#26: Laughing at this list.

[Old Sarge]

“Not beheading those who slander the prophet of Islam” is a biggie, too...

[BenLurkin]

2 effing bad.

[bimboeruption]

I don’t give a rat’s behind.

Are they offended by all the foreign cemeteries filled with the bodies of American HEROES who fought to keep them free?

[demshateGod]

Funny. Putting on deodorant isn’t on the list.

[prisoner6]

Too bad! Sux to be yunz guys in other countries!

“...leaving people waiting is taken as you thinking your time more valuable than everyone else’s.”

Since Obama is not American, this is obviously what he’s trying to communicate when he’s always late.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

I was ridiculed constantly for saying ‘ma’am’ when I lived in the UK. How I was raised. Never stopped using it.

Of course that’s just how culture works. Every place has their own and others get confused by it.

and that South America is unworthy of the title.

When South America moves out of their huts, and stops raping kids or selling drugs as a primary component of their economies, then maybe they can complain.

5. Calling the USA "America" In South America, claiming you're from America,

When I travel abroad, I always say I'm from Texas.

[Larry Lucido]

In Japan, laughter that exposes your pearly whites is considered horse-like and impolite

This is apparently true. Their laughter is quite subdued. Probably from having no oranges.

"In South America, claiming you're from America, rather than the United States, is seen as being politically incorrect, as it implies that only the US should be considered America, and that South America is unworthy of the title."

I've met several Brazilians, Colombians, Argentinians... not many "South Americans." And South America is unworthy of the title.

"Remember what I told you about how I won debates?"

In Korea, not only was tipping considered an insult, so was paying the asking price (at least in the 80s). You were expected to barter, and people REALLY enjoy doing it over there, both sides working hard to get the best deal— it is an intense form of social interaction for them. So if you just pay what they ask it is considered extremely rude— like walking away from a conversation when a stranger cheerfully tries to break the ice.

#26 F@CK YOU! Ya third World scum. Please, feel free to be polite and STAY AT HOME and stop invading our culturally rude country!

[Sopater]

While it's customary for Americans to hop into the back of a cab, in Australia, New Zealand, parts of Ireland, Scotland, and the Netherlands, it's considered rude not to ride shotgun.

Riding Shotgun



You're doing it right

Because it's the polite thing to do.

22. Refusing Food - Americans often refuse food to make it easier for their hosts, but in most Arab countries, like Lebanon, it is considered incredibly rude to reject anything offered, especially food.

Yet when Arabs come here they refuse to eat some of our traditional festive Bar-B-Que specialties: Baby Backs, Pork bellies or Smoked shoulder roasts for example.
