28 Subtle Things That Every British Person Can Definitely Relate To

Everyone has certain notions about specific people from particular races and, over the years, has developed many stereotypes about them, such as Americans being in love with baseball, Australians eating Vegemite with literally everything, Filipinos pointing with their mouths instead of fingers, and Canadians being hockey lovers. The same goes for the Brits—their traits and culture are well-known all over the world because of their depiction in films, books, and other sources of media that people consume.

People have mixed impressions and thoughts about British people and the overall vibe they exude, mainly because of the many different stereotypes attached to their identity. Some people see them as extremely polite and gentle, while others can vouch that they are actually rude, and many perceive them as cold and emotionless.

But like any other culture and country, it's never fair to judge them based on what we see on screen and what people say about them on the Internet. Sure, it's safe to have these common notions embedded in our minds just in case we find ourselves needing to interact with the Brits, but at the end of the day, what we do or say all comes down to having enough respect.

All seriousness aside, there are indeed some things that almost every single British person has done, and it's amusing how they find themselves actually living out the stereotypes that the world paints them to have. Here are some of the subtle things that every British person can definitely relate to:

1. British people have a habit of accidentally asking someone how they are—twice.
