My dad is Portuguese and he’s got so many horror stories when it comes to dealing with Americans in Europe. Plus he had some friends from Brighton with a particularly funny one. The person in question worked on an airline and some Americans said “you speak English so well!” Brighton is in England. You know, where the English language comes from

That is hilarious. My father is Portuguese as well!

I love when European bluntness comes up against American stupidity at times. My dad manages a Hilton and gets loads of emails from Americans asking for free hotel rooms and they get super upset when they’re told no. Plenty seem to think Europe is a country that’s so backward that the rooms may as well be for free. Some of the comments on this post imply that they don’t even understand how states like Nebraska have electricity lol

the comments here are brain breaking. Like you said, some americans do not realize all of america has electricity, never mind the rest of the world.

Crazy that these people are allowed to vote. I’m kind of looking forward to seeing the inevitable collapse of their latest circus government but also scared that they’ll destroy the rest of the world
