I was talking to a girl online one night before the last US elections and she asked who I was voting for, I replied "You know I'm in Australia don't you?" She said "What? you guys don't get to vote for world leader?" I was speechless.

I once met a Texan who asked me (a Brit): "I notice y'all listen to lots of American music, right?"
"Sure, " I reply, "there's a lot of great American music"
"Yeah!" he proclaims triumphantly. "I mean - no offence - but we just have the best music! Like what have you guys got that compares to Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin or the Stones?"
"Er...sorry to break this to you but they're all British."
Long pause....
"You're kidding, right???" he says in disbelief. "That music is awesome - it must be American!"

...and then Americans wonder why they have a reputation for arrogance!

I am married to a German and live in Germany... there are so many crazy things that I have heard Americas say, but the best one was when the topic of 4th of July came up and a woman asked my wife "So you guys don't have the 4th of July in Germany?". My wife had the best response to it and the look afterwards on that woman's face was priceless... My wife answered "No we go from the 3rd of July straight to the 5th."

A story I read elsewhere was from an English couple on holiday. They were in the bar of the hotel late in the evening, and an American said to them to "Hurry up, the fireworks will be starting soon!"
They hadn't heard anything about a firework display, but they followed the Americans up to the roof, and waited, and waited . . . no fireworks.
The Americans were baffled. "There's no fireworks? But it's 4th July!!"
They were in Turkey . . .

"... and when we rescued them in WW2."

Just that statement is so American. Completely ignoring the Russians, Canadians, British and other nation's soldiers that had a hand in defeating the Axis powers.

I’m Irish and have visited the US a few times.

One time me and a couple of friends were in a store in NYC and were chatting. This older woman (I’m only taking like 50’s) came up to us and asked where we’re from so I said Galway, Ireland.
I’ll never forget the next thing she said to me.
“Wow, your English is really good.”
To which I replied: “thanks, yours too” and smiled.
She looked so confused for a solid 5 or 6 seconds before informing me that:
“of course it is because she’s from America”, so I said something like “aye, and I’m from Ireland where we’ve spoken English for longer than your country’s existed” and carried on shopping 😂

I'm from Japan, and when I visited my American friend's family 25 yrs ago, an American wife started to explain what TV is as if I have never seen TV before in my life, and said "you don't need to go to the TV to change TV channels, we have a 'remote controller ' to change any channels without standing from a couch". I was stunned how she was educated to think all other countries are so behind.... And I noticed that their electric devices are all made in Japan and a little bit behind models...., but I couldn't say anything because I was too shocked.

A guy from the US was shocked to learn that we have TVs in Scotland, and actually said "You're welcome!". Had to explain that the TV was invented by John Logie Baird - a Scottish engineer. He didn't believe me, and it almost resulted in a fist fight because he was so incredibly insulted. He genuinely believed that the USA invented the entire modern technological world and graciously shared it with the rest of us.

He was also one of those types who said "I'm Scottish" when what he really meant was "I have Scottish ancestry". Note to Americans - please don't do that. We hate it.

I was a Taxi Driver. I picked up a passenger from the Airport who had just flown in from California. As we were driving to the hotel, he was looking out the window and turned to me to say, "Gee, you guys sure have imported a lot of Eucalypts."

Caught by surprise, I replied, "What do you mean?"

He gestured expansively out the window at the bushland we were driving through, and explained to me as if I were a little slow, "All these trees are Eucalypts. They are from California, where I am from. You guys sure must have imported a lot to have so many!"

I just about had a brain aneurysm trying to process this thought, and all I managed was "Um, they are native to Australia..."

He just gave me a pitying look, shook his head sadly at my ignorance, and stated, quite authoritatively, "No, I think you will find they are from California!"

I let the confusion clear from my face, smiled and said simply, "Oh, I guess we must have imported all the Koalas also."

Again he shook his head pityingly and said, slowly, talking to the obvious simpleton I am, "No, those are native to Australia."

"Oh, " I said, confused again, "Given they eat only Eucalypt leaves, they must have been very relieved when we imported so many to save them from starvation..."

He looked a little confused, and said "No, they eat Gum leaves."

"Mate, " II replied, "Gums *ARE* Eucalypts. They and Koalas are native, the seeds were taken from Ballarat and Bendigo to California during the '49 Gold Rush, and that is how you ended up with Eucalypts in the USA!"

He absorbed this for a while, all sorts of emotions playing over his face as he reassessed his entire existence, then he turned to me and said "Was Australia already settled in 1849?"

