Americans have no problems jumping on the couch in sneakers or shoes, it has always been interesting why they do not take off their shoes.
If you have ever been abroad, you probably noticed how different the habits of foreign residents are from ours. A lot surprises us, and a lot we just don’t understand. We are very fond of studying the intricacies of behavior of representatives of other nationalities. So today we're going to tell you, How people live in America And what American habits will seem strange to us.
Let’s start with the classic American habit. Even if you haven’t been to the United States, you’ve probably seen in movies or TV shows that people don’t take their shoes off in the house. Moreover, the locals have no problem jumping on the couch in sneakers or shoes, without even thinking about taking them off. But where did this habit come from?
If you ask the Americans themselves, they will say that they are simply more comfortable and comfortable. Walking barefoot or wearing socks for them is akin to something very personal. Of course, shoes can be removed even in America. However, it depends on the floor covering. For example, this can happen when a carpet or carpet is on the floor.
By the way, the same applies not only to Americans, but also to English, Australians and New Zealanders. Do you think the point is that these countries will also have cleaner streets than ours?
While our women are prepping to throw out garbage or go for bread, American women go to the store in their pajamas. Sometimes men do the same thing. Americans don’t really care about their appearance. Comfort and convenience are more important to them. The Chinese and Koreans have the same habit.
There are smiling and positive people in America. A person who grew up in the harsh post-Soviet realities does not know how to walk down the street and smile at every passer-by. But it's the norm for Americans. When they meet, they ask how they are doing. However, most often it is just a courtesy. A lot of people think it's fake.
The locals love the cool. If the establishment has air conditioning, be sure it will turn on at full capacity. In addition, in winter and summer, ice water is served in cafes and restaurants. Don’t be surprised if there is more ice in the glass than the drink itself.
In the U.S., men do not give their ladies flowers in person: it is considered a sign of bad manners. Instead, luxury bouquets are delivered by couriers. This usually happens after a date or in honor of a holiday.
Some habits of Americans used to seem strange to us. But now we often do the same. For example, in America, it has long been customary to take coffee with you and drink it on the go. This is especially true during the morning rush. And our people are no longer surprised. Some coffee shops open even at 7 a.m., and they are scattered at every step.
Also in the States it is not customary to make acquaintances on the street. If a man likes a woman and approaches her to meet her, she may think that he is just molesting her. Therefore, Americans are used to looking for a couple on the Internet. For this, there are special sites and applications in phones. We adopt this habit and do the same.
But the tradition of organizing mini-date parties has not yet taken root in the CIS countries. In America, they are called speed dating. The essence of such an event is to get acquainted with 10-15 people at once in one evening. A short dialogue helps to get to know each other better. And if the spark is lit, this is a sure sign that it is possible to continue communication.
Americans do not like to walk or use public transport. For them, the car is not a sign of prosperity, but just a banal necessity. No matter how close the place to go, they will certainly do it by car.
There are patriots of their country in America. They will not complain about the state and local authorities without reason. If in the life of an American there is some household problem, whether it is a broken shop in front of the house or an untidy yard, the first thing he will try to cope with it himself.
The list of unusual habits of Americans goes on forever. If you have encountered something interesting, be sure to add our selection in the comments!
