Non American Share American Customs They Just Don’t Understand

Ah, the fascinating world of cross-cultural confusion! In this post, we’re setting sail on a virtual voyage around the globe, guided by the wisdom (or bewilderment) of non-American folks who’ve taken to Reddit to share their bewilderment over some of the quirkiest customs the good ol’ U.S. of A. has to offer.

From tipping practices that leave them scratching their heads to the mystifying allure of American cheese slices, our international friends have been on quite the cultural rollercoaster ride. We’re talking about customs that, for them, are as elusive as Bigfoot sightings—peculiar, mysterious, and often downright hilarious.
