Non-Americans Share The Dumbest Thing An American Ever Said To Them
Crazy things like "Our sun is brighter!", "Do you speak European?", "Do you live in a pyramid?" and so much more!
America, the land of the free—and REALLY stupid questions, it seems! Recently, relationship expert Dr. Helen Fisher noted, “The things we take for granted can often be the most surprising to others.” This sentiment rings true as users shared their replies to the question, “What is the dumbest thing an American has ever said to you?” and the responses did not disappoint!
America is a quirky place, and many things that seem 'normal' to the everyday American are surprisingly strange to the rest of us. In saying this, there's likely nothing more surprising than an American, upon hearing you are from Egypt, asking if you live in a pyramid! (Yes, this actually happened!)
Sharing these stories blew up on TikTok, and people are sharing some seriously funny stories—some lighthearted and some outright crazy. As Gretchen Rubin, happiness researcher, puts it, “Humor is a great way to connect with others.” We have shared some of our absolute favorites below! Check them out and be prepared to be very shocked... don't say we didn't warn you!
