You could be quietly buying groceries and suddenly witness two people debating parking etiquette like they're presenting a case before the Supreme Court. Everyone nearby pretends not to listen while hearing every single word. What's the most absurd argument you've accidentally witnessed in public?

Things that seem ordinary in the US can be surprising to visitors. From school buses and massive supermarkets to free refills and drive-through pharmacies, there's plenty that other countries do differently.

What everyday American habit would you have the hardest time explaining to someone from abroad?

You know the kind of place. The sign looks like it hasn't been replaced since the 90s, the parking lot has seen better days, but somehow the food is incredible.

What's that one local restaurant in your area that looks questionable but serves surprisingly good food?

A massive highway, a questionable roadside diner, and somebody saying "we should've left earlier" after sitting in traffic for an hour. Every single time 😂

Somehow there’s a highway, 14 traffic lights, roadworks, and a massive parking lot involved. Who designed this country

You leave home thinking it’ll be a normal three-hour drive, then somehow end up at a gas station selling 40 different flavours of beef jerky, a diner with a 12-page menu, and a giant statue of something that absolutely did not need to be that big. Bonus points if there’s a Walmart nearby where something deeply confusing is happening in the car park. What’s the most random thing you’ve come across on an American road trip?

Why do American parking lots feel like a survival game? Giant trucks reversing, people cutting across lanes, shopping carts rolling into the next zip code. What’s your worst parking lot experience?

Could be at Walmart, a gas station, or just driving around. What happened?

There are so many everyday things in America that nobody really thinks twice about until you explain them to someone from another country. What’s something you grew up thinking was totally normal that made you realize how oddly specific it is to American life?

Like people identifying as insert origin when it was their insert ancestor who was born there.

when your girl got a twin sister so you get confused and shoot up the school

I never felt like I belonged in the island where I'm from so I moved to the US, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to be exact. And it's the worst mistake I've made. I'm being harassed by nasty men in every corner to the point were I've had to buy a taser. They get their nasty faces up in my face and make the most puke provoking comments about my body. I feel way too conscious about talking Spanish because I've already gotten nasty looks and unsolicited advice of where I can "go learn English",wich I obviously don't need. I've been to the hospital twice for chest pains and they've sent me home with Tylenol,wich to be fucking honest,doesn't do anything. I thought people were nice here,but they aren't. Lots of vagabonds in the city,lots of thrash and bugs EVERYWHERE,lots of stinky places, stinky water, stinky mud. People are rude,not everyone but like a good 80% of the people stink,not literally.

Can anyone talk about their hometowns,pleaseeee! I need some hope restored. I've heard New York is good?

Is it just me or does no one want to be an adult anymore. Every time I see the news it’s just people screaming that trump isn’t their president or how if someone’s says you did something you did it no presumed innocence. If a black kid dies in Detroit no one cares but if a white guy does it the “he didn’t do nuffin” crowd comes in. It seems like if you tell someone something they don’t agree with your a bigot racist or fascist. I just don’t get it. I wish I could talk to people who feel the same way.
