I have a grocery store that could be maybe a 5-10 minute walk from me, but there isn't a bridge over the stream between the neighborhood and the main road, so the walk is like nearly an hour. so I take the 5 minute drive instead.

I hate the misconception about walking. It's not that we can't walk, it's that everything just isn't that close together

I think the time off thing is what’s really confusing some people outside of the US. It’s not that Americans don’t WANT to travel, but logistically it’s incredibly difficult. At most people can have around 15 PTO days a year. A lot of those are used up for illnesses or other things like that. We simply do not have the time to properly make trips to Europe, Asia, and Africa.

American here, I compliment people all the time. If I like something I see, I totally open my mouth. So guilty of this.

“Don’t swallow your compliment. You never know who is starving.” Sometimes those simple acknowledgments in a store are the only face to face human interaction someone has that day.

American here, a 3 hour drive is nothing. I've heard many people from Europe say that's a lot. But 3 hours to the city and 3 hours back is just a nice little day trip. Growing up, we'd drive 13 hours to California to visit family. 🤷🏻♀️

I also think the fakeness misconception comes from our lack of follow through. We'll say like "we should get a coffee and catch up!" And then never follow up. But it's not fake, we really do want to do that it's just (to your point) we have no freaking time

American who lives in a cornfield 🙋🏽♀️It’s 30 miles to get to my nearest Walmart. Driving to town to shop is easily a 3 hours round trip.

I live almost across the street from the grocery store. My daughter and I would love to walk there more often, but even in a small town the roads and fast cars make it more difficult than it should be. I'm in a richer neighborhood though and I know how lucky I am to be this close to any food source.

Other countries don't realize we don't get the time off of work like they do to travel most places you have to work a year to get a week vacation. Plus having the funds to do it with

It was really kind of you to speak up for us. We certainly aren’t saints but it’s so nice for you to notice some positive things about culture here and tell others. Thank you.

well, as an American, I was raised to be like "you never know what can make a person's day" cuz with all the work we have to do, we dont have alot to look forward to so I let people know if I find something I can compliment. 🥰
