kevinUsa Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 Canadian here. I was 7 and in Florida telling my new also 7-year-old friend about our money system. I told her we don't have [$1] or [$2] bills; they are coins and called a loonie and a toonie. She goes and asks her parents and they told her I was lying.

kevinUsa Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 “Do you guys actually ride elephants and giraffes to school??” My American acquaintance I met while playing Roblox with my younger sister asked me (a South African) this and it still annoys the hell out of me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinUsa Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 My wife was staying at a hostel in Athens a few years ago. She shared a room with an American in her 20s. They got talking about where they’ve stayed in the past, and my wife told her that she used to live in Sweden for a few years. The American didn’t know where or what Sweden was. My wife said, "It’s a country, next to Norway." “Oh, Norway!” the American burst out. “Ole is from there! Do you know Ole?!” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinUsa Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 I'm Italian and my uncle is American. A few times we had his friends over (from an Army base in the town) and one of them asked me, "What's up with that tiny sink in your toilet?" It was the bidet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinUsa Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 I met an American tourist who was adamant that my country [Iceland] was a home-ruled territory under the US government. He said this during our nation's independence day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinUsa Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 I am white. I’m French Canadian. I was once told to “speak white” by an American... because I said "bonjour" rather than "hi" to a customer coming in the restaurant. IN QUÉBEC!
