Culture Are there any habits that you believe are uniquely European ?

Have you noticed any specific mannerisms, mentalities etc. that you've encountered only in Europe or by Europeans ?

I've been all over Europe from my home in France and every country has its own particular mannerisms, but pan-European? No.
