Worked at a casino here in Australia and had an American visitor complain to me - "why don't our ATMs pay out US Dollars? It very inconvenient". I asked him back "do ATMs in Vegas casinos issue Australian dollars?" He scoffed back "dont be ridiculous". I said "you've just answered your own question".

LOVE the Kenyan guy. "Stupidity is in no way an exclusively American trait but, damn, when they do it, they do it so well" MASTERFUL.

When in New Zealand I was surprised to find toy Kangaroos for sale. When I asked why, the store owner said the toy kangaroos are for American tourists who visit New Zealand & think they are in Australia.
She said at first she tried to tell them that NZ wasn’t Australia but after awhile it was easier to just sell them kangaroo souvenirs.

When I was still in school, we had this american exchange school girls with us for two weeks, and the first evening she asked us, if german engineers were able to construct houses taller than three stories yet.
When we recovered, my dad smoothed things over and changed the subject. The weekend we made a trip to Cologne and we showed her the Dome (474ft tall) and explained to her, that it actually is twice as old as her country.
It was like watching a toy robot dog having a short circuit for about ten minutes.

"Do you have schools in the Philippines? "
Actually this kind of question makes me wonder if you have schools in the USA.

I'm Australian and I was talking to this American guy online years ago and he asked me if we had electricity in Australia. My response...No mate, I'm sitting at my computer desk peddling my generator.

"Do you have cars in germany"


no, we only invented them, build all the Porsche, Mercedes, VW, BMW etc., and then immediately ship them all off to the US, without keeping a single one.

So, I am Bulgarian, but spent three years in the US Naval Academy as a foreign exchange student.
I spent my freshman year with this bonehead from Texas who was as stereotypical as one can possibly be.
Because of the high call rates, I and my dad arranged a Skype session every Sunday for one hour.
And every time I talked to my dad, this moron was standing there, seething, because I would speak "a communist language", because Bulgarian sounded like Russian to him (to give him credit, they do sound alike).
Anyway, one day I was chatting with my dad and this idiot was like:
- What are you doing?
- Talking to my dad.
- In Bulgarian?
- Uh, yes.
- You're in America! You're not supposed to speak this language around here!
He wanted me to speak American? Fine.
So, I learnt enough Navajo just to piss him off.
Ya'at'eeh, ahalaane kwa'asini!

Living in Australia - I had an american girl ask me if it was hard travelling to school in kangaroo pouches. As a responsible Australian, I told her that legally you're only allowed to ride kangaroos until you're 10, then its walking for the older kids

The first time I travelled to the USA, I was speaking casually with a couple and the lady asked where I was from. When I said I was from Australia, the lady put her hand on my arm and said, "I must compliment you on how well you speak english". She was being so nice and earnest, I didnt want to embarrass her, so I said "Thank you. I practice everyday"!! I still laugh about it more than 20 years later

Being ignorant is totally fine - everyone is ignorant about a whole lot of things. What makes America stick out in these circumstances is the arrogance that goes along with it. Now, America definitely does not have a monopoly on ignorance or arrogance but, anecdotally, the combination of the 2 is something of a trait.

I’m Scottish and was in Florida on holiday and this American family came up to me and my brother and said that we shouldn’t speak our language and that it’s America so you should only speak English, we had to explain that we were speaking English but we just had an accent. They didn’t believe us 🤣

A mate and I landed in LA from NZ, chatted with a few Americans at a bar who asked if we had electricity in NZ. We said no, but we fill up empty bottles with electricity and post back to our families in NZ. They were amazed and bought us drinks all night. They told us about these amazing inventions like microwave ovens.

I once had an American (who knew perfectly well I am from Australia) start to preach to me about my constitutional meaning the American Constitution. He honestly thought it applied everywhere. Also, at least once every year an American will ask me what I'm doing to celebrate the 4th of July holiday, knowing that I am from Australia - like the whole world celebrates America's

[opaopri_aka_LostLenore]

Oh, I'm from Finland btw. A friend of mine also spent a year in the US as an exchange student and she got asked if she's ever seen an airplane.
She replied with 'No, I swam here across the Atlantic ocean.'
The person asking the question didn't even understand she was being sarcastic.

[johanstrom]

Sorry, Swede again...
In the US a coworker asked me about Sweden, so I told her a little about our history and that we stopped having human sacrifices approximately a 1000 years ago...(It got "cancelled" when christianity started). She started seriously freaking out, since she could not grasp the concept of A THOUSAND YEARS AGO.

dumbest encounter i had was with some military guys stationed here in germany. one of them was like "damn, you guys have so many import cars here, all these BMW, VW, Audi and Porsche everywhere. even the cabs are mercedes." i tried to explain to him that those are domestic cars to us, but he didn't seem to grasp the meaning of the words "import" and "domestic".

When I was fifteen I spent six months living in Phoenix. On my first day of school, a girl asked me to say something in British. I asked her what did she mean?
She said that as I come from Britain, I must speak British. So I told her there's no such language and that we actually speak English. Ok then she said say something in English. I had to ask her what language did she think I was speaking? American she replied. I had to walk away.

I was an exchange student in the USA and I had a speech in my geography class about Norway. I told them that the capital of Norway is Oslo and the teacher told me "no, it is Stockholm". Even after i told her again that the capital is Oslo and that i know the capital of my own country, she continued insisting that it was Stockholm. And she was a teacher of geography 😅

I’m Ecuadorian. Once had someone ask me what I was. I told them I was Latino, and they guessed Mexico, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica and Guacamole.
