Hey Pandas, What's Something You Do That People From Other Countries Find Weird? (Closed)

Saying "oop sorry" when:
- you run into an inanimate object
- you think there's a slight possibility you may have been in someone's way even a little
- someone runs into you

Beans on toast is acceptable, as breakfast, lunch or at tea time.

I'm sure some people might find how we spell words that usually end with "or" weird. I live in Canada, and we go by the spelling of England when we write those words in English.

Example: We spell words like colour or flavour with a U between the O and the R, whereas people living in the US spell it without the U.

A lot of my gaming friends from the US find it weird when we talk on Discord, and I use spelling like that.

We became close to a woman from Belarus and she found it odd we would have hamburgers for dinner. In Belarus, hamburgers are a "snack."

Maintain lots of personal space, even pre-pandemic. It's already been mentioned that Canadians say "sorry" a lot, I think that other countries think we're so polite because we say it when we bump into or brush against someone else--when we feel like we're in each others' personal space. We just have so much space in general we've gotten used to not having to crowd together, and it's unnerving in other countries when people press much closer--to fit in public transport, for example. This means that we're likely to defer to anyone being more pushy. If a Canadian arrives at a door at the same time as you they're likely to let you go first to avoid getting too close, and both parties may consider that politeness.
And...Canadians don't really deserve the "nice" reputation. We want to avoid conflict, but we can be incredibly judgemental behind your back. In regards to the US, for example, there's a line that goas something like "Americans are benevolently ignorant about Canada, while Canadians are malevolently well-informed about the United States".

“Okay i amready now, lmao it’s warmer than it usually is”

Went to Japan and tried to tip at a restaurant... the waitress literally ran halfway across the parking lot to find us and return our money. She was so nice! It just struck me as odd.

I wore shorts in Germany. Apparently that's not very common, since most of the women and girls I saw wore dresses, skirts, or pants.

The size of the cracks in bathroom stalls in America.

Speaking just one language.

Own guns

Hold a raw gutted herring by its tail, dip it in diced raw onion, then bend your head back and lower it into your mouth.
It's one of our national dishes. Yay for Dutch cuisine.

Eating raw grounded pork with onions for breakfast om bread rolls. Commonly known as "Mett Bröttchen" here in Germany

I'm Korean and whenever I made pinky promises, I would "seal" the promise with my thumb. However, only other Korean kids did the sealing with your thumb part and non-Koreans didn't. I remember telling a friend and she asked why we do that when it's weird.

Eating using our fingers and not cutlery.

Saying y'all. I feel like that's not even common throughout America.

In Japan many people bow slightly when talking on the phone.

Have a cat, freaking out two people from other countries, who were taught that cats are evil.

I know some people find it strange to walk barefoot around at home

The entirety of Indian culture. Most people from other countries find it weird. From our food palate, way of cooking, our traditions, to our habits.. everything. I know some will disagree. But I'm talking of the majority.
