Americans. We just don't get them at all. We just dont. Theres a few that confuse us very much. Things that you wouldn't see an irish do.
1) how the feck can you eat so much sugar in the morning? ( If it isn't cereal that would be more appropriate as a dessert, then it's rashers covered in maple syrup or porridge with butter in it )
2) whats wrong with a good old letterbox on your front door? (Why aren't you scared your neighbours are going to steal your post?)
3) why do you need a drive thru for everything? ( A drive thru for coffee is a bit much. It's not that hard to park your car and run into a shop to get a drink. They even have drive through off licences)
4) Why do you always threaten to call your lawyer the minute something very minor happens? ( You'll be hearing from my lawyer" is something practically no Irish person would ever say )
5) Why do American teenagers look so old? ( Made, the show on MTV, was always set in American high schools. The students were all sixteen, but almost always looked as if they would pass as twenty five years old.)
6) Why cant you have proper public bathrooms? ( The gap between the door and the floor always looks like it's about 2 feet tall and they insist on having huge gaps between the door and the frame. Why even bother with the door?)
7) Pharmaceutical T.V ads ( How do they sit there watching the TV list off every terrible side effect possible and not get uncomfortable? )
8) You cant possibly enjoy chocolate that much ( Since they bought Cadbury's our chocolate seems to stray a little bit further from the light each day too)
9) Everything about Thanksgiving is absolutely ridiculous ( This is an actual holiday to celebrate killing natives. Why do you need so much food? Why do you go so over the top with Thanksgiving sales the next week? )
10) Whats wrong with using a bin?
11) Is it really that necessary to clap at the end of a movie? Who are you clapping for? Over here we just get up and walk away
12) why do you seem to take pride in destroying the environment? ( Do you really need such big cars? What would they say if they saw a 1999 Nissan Micra? )
13) why do the kids have such weird names? ( The fact that there is a man in the world called Channing Tatum is enough evidence. )
14) Promposals ( scarlet is the only word for this.
15) Going to prom sober ( How do they cope with all of that dancing and cringey stuff when they are stone cold sober? )
16) Your obsession with wearing shoes that are like square
17) And flip flops with cargo shorts. ( But even more frustratingly, flip flops with jeans. Just. Not. On )
18) Using cups as measurement. ( Do you realise that cups vary greatly in size? )
19) Obsessions with UFOS ( Unidentifiable Food Objects?)
20) why do you seem to take enjoyment in doing many dangerous things?
21) Red cups at parties ( I know there was a stage in 2011 where these became pretty popular in Ireland, but they were too expensive to ever become sustainable. Realistically the only reason American's can afford to drink from red cups is because they wait until they're old enough to get a mortgage to start drinking )
22) Why are you ok with people opening carrying guns? ( How is this legal? )
23) And completely ignore the fact that so many of Americans marry really young, am I right?
24) The state of rashers in America. They look disgusting
25) What the feck is meatloaf?
