A couple...
Your toilets are too low down and the stalls have massive gaps around the door so that people can see in.

Flags everywhere. EVERYWHERE

Red-blooded Americans don't give a shite about what Europeans think.

Did deodorant and daily showers make the list?

How about brush and floss?

1. bath too much. Europeans are nasty f**king ppl. I will stick with my min of 2 showsers/day
2. drving. Most Europeans are amazed by the fact that you have to drive everywhere in America (NYC excluded)
3. Why we don't have roundabouts and I agree with them. Roundabouts are awesome

Cause we have important shite to say. They don't mention that our food is better and our education is held to a hire standard than theirs.

Screw these up uppity french.

Just one's I've been told by Euro's

Why so much ice in drinks? (Because ice is amazing, and your luke warm drinks make me want to vomit)

Americans are obsessed with big diamonds. It would be embarrassing to have diamonds that big in Sweden.

Americans are gun obsessed

When Americans think their cities are old we laugh.

Americans only travel in America.


Europeans will buy into the Americans are obsessed with America, and themselves. You could be asked a direct question and they'll still think we are directing the conversation back to ourselves.



And, not Euro, but Aussies and Americans typically get along pretty well.

And and, most tour guides rank Americans (and Aussies) pretty high on their "people we like" list. We tip, and are polite. Aussies are just a damn blast.

And and and, I was told this by a guy who owned a shop in an old Souk in Cairo: "Americans know you're price gouging them. Just act like you're giving them a great deal when you finally settle on a price"
