Pavement princesses. The North American Man®'s gender affirming vehicle.
I lnow multiple dudes that work as box throwers in Walmart warehouses that drive $100k trucks, trucks that will never see any kind of work that's appropriate for their size. Might haul a few 2x4s from home depot every once in a while.
They want to own a home, but they're making massive payments on a huge truck instead. 🤙

Monoculture. I live in Canada, and it's pretty rare for a person, and especially a group, to have only one culture they draw from to firm their habits and identity. Even immigrants have their home and whatever mishmash of a culture their work ends up with. Its somewhat easy to tell travelers apart from residents by them having a discernible accent. If I can tell your accent is Irish, and not just some combination of Irish, British and Ukrainian, then your not here permanently.
I had a prof in college from Canada, whose parents were German and Korean, and you could hear both accents at the same time. I never encountered such a thing. Also funny that he didn't have a single bit of Canadian accent.

Staring, the only patriotism you get is local patriotism about once city/region, no national flags, bread,
Germany? What's up with the staring thing?
Almost everyone has a sauna or at least access to one at or near their home.
Finland for those wondering.

Queuing apparently. Which I really don't understand wtf everyone else is doing to wait their turn. Well I guess except Japan.
Being very touchy and physical.
Cheek kisses are usual for strangers. And it's normal to touch people you barely know or have a small friendship.
Country is Spain.
How small does the friendship need to be for me to casually smooch all the pretty members of your society?

Do old people just stop right in a doorway blocking everyone behind them outside the US? I've been to other countries (specifically Ireland, Germany and Mexico), and didn't experience this but I spent much less time there than I have here.
Any Vietnamese photos of people doing weird things
Look up cursed images Vietnam and you'll find some good ones I swear