I gave up... 🤦‍♂️

I remember standing in a line with my wife to see a local tourist attraction. An American gentleman in front of us was asking for two tickets for him and his wife for entry to the Colosseum. He got quite argumentative when told by the attendant that she couldn’t sell him any tickets to the Colosseum. He became quite defensive thinking it was something to do with him being from the USA. The attendant politely said this is the Parthenon in Athens, if you want tickets for the Colosseum you will have to go to Rome in Italy. Such a grasp of history!

Oh man I remember talking to this girl who was studying abroad in the Netherlands (my country). She was a nice girl but she was a textbook example of how the American education system failed her in multiple ways. A prime example was history and how 'old' things are. She was oh so proud of her old town, and how it was founded somewhere in the 1700's and had a lot of old architecture yadda yadda. I'm sure it's great, I love old architecture and culture. But I asked her if she visited some of ours in the city she's studying at, we've got a lot of history too. Her response was "it can't be that old." It was a big discussion because she refused to believe there was a world before the USA and she couldn't wrap her head around the fact that my town was founded in 792. Not 1792, but 792. I had to show her the wiki lmao.

I’m from Germany, my husband is from the US. Without bragging I would say that my English is rather good, with little to no accent to give away that I’m not from the US originally.
When I first met my husbands cousin we talked for a while and it seemed completely natural to her that I speak good English, until my husband pointed out to her that my native tongue is German. Somewhat confused she asked, “what do you mean, when talking to your family at home in Germany you don’t all speak English?”
I was at an absolute loss for words. I couldn’t even grasp the amount of stupidity and ignorance in those words. And she was being dead serious.
It was definitely at that point I realized the public school system has failed Americans and if we ever have kids, I want them to go to grow up and go to school in Germany.

I've had a surprising number of Americans genuinely shocked to discover that we here in Australia don't celebrate Thanksgiving or 4th July.

[gabrieljenkins-handy]

I find it funny that on websites you’ve got “English 🇬🇧” and then they have “English (simplified)🇺🇸” it just makes me laugh😂

Many times I've had arguements with Americans telling me that I need to learn English and to speak proper English because they read that I Spelled Colour, Honour, Neighbour, and humour the proper way. One of them insisted that she were in the right all the time and I was wrong. It dragged on for a bit just to lure Her into a direction I wanted Her to go until She said "Where did you learn English because it's terrible". I said "In England. I'm from Britain!" to which She replied "You can't be. I know English because I'm speaking it and you're not. You are a liar!". This get's more entertaining; so I say "OK then, what language do you think we speak in Britain?" She replied "Err, British Duh!". I know where this is going so I go along with it. "And what Countries are in Britain?" to which She replied "One, Britain is a country. Shows how smart you are!". Here I'm going to try to educate Her. "Is that so? Google: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and tell me what Google says". So She does and comes back "OK. I saw Britain but I didn't see England. You're stupid!". So then I ask "Where's London?" Me giving my screen a stupid face look at this point. She replied "In England stupid!". I'm getting frustrated by her stupidity at this point then said "Right, England is a Country in Britain". "No stupid. England is in the UK. I knew you were lying" was her response.

Cutting it short. The arguement went on and on. She claimed that Her English was correct and My English was wrong because She was speaking English and even though This country spawned the language and My family have been here for over a thousand years She was in the right. I just left her to it and let her idiocy speak for itself for all to see. This is not an isolated case. I've had variations of this arguement so many times I've lost count. This is how f-ing stupid a lot of Americans can be. This is why they can only drive Automatics. (Europeans will get the message of what I mean here!)

As an immigrant from Switzerland to the US, I'll never get tired of hearing almost each year "Do you have thanksgiving in Switzerland?" 😂...And that's if they don't call my country Sweden. 🤣

I am not from the USA but once this guy was here visiting my country (Brazil) because his girlfriend, a friend of mine who at the time was an exchange student in the US, came to see her parents and brought him with her. The thing is, this guy was genuinely surprised that no one here cared for "american football", especially because we knew what it was but just didn't care for it, and it blew his mind when he found out that what he knew as "soccer" was known as football not only by us but by the rest of the world and that it was far more popular

[realise]

I once read a comment from a US citizen on a news comment section that the world should be grateful to the USA for giving us a language and culture. A couple from the US came into the pharmacy where my sister worked. As she greeted them in French, the woman asked 'Do you speak American?'. My sister: 'No, sorry, but I do speak English.'

As an Australian once said "America got the puritans, thank God we got the convicts".

Returning to Australia, after a trip to the USA, I’d just entered the arrivals hall at Brisbane airport. I was queued in the “Australian Passports” line, when a lady approached me and asked if I knew where the line for Americans was. I just pointed to the “All other Countries” line. She walked over and joined the queue, looking totally dejected.
