1. How 'f*cking enormous' is classed as 'medium'. In both people, drinks, and portion size.
-
2. Drive-Thru shops! There’s a drive-thru for everything it seems over here, even for pharmacies as well. This is new to me because we don’t have them in my country.
-
3. You call the winner of the Super Bowl the “world champs” and the MLB is decided by a “World Series” even though both are an entirely domestic competition (other than Toronto Blue Jays).
-
-
4. Your obsession with the flag. I could go months in Australia without seeing our flag.
-
5. A sport named "Football" but the players play it with their hands most of the time.
-
6. You have to pay for fuel before putting it in your car, here in Australia you fill it up then pay.
-
-
7. Your feet fetish... For the measurement called feet that is.
-
8. Your healthcare. The more I read about it, the more it feels less like a joke and more like a crime. It should not be the way it is there
-
9. The way Americans write the date. What's up with that?
-
-
10. How many Americans don’t have passports
-
11. All the adverts on TV for medicine end with the same statement "may cause death"
-
12. As a Canadian, it's interesting just how polarizing USA politics are to us. Trump vs Hillary/Biden was a way bigger topic than any of our own federal elections.
-
-
13. Your toilets are full of extra water. I didn’t understand American jokes about water splashing you on the balls until I saw one of them for the first time.
-
14. You're supposed to file and pay American taxes if you're a citizen... Even if you don't live there. People complain about Canadian taxes but at least if you leave you don't have to keep paying them - but you can stay a citizen.
-
15. Privately run prisons.
-
-
16. The ten paid vacation days a year (if that!)
-
17. How American towns and cities are generally designed so that you have to drive everywhere.
-
18. Public toilet door gaps. What the f*ck, you guys?
-
-
19. It's kind of amazing how a person can become a cop with such little training over there. A real police officer with authority, badge, and a gun with so little training it's actually scary.
-
20. The portion sizes
-
21. Why can you own a gun, go to war, star in porn all before you can legally have a beer?
-
-
22. Your taxes not being added beforehand to the price of groceries? It's the most backwards thing ever
-
23. Tipping. It makes no sense to underpay workers in food and expect the customer to make up for it, it should be the business’s responsibility to have fair pay for workers.
-
24. The political system
-
-
25. Using the word "entrée" to mean main.
