My sister had an American boyfriend when she was much younger. He arranged to come over to see her once and he thought, without knowing where she lived, that he could walk to her house from the airport, because he'd heard the UK was small.

I was once asked by an american "where do you come from?" I replied "England I'm English". To which they replied "which language do you speak over there?"

A few years ago in Florida I was asked "do you speak English or French back home?" (England). From someone who had a responsible job. To many Americans the rest of the world is either Canada or Mexico.

My English cousin lived in Florida and was asked frequently what language they speak in England 😂😂

Englishman here. A friend of mine was on holiday in America in summer 2016, in the lead up to the presidential election. As you can imagine, there were posters and banners everywhere. He went in a convenience store and got chatting to the owner. Amongst other things, the owner said "It's not usually like this, but the election's coming soon, and tension is running very high in politics". All reasonable so far. But then, he started explaining what politics is! After about 30 seconds, my friend said "Yes.....yes I know what politics is." The American, sounding very confused, replied "Well, how do you know that?". My friend said "Well, we have politics too." To this, the American said "How can you have politics? I thought you didn't get to choose who was Queen!".

The healthcare in the US vs. UK is something I read a lot about. I'm English and In 2019 I needed emergency surgery, antibiotics and 6 weeks of daily visits to a nurse to clean and dress the wound. Cost to me was £0. In Feb 2020 the issue recurred with the same surgery, antibiotics and nurse care. Cost to me was £0. In May 2020 I had pneumonia and spent 2 weeks in hospital. 3 meals a day, daily visits by a doctor, bloods, all meds and tests. Cost to me £0. In September 2020 the same bacteria, Streptococcus pneumonia, caused mastoiditis. Another 2 weeks in hospital, part of my skull drilled away, 12 weeks of daily nurse visits to my home to deliver IV antibiotics. All the time I was on full pay with my employer. Cost to me £0. It's not Socialist... It's humane. If I lived in the US I'd be dead. I find it strange why some Americans find it weird... My previous boss was from the US and she was baffled.

An American had a go at me once for mentioning my friend was black. Telling me I couldn’t say that, I had to say African American… I’m in the UK and my black friend was born and bred in the UK! They totally couldn’t understand that not all black people are African American!

Visiting the US from South Africa, I've been asked "Do you have to holler at the elephants to get off your driveway when you come home?" True story

I've had Americans arguing with me, adamant the words are pronounced Toona, Tooseday and toob 😂😂 I have to remind them the language is English not American.

True Story: Im a Brit and a Texan was shooting his mouth off about how Russia was full of maniacs and they would obviously be the first country to use Nukes in anger. I said to him "You do realise it was America that has already used nukes! Twice infact on Japan! They dropped it on women, children and old men. So what does that say about your beloved Untited States." He didn't say a great deal after that. 😁 I normally find that ignorance and arrogance is usually amplified in Americans anyway regardless of being drunk or not.🙄 You two seem to be an exception to the rule though.

So I’m in the pool in Las Vegas on holiday from Australia. A guy jumped in holding a drink with the mirror sunnies and a large cowboy hat. He said howdy and I said G’day.

I've met many Americans over the years and have had "What part of London is (insert place name over 100 miles from London) in", " what's it like living in a country where you can't defend yourself" but the best was that "American drink age law applies in the UK so stop selling my 18 year old son beer"

I'm from Australia and one of my ALL TIME favourite pastimes is playing on American ignorance/stupidity. One thing I've been telling American tourists (and American people in general), for decades, is this: Did you know they close the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the morning and the evening to let the kangaroo's in and out of the city? I've been telling this since the late '90's, and I'm not the only one. A few years back, I was drinking at a pub on the south shore and I spotted a man walking towards Observatory Hill Park. He was carrying a camp chair and had binoculars and a camera slung around his neck. I couldn't believe my eyes. I turned to my mates and said, incredulously, "How much do you wanna bet he's here for the kangaroos?" I told them I'd be back shortly and approached the man, asking if he was, indeed, here to see the kangaroos. He confirmed he was. I had to come up with something on the fly, so I told him, "Oh man, you're a couple of years too late. They stopped closing the bridge because the flow-on effect of stopping traffic meant it never cleared, and people were complaining about the delays in their commute. What they do now is transport the roos across in sheep trucks. The sheep help keep the roos calm & they don't need to stop traffic. If you look really close at the sheep you can sometimes spot the ears of the roos above their heads."

