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.
