It annoys you so much because they are entitled enough to assume that everyone else knows US geography, when they don't bother to learn about anyone else.

To be fair (and yes I’m also Aussie) I get it, if someone says they are from the US my next question will be which state

As a Canadian I never understood this, cause Canada has provinces which is equivalent to states but we still always say Canada, unless they specifically ask for the city

and they always make the argument that “but if we say we’re from the united states people always follow that up with asking WHERE in the states” as if asking someone where they’re from in a country isn’t a perfectly normal follow up question when making small talk (and also a very universal experience that isn’t exclusive to americans) 😭

I always say “I’m from the US” which is IMMEDIATELY followed with “yeah I know that, which state” so I never know if I should say the state first or what

it's usually because if we say we are from the U.S, its met with "well obviously." and then we are asked what state or part of the U.S. it's easier to just go ahead and say the part. It is really dumb though when we say places in the U.S. that aren't well known and expect people to know anyways.

But also why do all Australians assume they know every town and city in the country. If I say I’m from North West NSW, it’s probs a safe bet you don’t know the town
