What is your favorite “weird” or “strange” American custom?

We do that, but we also holler “Job Opening!”

In the military, they shout, “GET HIS NAME!”

Wow. I hate all of that. It isn’t funny. It just pisses me off. Kinda like when someone say “Are you working hard or hardly working”. God, you have no idea how bad I wanna kill everyone that says that.

Mass consumerism. Hooray!!!

Foam fingers at football games.

I like concert T-shirts. Do they wear those in other countries? We seem to have things printed across our chests a lot.

I like freedom

Is that garter thing at the wedding American?
What about people that applaud when the plane lands?
Kindergarten and Fifth Grade graduation ceremonies?

I also hate when people applaud when a plane lands. It’s like, “Yaaaaay we didn’t crash into earth with a fiery explosion.”

I highly suggest reading this

Seriously.
Its worth it.
Read all of it.

Another “weird” custom, is after you cut your meat, you switch your fork to your right hand, to put the meat in your mouth.

In Europe, the fork is kept in the left hand, and no “switching” occurs.

I don’t switch hands. I’m not proud…