As a Brit I’ve always wondered why Disney, Universal etc put their massive parks in Florida because that puts me of going to them straight away. Even we know that all of the horrible crazy shit happens there and that’s not even taking the deadly heat and wildlife in to account.

Sorry this usually because they left the USA. Education is a wonderful thing.

I'm from Scotland and see a fair share of "Do you all wear kilts" and such. Ignorance is just lack of knowledge, and I don't mind that, everyone learns something for the first time *sometime*. You're not going to ask someone where they're from then say "hold on" while you Google trivia and facts about their country, sometimes you just don't know. The problem is entitled or entrenched ignorance, like the example of the Indian woman talking about pronunciation and being told she's wrong, or the Canadian guy being *from Canada* but told he's wrong about them having cars (I also lived in Canada for a couple of years and saw plenty of ignorance of Scotland and UK, so it's not a US only thing). So all I'll say to anyone reading is, if someone asks you about your country, or you, take the questions as genuine, and don't immediately eye roll, give them the answer, you have the knowledge and human interaction is sorely missing in the modern world where everyone is expected to know everything somehow. We all learn something for the first time, *sometime*. ❤

I had an American tourist group come up to me and ask where the language border was between the French and the Dutch speakers. Those were the more educated Americans because they were aware that some of us speak Flemish Dutch and others in the south speak French. Most Americans can't find Belgium on a map. Our taalgrens litterally translated in English means language border but it also means barrier or crossing. They expected to see a kind of border crossing with armed guards and fences in the hart of Europe because they picked up the somewhat true rumour there were political tensions between the 2 regions and that we were at the brink of a civil war or something. I told them it wasn't like that at all that you can cross the barrier without even knowing it. they reacted so surprised it was hilarious. They also asked me "are you an etnical Flemish"? I told them I'm just a native Belgian so are my parents and 4 grandparents. It is not about etnical groups you are not in the Balkans it is about language and to a certain level difference in culture more Germanic vs more Latino/Roman but a blend of the two in both cases.

Belgium has a province called Luxembourg. If you know this, you can figure out where it is.

The funniest one I heard was an American on a train and we stopped at a place called ingatestone (anyone who knows the place or is British would break that place name up into in gate stone right?) well this American showed me a new way and it was priceless at the top of his voice; he stood up and shouted to his friend “oh my god, what a strange name for a town Inga test one! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I could not bring myself to correct him how to say ingatestone but Jesus I hadn’t even thought to break a word up that way

On a holiday in China with my wife and another British couple, as part of the trip, we had a four day cruise down the Yangtze River. We shared a circular table with others who were not travelling with a large party. At the table were, the four of us, two men also from England, a single lady from Italy and a couple from America. We all turned up on time for our evening meal, including the lovely American wife, but her husband was always late arriving. The first evening, we all waited for him, with our starters in front of us, not wishing to be rude and starting without him. The next evening, the same again, the American wife was there but he wasn’t. This time she insisted that we all start and not wait for her husband. We had eaten our starters and the plates had been cleared away and we were waiting for the main course, when the American husband finally arrived. He immediately asked where his starter was and his wife explained that he had missed it. He wouldn’t accept the situation and insisted that he wanted a starter. He brought silence to the table by stating loudly, “I am a rich American, and if I want something, I get it.” It is normally considered impolite to brag about your wealth, when dining with people, to whom you have only recently become acquainted. One accepts fellow travellers as equals and their financial situation is not a consideration. Unfortunately, this American,did nothing but add to the stereotype, that Americans are loud, boastful, brash, lacking in manners and believe that they are superior to persons from other countries. Such a shame, because we have met many lovely Americans on our travels.
