Why Americans abroad are the WORST | Live From The BBC - BBC

“And I was offended.... As a fake deaf person.” Best. Line. Ever!

[@huginstarkstrom]

they cut off the best part though: in the end, the girls go away and the British guy turns to him and says "can't believe you got away with it" And when he asks, what gave him away, the Brit answers: the headphones around your neck...

[@AceThePhoenix007]

@@huginstarkstrom Oh what headphones were they?

[@huginstarkstrom]

@@AceThePhoenix007 Alex Edelmann must have had a MP3 player or so and the headphone around his neck. So pretending to be deaf, while having those headphones around his neck, was a bit odd

[@AceThePhoenix007]

@@huginstarkstrom Ah true. I’d be dying laughing after I found out that he wasn’t deaf

[@happyexpat7399]

He’s absolutely correct. As an American living in Europe, especially over the past 3+ years, I’m mortified on a daily basis, even asking for forgiveness from some. Wish I didn’t have to but in these times, it’s become instinctual. We’re loud, disrespectful, disruptive, do things here that we’d never do at home. In Florence, where so many students go to study, seeing ose kids drunk and peeing on the steps of a 500+ yo cathedral designed by Bramante or Michelangelo, is just horrific. Imagine foreigners from anywhere doing the same on the Lincoln Memorial? They’d be hauled off in seconds......or stoned by the crowd. It really is mortifying.

[@theemperorstarwarslegends8075]

I don't think getting stoned to death would happen to often here. You'd more likely get shot with an LDT MGL Grenade Launcher than stoned (in that sense).

[@michellebeaver4809]

Well, I've seen equally atrocious behavior by Germans and Scots. They were about college age too. I think there are all kinds of ugly tourists out there, from every place imaginable. It's called bad behavior, you find it happening all over the globe.

[@eblyl978]

The thing is, I'm from NYC, and whenever I go to any "touristy" area, the ones who are being very loud and obnoxious are the foreigners, but I don't think tourists who are "loud and obnoxious" now, a bunch of AH doesn't define a whole country, I'm sorry. I think there is something about not being in your "home" and "on vacation" that makes people go " Oh its fine to let go a few times a year."

[@nhmooytis7058]

I’m an American traveling Downunder. My Airbnb host in NZ was talking about a previous guest who he referred to as a ‘loud obnoxious American’ then said “Oh I’m sorry!” I said “Don’t be, many of us are.”

[@charlesmcfactory4671]

The best version of this joke is when he ends with saying he had headphones in the entire time

[@ejlare]

I pretended to be deaf TO GET OUT OF A CONVERSATION

[@tsu2155]

My introvert self: *write that down, write that down!*

[@injunsun]

Genuine, no lie detected. Related note: In 1985, one of our choirmates broke her tibia in Sweden. She, being from a wealthy family, used to affording the best, was **offended** when the hospital refused payment, and wouldn't charge her parents' medical insurance. She wanted to like healthcare paid for by everyone, for everyone, but then... "How do the better off get better care than the poor people?" Words to that effect. My eyes can't roll far enough back in my head.

[@RebekahCurielAlessi]

Good story!

[@dpainter1526]

Oh, they do; they simply go private. The rest of us have to wait literally months to get seen...

[@MelodyFaus]

I don't know if this is a repeat but I heard this joke before. Wasn't the punchline "wow, I can't believe you got away with acting deaf with earphones on"?

[@injunsun]

I have heard that version as well, now you mention it.

[@JaseFace1985]

Yeah, he did the same set on John Bishops comedy show or Live at the Apollo (can't remember which). They cut the end bit which was a real punchline -_-

[@hih2430]

i love him i hope we get to see more of him

[@ritaharris2372]

I am a British duel national and I have live in the US for years, but I am embarrassed that so many US tourists think they are owed because they are throwing money around.

[@injunsun]

Too many imagine money buys class. They aren't entirely wrong, tho, as it **does** buy class **status.** Look at the boors both the U.S. and U.K. are saddled with - slack-jawed lackwits, fit for the looney bin.

[@jari2018]

@@injunsun there are other class than the obvious upper class class -bit yuo wont recognise it or even care -shame on those -O can even get the upper class class but its not for me and never was since its a deadend

@@jari2018 Well, no shit. Sherlock. And why would I not recognise the Class Ladder upon which we all stand? You make a lot of personal assumptions with too little to go on; you don't know me, so don't pretend to.

He really should try Newcastle upon Tyne. Mid winter the guys put a tee shirt on to keep warm when it’s snowing and the “ladies” put their knickers on for warmth and high heels for grip on the ice 🤪

Maybe the drunk "underdressed" New York girls were raised in Minnesota. Not uncommon to see people here in a T-shirt, or even sandals instead of boots.

[@LaurieSwenson]

I was going to say but not so much in December, but then I looked up the temps in Kingston in December, and that's like April weather here in northern Minnesota, so yeah you may well be right. I rode a bus to Minneapolis in early March (still winter jacket weather), and a guy in shorts asked the driver to turn the heat up (the driver compromised by going up one degree). There was a young woman in shorts too but she owned the outfit and stood around outside during a break.

[@barbaraspridgeon2660]

I know that even me....being from California can handle the cold better than the people who are from the east coast areas lol. In Washington DC I Walked around in jeans and a tshirt in 20degree weather and my jacket open in Minnesota at 10 degrees when everyone else had hats scarves double jackets etc lol But the funny thing is that I’d run shivering into the house at 40-50 degrees in California! what gives???? Why does it seem so much colder in Ca at a higher temp than on the east coast??
