Things That Happen In The U.S. That Confuse Other Nations

Some common practices in the U.S. are actually quite strange to people from other countries. Can you complete these sentences that reflect what many countries find odd about the U.S.? Comment below if there are other mostly unique to the U.S. things that may baffle other nationalities. Keep it classy!

These things are not necessarily unique to the U.S. Not every American engages in these things.

Not every non-citizen of the U.S. would find these things weird

This quiz is not meant to demean the U.S. or Americans. I am American.
