I was in York (UK) and in a party visiting the magnificent York Minster cathedral and an America lady asked loudly “Is this pre WW2 or post WW2” our guide replied quite calmly, “Madam, this is pre America”.

I think that most stupid thing many Americans believe is that all of us from elsewhere wish we were American.

Jesus wasn't born in America because they couldn't find 3 wise men.😂

I once spent 30 min in Florence trying not to have a heart attack from laughing. I'm an Australian. After attempting to order at this gorgeous cafe in my terrible Italian the waiter took pity on me and started speaking in flawless English while complementing me on my terrible Italian. I spent a few minutes having a laugh at how bad it was but that I could never get to practice.

10 min later a group of what can only be described as terror tourists sat down, about 10 feet from me, all in their late 60s, loudly complaining that no one spoke English. that Italian food was crap, that Italy was a third world country. I watched that same waiter act like he didn't know a word of English, torture them for 30min and make them work for every order.

As I watched them get more irate and start to yell at the same waiter about the size of the meals, the fact no one spoke "american", that water should be free I'm afraid I snapped.

I told them that in Italy people speak Italian, It's not the US and if they wanted things to be like the US they should F off back to the US and stop being such a bunch of unbearable C..ts before they pissed of somebody enough to have them wacked by the Mafia before they made it back to their tour bus. (Unlikely they don't "DO" tourist unless they do something really stupid) or you're unfortunate enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

They paid and left in a hurry. I got a free meal. Love Italy.

The crazy thing is I found if you try to speak Italian, make the tiniest effort, not be a dick, EVERYONE goes out of their way to help you. Go Figure. I mean it's not just yanks but EVERY asshole tourist out there.

Being close to a group of tourists at the Acropolis museum in Athens, I could not believe my ears when a lady from USA asked the astonished tour guide "how come the ancient Greeks had so many disabled people?" (Many of the excavated statues exhibited there were found with missing hands, nose or legs, some of them even without a head, which is a highly interesting version of disability)

I accept their ignorance, but their arrogance is appalling, the inability to consider any other opinion.

If you keep the general population:
1. Isolated. ( very little if any news from outside is covered )
2. Relatively uneducated about history outside the country.
3. Taught from a very young age, " THIS is the greatest country in the history of
the world."
4. Right from the start of schooling, pledging allegiance to the flag. very single day
5. Told repeatedly, your country has dominance over the rest of the world.

I dont really blame the general population because they have ALL been groomed.
The country was ripe for this chaos.

The world has lost trust and respect for them, particularly the U.S. allies.
Trust is earned. Once broken, it is very hard to gain it back, if ever.

Spent three of my teen years living in America (in Phoenix Arizona). On my first day of school I got into an argument with my teacher because she didn't believe that I came from Nottingham as it was a made up place in the Robin Hood films.

As an American citizen I truely apologize for the complete ignorance of my countryman and woman for any stupid questions they have imposed on you and I am very embarassed to be an American at this time in history.

If Trump manages to destroy the Department of Education will anyone notice?

Leaving the Dorchester Hotel in London after a dinner for a retiring very senior British Army office and in full mess kit, as I left an arriving American shouted at me "Bags Boy". I just remarked F Off Yank, he said he would have me fired. The doorman had quite a laugh and remarked he will be off to the Palace to see your boss then.

As a well traveled American, I find every one of these little anecdotes completely believable. And that's why I pretend to be Canadian when traveling abroad.

[coravandergaag]

I think it is not the stupidness of American citizens that bothers people so much as the presumption that everybody should emulate them because they are so great.

2:44 I flew into Stanstead airport about 15 years ago, and once you got to immigration, there were two way to go. “Domestic an EU passports” and “Rest of the world “. It had apparently been necessary to clarify that in the UK, a US passport is in fact NOT domestic, so a printed note was posted in a few places beside the “rest of the world” sign that said “Yes, this also mean American passports”

Apparently according to one American student on u tube it would be best if the whole world spoke American ... I'm from England and according to her my language is British 🤷‍♀️I'm 68 and all my life I had thought I was speaking English 🤔

In the 1970's in Miami, we learned a second language, (Spanish) to be able to communicate well with others. During the Mariel Boatlift from Cuba, many immigrants came to Florida, in order to make it easier, kids were given a choice to learn the second language / or stay in English Only school, I chose the former, my brother chose the latter. My father was a racist, bigot who did not believe in accommodating anyone if you were not from 'Merica !!!

We learned about the Pilgrims, we even put on a Thanksgiving play about the Pilgrims in my classroom, as a kid. In 1976, we celebrated the Bicentennial. There were Gigantic Displays on our auditorium stage/cafeteria. The Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights, and Red, White, and Blue Bunting "thrown up" all over everything that was nailed down or furniture!

Geography is not really taught in the U.S. as the U.S. is the center of the Universe, and there was NO history going on anywhere else in the world. And if you were to argue the point, you would be "Flamed and Disgraced" for even offering up that history went on everywhere, and did not end when the Pilgrims came to the New World. World History was not something U.S. Schools ever participated in teaching student, when I was going through the system. And God forbid you ever tried to assert you came from somewhere else ??
Because American's still don't understand that "Somewhere Else" exists, outside the U.S.

American's usually will not learn a foreign language, because this is 'Merica, and they speak English there.
You mean there is more to the world than America and Mexico ??? Not even Canada was ever taught in any class I ever took in school.

When I emigrated to Canada (Montreal) 30 years ago, I used my Mother's Canadian Citizenship to get me over the border. Needless to say, my Red Blooded American Father went berserk. Saying to me that I "Spit on our Flag and our Family, " and I reminded him, that he had "Imported a foreign wife" to marry and rebuild in his image. He did not even Marry a Red Blooded American Woman. How dare you leave the land of Milk and Honey and become a Communist !!! Was his response on that thought.


It took me a good couple of years to grow out of Culture shock, after leaving the U.S.
When the Iraq War began, people in Montreal MARCHED in the streets. I was incredibly shocked to see how many people in Canada did not agree with the U.S.
Marching in Montreal is a Time Honored Tradition, and we do it very well, and at the drop of a hat if need be.

And now the U.S. President wants to Annex our country ?? I will die defending my home from that Fascist Dictator.
I will never ever step foot back into that Cesspool of ignorance and stupidity.

Overheard two American women while waiting for my flight at LAX: "So how did you like Acapulco?" "It was OK but there were just too many Mexicans."

I had an American red-faced angry with me when I told him that the school choir in the university grounds opposite his hotel was singing a Christian hymn.

"Christian hymns can only be sung in American!"

We were in Nairobi, Kenya - and the choir was singing in Swahili, the national language.

When I lived in Denver, Colorado, an American work colleague asked me which country I was from. I told him I was from England. "Oh cool!" he replied "Do you know Steve?". "Of course I do!" I said. After that, he always referred to me as "Steve's buddy" 😂

Ignorance is a subject that is taught in American schools.
