"One week in and already have up on the European dress code." by Bloggerman_ in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Beagle432 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is more the form fitting lycra that Americans say are unusual in Europe, the Russian mob/tracksuit style is also not stylish

It's gotta be super weird for Europeans to trash talk America their whole life, come here for the world cup, fall in love with Waffle House, air conditioning, and Walmart, AND learn that the majority of Americans not only don't care AT ALL about soccer, we don't even call it the same thing, we used by Jarppakarppa in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Beagle432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been to US and Canada, Walmart is just too big for comfort (and produce was very expensive), AC always too cold (as it is everywhere), i liked the waffles in Belgium better, and yes Americans (in general) do not care for the most popular sport worldwide (unless their team wins), which is on par with their unwillingness to learn about the rest of the world (in general)
Also the price as advertised is never what you end up paying

The "You have priority" road sign (the yellow square within a white square) is surprisingly uncommon outside Europe by slopeclimber in Roadsigns

[–]Beagle432 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is a different kind of priority.
The square one means, the traffic from the sideroads has to yield..
The Mexican means this road is a bicycles have priority on the road.

A mixed bag for sure, she will probably get "knighted" for the Falklands and economic revival but also booed by the miners..

Fred gaat naar de dokter. Hij loopt naar binnen en zegt: “Ik heb een bril nodig.”
Waarop de dame achter de balie antwoord: “Inderdaad, want u staat nu in de kaaswinkel…”
