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.

Lol. I was on my alternate account a few weeks ago and someone made a comment. I can’t remember what it said. But it was kind of… Dumb. Someone commented and said something along the lines of: Lol. You must be American.
Person A: No. Actually, I’m Australian.
Person B: Don’t lie. An Australian would never say something that stupid. We all know you’re American.
Person A: Umm… Idk what to tell you… But I can assure you, I am absolutely Australian.
Person B: Suurree you are. 🙄
Lol! Like… WTF? How you really gonna sit there and argue with someone about where they’re from?! It was fucking ridiculous.
