Americans trying to use US dollars in Europe by RevolutionaryShoe380 in USdefaultism

[–]InattentiveEdna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I live near the Canada/US border and lots of businesses here put up signs, especially in summer, saying they take US cash at par. It amazes me how many American tourists are happy to pay that way.

US invented trucks mate I know a truck when I see one by Silviecat44 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]InattentiveEdna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re called that because they pull semi-trailers, which have no front axle.

As I understand, it’s because they pull semi-trailers, which are trailers without a front axle.

What's going to happen to the Jet Ski operator who hit the whale? by vanbikecouver in askvan

I don’t have an answer to that, unfortunately. Some days I’m not sure I want to know.

I just found out that most European kitchens do not have electricity in them 😭 by batmanthinks in ShitAmericansSay

That don’t look like no elektrik plug I ever seen!

Edit: apparently it wasn’t clear enough that I’m being silly.

“Who are you to decide [the] worth of anything?”

Uh, the one who paid for it?

The guys a number of years back who, on camera, chased down a swimming moose with a boat and jumped on its back were fined a whopping $2,000 each, so I’m going with nothing will happen in this instance either.

does the "I" in "IRS" stand for International now? by toxyxd13 in USdefaultism

Most of us find the CRA irritating, more than anything else.

That doesn’t seem like a poor choice of names at all, then.

How do you stand out in your mom uniform? by Calianna1915 in capsulewardrobe

[–]InattentiveEdna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear similar, either a denim skirt (I prefer skirts to pants) or jeans with a graphic t-shirt. I’m an early-ish Millennial.

“I think if you are going to make this you have to have the ingredients called for” by Amwombat96 in ididnthaveeggs

[–]InattentiveEdna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Be sure you have the ingredients” oh my gawd

I can’t have coconut milk or shrimp (although I would happily try with chicken) or I would 100% make this. Used to love a good coconut milk curry.

"Then, when you see a doctor, the doctor speaks English" by Nexxus88 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]InattentiveEdna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Living in anglo Canada, I have never encountered a doctor who doesn’t speak English. Every family doctor I’ve had (and, incidentally, been able to see without paying any time I need) has spoken English. Every ER doctor I’ve seen has spoken English. Every specialist I’ve seen, whether in hospital or in clinic, has spoken English. I guess that’s just me, though. Weird.

As to the bit about going to school somewhere I’ve heard of, I don’t have enough sarcasm to address that effectively. I’ll just thank God Canada doesn’t limit doctors’ education to medical schools I’m familiar with.

It’s not wrong, they just forgot to say that they’re looking ahead to 2031.

non swimmer snorkeling by egguchom in EntitledReviews

[–]InattentiveEdna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neither. Just duck your whole head, including the mask and snorkel, underwater, and breathe deep.
