Things Americans Do That People From Other Countries Think Are Totally Strange

America is the land of “the bigger, the better,” but some of the most common things throughout the United States seem strange coming from the eyes of tourists.

From super-sized meals to the love of all things caffeinated, Americans may think that these customs are completely normal, but people from other parts of the world would beg to differ.

Putting Flags Everywhere

It’s not just on the Fourth of July that Americans are patriotic. Some people from other countries think that constantly displaying the American flag isn’t just patriotic, but a bit weird.

One Reddit user wrote, “The pledge of allegiance is creepy. I know most Americans just say it because they have to in school but if you listen to the words it sounds strange to have children just chanting it off.”

Not Going to the Doctor

The health care system in America has been up for a lot of debate, and people in other countries think the way Americans deal with health care is totally strange.

One Reddit user wrote, “Actively avoiding health care visits/checkups [is strange] because if there’s something wrong and you don’t have the money to pay for treatment, then you’d rather just not know.”

Bathroom Stall Designs

“Your toilets are too low down and the stalls have massive gaps around the door so that people can see in. You can put a man on the moon but can’t design a setup whereby I can take a dump in comfortable privacy. Sort it out America,” wrote orde216 on Reddit.

And it’s safe to say that even Americans feel weird about this one!

Bread As Sweet As Cake

“Why is bread in the USA so sweet? Sandwich bread, hamburger buns, taste like cake but Americans have no idea what you’re talking about because they’re used to it,” funfwf wrote on Reddit.

Some Americans might have no idea that their bread is so sweet and also might not know that a typical Subway sandwich roll has between three and six grams of sugar per serving!
