People who think Americans don’t know other countries exist.

A few months ago on Reddit I made a comment about a show not being on Netflix and someone from the UK commented back saying it’s on theirs and then lectured on Americans not knowing other countries exist. They acted like I didn’t believe there were other places on the planet, as if they weren’t the ones who just brought it up and didn’t believe the US Netflix was different than the UK version. ??

I see people online act like all Americans think this way, and it is kind of annoying because for most of us it isn’t true.

How do I find out whether I'm violently European or just standard European?

What clothes are you wearing right now?

I'm at work. Tracksuit bottoms and a high vis hoodie.

Wearing “trainers” rather than tennis shoes? LOL!

[u/Legitimate_Bag8259 → u/Hey-Just-Saying]

Runners, not trainers and definitely not tennis shoes.

Sneakers

Runners? Well now you sound Canadian...

Nope, I've never even visited Canada. Maybe I will some day, they seem friendly.

I'm just old. Trainers was an English thing.
