I know it's cringe as an american to play devil's advocate for other american's behaviors abroad, but I was reading this reddit thread about annoying american abroad habits, and most were fair, like yeah we dumb & rude I get ittttt blah blah blah. but then there were people complaining that american's will answer "where are you from?" with their town & state and the prevailing attitude was like "isn't that just like an american to think we know all their one horse towns" and idk I think we're just friendly lmao. like I would also take that question as a conversation starter. if I met an austrailian and asked where they were from and they said "australia" i'd be like no shit sherlock lol. I don't know beepboopville queensland, but I can't ask about it if you don't tell me. as if any of us yanks know the majority of the municipalities in the united states. if someone told me they were from googoogaga iowa I'd be like wow, never heard of it. tell me more. so that's the one thing I think ppl are misjudging americans on.
