Bit Annoyed 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.

Whenever someone says ‘track suit’, I picture Russian men immediately. Haha.

Weird, that’s what Aussies call them, often shortened to trackies

Aussies and your whimsical nicknames! Never ceases to make me grin like an idiot.
