Hello! I think we could all use a little levity in our lives. Coincidentally, I recently stumbled upon the Shit Americans Say subreddit, where people share screenshots of the most ignorant thing they've seen people in the US say about the world. And honestly? It's the best reprieve. Enjoy!
This person genuinely believes America is "too big for public transport." Someone please tell that to our train and bus systems.
This person thinks free will only exists in the US.
This person thinks servers LOVE the tipping system. I'm not sure where they've been in the last 10+ years.
This person thinks WhatsApp is designated to third-world countries... Despite its massive popularity around the globe.
This person would be shocked to know that a Euro is worth more than the US dollar.
I don't even know what to say here.
This person has no idea how commonly the metric system is used.
This person claimed the US is the "most creative nation in the world" and challenged people to name a revolutionary invention created outside of the United States. A simple answer: Cars.
This person thinks only Americans drink water. As if we don't all need water to survive.
This person thinks Europeans can't comprehend the concept of steak, eggs, and bacon.
This person claims Silicon Valley "built the modern world" and wonders why they shouldn't run it. My only response is... imagine Zuckerberg running the world. Help.
This person said that ALL of Europe is dangerous, and honestly, that's probably for the best. I'm sure they don't like American tourists, anyway.
These two Americans got in an argument over the stupidest thing.
This person tried to make fun of someone for misusing a word... while literally using a word not acknowledged by dictionaries.
This person can't convert Celsius to Fahrenheit.
This person thinks currency in all other countries is basically "monopoly money."
This person bragged about living in the US. A place they think they can openly criticize their government without being arrested... (Who's going to tell them?)
This person thought the symbol for US currency was "universal for 'money.'"
This person referred to a building built circa 200 B.C. as a "copy" of a fort in Florida. You know. A state in a country founded a few hundred years ago.
This car owner.
This person said people living in New York and Arizona — who literally speak the same language, use the same currency, and have the same political history — are as different as those who live in Iceland and Germany.
This person thinks TikTok — whose parent company is based in China — was made for Americans.
This person genuinely believes worker strikes are "mainly really an American thing." Clearly, they're not familiar with France's game.
This person seriously said, "Every significant cultural item comes from the US," and I need them to get out more.
For context, the person commented on a video where someone in London ordered "chips."
This person thinks US citizens should "never be embarrassed to live in the USA," and I'm embarrassed just reading through this list.
This person decided that the US has the authority to decide what people of other nationalities and ethnicities call themselves.
This clearly stubborn and confused being.
And finally, this person who thinks that only the US allows its citizens the right to free speech.
What's the most ignorant thing you've ever heard someone from the US say? Let us know in the comments.
