I was talking with some American friends and I asked this

What’s something Only Americans think is normal? So, I made this post with some answers...

Let’s be honest:

Americans are living in their own Netflix special. Things that seem totally normal to them have the rest of the planet wondering if it’s a prank show we didn’t get invited to.

1. Tipping like it’s a Secret Mission

In America, you’re expected to tip for literally everything. Your waiter? Of course. Your Uber driver? Yep. That random person who just smiled at you at the gas station? Honestly, better safe than sorry.Meanwhile, Europeans are just sitting there like, "Didn’t I already pay for this?"

2. Giant Houses, Tiny Food Portions at Fancy Restaurants

You drive through endless suburbs with castles that have six bathrooms... but order a $45 salad and get three leaves of lettuce and a whisper of vinaigrette.

Make it make sense, America.

3. "That’ll Be $97,000, Please" (Healthcare Edition)

Broke your arm? In most countries: a cast, a bill for $50, and a lollipop.

In the U.S.: a second mortgage, a payment plan, and an existential crisis. And they STILL give you a $30 aspirin.

4. Calling it "Football" (but It's not Foot + Ball)

The rest of the world: Football = feet kicking a ball. America: Let’s use our hands, run around in armor, and still call it football. It’s giving creative license.

5. Soda sizes that could drown a small Animal

Small soda? Hah. Welcome to the land of gallon-sized beverages where your arm workout is lifting your drink to your mouth.

6. Bathroom gaps so big You make eye contact

European tourists entering American bathrooms:"Why... why can I see EVERYTHING?!"

Privacy apparently means "only emotional privacy," not "physical barriers."

Well America, you are truly one of a kind. And honestly? We wouldn't have it any other way.(But also, can we talk about those bathroom doors? Seriously. haha)
