1. Saying “I love your accent!”
Before I moved here, I never imagined that my dreary London burr made me sound smart or lovable. At first the compliments were nice, but then a New York tiger mom asked me to talk to her snoozing two-year-old in the hope that it would rub off. A bit much, I thought.5. Their over-zealous patriotism
We get it, you’re proud to be an American. It’s not like Brits are immune to nationalism, but perhaps we’re better able to separate feeling glad (I was lucky enough to be born in a country with democracy and Kit Kats!) from feeling proud. Shouldn’t the second one be reserved for my actual achievements? Oh, and to your average Brit, hanging a giant flag from your house is a tiny bit creepy.7. Insisting that turkey is tasty
There’s a good reason why Brits only eat this galumphing fowl once a year, then bitch about it behind its carcass. No matter how many saltwater baths you give your bird, turkey meat is dry, insipid and stringy. Yet Americans put the powdery poultry in everything – from burgers and chili to meatballs and lasagna – and make it the culinary centerpiece of not one but two celebrations.OH MY GOD YES
FUCKING WHY DOES EVERYONE IN THE US LOVE TURKEY?!
am I the only person here that hates it more than anything
ugh
it’s the worst
LMAO, this list… Spelling words the wrong way? Pretentious pronunciation??? Sorry for the natural shifts in language that come from ~250 years of development apart from the “motherland”.
One thing Brits do that drive Americans crazy: COMPLAINING ABOUT AMERICANS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
I WILL THROW THIS TEA IN THE HARBOR SO HELP ME
*Harbour.
