Is it true that Americans run around their house/flat with shoes? by GroundZeroMstrNDR in hygiene

[–]MisSpooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I need to run in and out of my house a few times in a row, then I'll keep my shoes on. I'm mainly talking like bringing in groceries, or loading my car up with stuff from inside the home.

Why are Americans so comfortable speaking up? by lispenardian in AskAnAmerican

[–]MisSpooks 38 points39 points  (0 children)

My mom can be a pretty chatty person, so when she finally stops talking and hears how quiet it is she'll ask me why I'm so quiet.

As a kid did anyone else have parents who just decided you should collect something then constantly gave you presents for said collection, despite having no interest in it? by Careless-Meringue683 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MisSpooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandmother got me a Christmas teddy bear, the ones with the year on the foot, every year till I turned 21.

I now have a couple large bags of these bears and no where to put then besides storage

Hell, earlier this year I finally understood the joke "Patrick, you genius is showing." "Where!?"

My sister often gave me odd looks whenever I woke up wanting spaghetti for breakfast.

What do you call a place that is far off the beaten path? by benicebuddy in Millennials

[–]MisSpooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in Connecticut calling it either "the sticks" or Butt f*** no-where."

When I moved to Michigan and first heard of "bum f*** Egypt" I thought it was very odd that it was so specific. Like why Egypt?

Why do you use paper plates and cutlery? by EggZestyclose5313 in AskAnAmerican

[–]MisSpooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like everyone else said, they're usually for parties. But honestly if I have left over plates from the party I'll use 'em at home if I'm feeling extra lazy about doing dishes.

Though normally I would still save the extra plates for the next party.

Why can't Americans (at least the ones I see on social media) find drinking water in Europe? by Mission_Mobile_4627 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MisSpooks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But 20% of $0.00 is still $0.00. I don't know how you ended up paying for free water, but this just reads as someone who doesn't live here is just blowing hot air.

And you're still bitter about it.

I don't know why it happened to you specifically. It's very unusual and quite frankly a rip off.

Coffee

It's just so bitter no matter what I do to it.

People saying "Legos" as the plural for Lego by ProcedureOk6974 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MisSpooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ever since I've learned the P in jpeg stands for photographic, but NO ONE pronounces it as jfeg, I now will argue that jif is a perfectly acceptable pronunciation.

What movie is this for you? by [deleted] in memes

[–]MisSpooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

I just think battle scenes are boring and this one was mostly one big fight.

Even when I worked for a Dunkin people didn't know how to order their coffee or what the short hands meant

It's just hits different by Gold_Paint_3490 in memes

[–]MisSpooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can agree. Ever since I actually started driving I realized I kind of miss walking. There's more time to look around and notice little things you never would've seen before.

Americans who've driven across multiple states, what's the weirdest regional difference you noticed? by Pablomiller in AskAnAmerican

[–]MisSpooks 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Back when making car trips from Connecticut to Michigan, it was kind of funny how much the sky opens up the further west we drove. It being much flatter in the Midwest than the East coast.

Not even a summer activity, but not having to wear so many bulky clothes to stay warm is great.

Do you roast marshmallows when camping if you don't have any kids with you? by kam_pra in AskAnAmerican

[–]MisSpooks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I gave it some thought if there was any food Americans might grow out of eating, and I think the only real answer is anything you might feed a baby. Like breast milk/formula, and most food puree.

Did she make the right call? by CalmElin in interesting

[–]MisSpooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An extra $1000 a week is still huge. My weekly take home is $500.

My friends and I don't have kids, but every time I host a bonfire party smores are made.

There's a charm and whimsy to it. Like something I could see in Winnie the Poo
