done.

I'm laughing so hard, man really refuse food, that is a big no no. My family is big, but we are still in the small side, because other families in of community are huge, like they are related to everyone huge.

Why change of color? Anyway, Story 18, mostly the end. Like...it's true in most countries, but USA (and other larger ones) are more influenced by it. Like, you can't have whole country of cities and rich metropolies. There are always poor areas, it's just...depending how far from more "civilized" places this area is, and the ones living there, if it's really that bad, or just... less than in big city. Also, mentality does affect it a lot... Jokes or not, you can't survive on 'freedom' alone.
