Do they do what?
Each culture has its way of doing things, and the United States is no different.
Sometimes you need to get out of the bubble to realize that the “normal” things that are accustomed to doing or saying in their country of origin could be consulted strange by strangers.
A recently Reddit thread asked the Americans that the things they did not realize were rare until they talked to the non -Americans. Almost 8,000 people talked in the comments about everything, how different American medical attention is to the appearance of our public bathing positions to how people here do their taxes.
And because of the appearance of many valid points they were made over the United States and their ways of making the heads to do things. These are some of the funny comments of the thread.

How we handle our disease at work
“Employers have to approach the disease time. Apparently in other countries, their doctor decides how long he has to take off and his employer has to have to resort,” said a commentator.
Another person agreed to write: “When I moved to Germany, I discovered that even if I already scheduled a free time at work, if you get sick, you recover that time.”

How are Americans expected to tip all
“Tips and Sen are expected as part of the salary of a worker, but in many other countries, service charges are included in the bill, and tips are not so common or simply expected,” said an American.
“The really weird thing for me is that if I buy something at a variable cost, such as a bottle of wine, and the same amount of effort is needed to open and serve, it is still expected to provide that amount … at the end of the day that does it and hate.
Our love for garbage provisions at home
“Having a garbage elimination in the sink,” said someone.
“Like a non -American who lives in the United States, I love them too. I was very excited to move to a house with a Saudi friends lived in our house before us and also loved him,” he read another comment of agreement.
How much we love sugary foods
“Like all our food, somehow. I worked with foreign students every summer in HS and wondered why our food was so sweet. I didn’t realize until I traveled and ate in non -American places.
“My God, yes, it is so strange to eat sandwiches in the United States when bread is as sweet. As cake sandwiches,” he intervened in another person.

“One server asked me once in the United States, which month 18 was in my driver’s license. I had to explain that in the United Kingdom we have it as day, month, year,” he squeezed another commentator.
