Strange Culture - Penguin - 02-18-2018
I was gonna make this a forum game, but couldn't think of any working rules so instead let's just have a nice chat about those weird and wacky differences there are between the countries we live in.
For example, WHO THE FUCK BOILS THEIR WATER IN THE MICROWAVE BUY AN ELECTRIC KETTLE kthnxbye

ok so in britain a lot of places will have a sink with seperate hot and cold taps. this is cos originally we had shitty hot water tanks which were prone to getting contaminated, so we kept the hot water seperate from our drinking water. nowadays, idk, people just like it i guess. mostly you only get it in old buildings or restaurants though.

thus you must repetitively dart your hands from one side to the other to form a perfect equilibrium of 'Luke-warm' water, without scalding your hand or getting hypothermia

Here in the states we think every other country loves us but we don’t realize how many really hate us

The kissing on cheeks in alot of different countries. If you try that here you will get smacked around a bit.

In norway, we dont talk to anyone on the streets, but if you're out walking in the forest or the mountains you HAVE to say hi to everyone you meet....
Also, norwegian people only take up the seats closest to the middle of the bus, and if they are taken, people would rather stand than sit next to people
