Things Americans Do In Movies And TV Shows That Make Absolutely No Sense To The Rest Of The World
The whole world is confused, and these things need to be clarified.
America is number one when it comes to confusing the whole world with its unusual habits and practices. If the whole world agrees on doing something a certain way, America decides to do it the "American way" and ignores what everyone else is doing, which is why we can't always understand some "American things."
For someone who has never visited the United States, the only view they have of the country comes from consuming American TV shows and movies. However, show business doesn't provide an accurate representation of what real American life is like, and people are often left deeply confused by what they see.
Some elements are repeated in movies and TV shows so frequently that you start to wonder if they are real aspects of American life. A typical American movie will always have at least one scene that showcases one of these typical "American moments," so it's no wonder people think they are real.
Confused Twitter users decided to tweet about some typical American things that you usually see in movies and TV shows. They asked some legitimate questions that many people around the world ponder every day; scroll down and check them out!

Hollywood movies tend to exaggerate many aspects of American life; this makes movies and TV shows more interesting, but it also confuses the rest of the world at the same time. Don't trust everything you see on TV and in movies because, most of the time, it just fits well with the scenario.
