Why are the British such Rude Pompous Ass Holes to Americans? | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1503139 United States 08/14/2012 01:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | That's because we Americans don't care for the King's crap. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 3852599 Too bad we didn't let Nazi totally destroy you before we joined the war and finished his forces off, so there wouldn't be an England to worry about being snobbish at Americans who saved her ass in the first place. Bunch of ungrateful snobs now, cowering under Hitler back then like chickens. Really? Britain declared war, how is that cowering? Not only that, but that declaration of war was to help the rest of Europe, while America sat on its hands. When you suggest you "saved" us, what you really did was deliver a final kick to an enemy who was already beaten down. Given your countries connections to Nazi Germany, it would seem you were waiting to see who would win then joined the winning team hoping to steal some glory. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1424342 It's a cultural thing, not necessarely personal or snobism (although it may be sometimes). Your table manners are horrible compared to how we are brought up and even if you do make an effort you talk very loud. Loud and rude sure beats going to war every 20 years or so. You people just can't stand each other, let alone Americans. The OP is right except she should have mentioned all Europeans. You're all a bunch of snotty self righteous assholes who are so jealous of America that you can't see straight. I'm glad there's a big ocean between America and you fucked in the head wannabes. And you talk about table manners like that was the most important thing in life. Don't embarrass yourselves by showing your arrogant pride. not jealous of america. i occasionally watch a hollywood movie, but i don't give a fuck about what goes on in the US. Why would I or any other European? we're happy as we are ...such an arrogant remark to think the world envies you. No one, but no one, could give a flying fuck about america or what goes on there. |

Maybe you saw yourself in the " rude, pompous, ugly fat British". What is the matter, did they not bow to you twisted american views? Did they not respect you, did they not see you as the very self important person you are? Knob. Why do the Yanks need to be loved by everyone, then get upset when we people cannot stand your company. |

Americans can be great company and very funny, but as tourists can be quite inadvertently obnoxious. I took my fiance for dinner in a bistro in Rome last year, the bistro had a special room for couples to dine in candlelight which had to be pre-booked. An indulgent American dad had taken his very loud 18-20 year old daughter there, clearly at her request. She talked constantly and noisily, and whilst he had the cultural and social awareness to be visibly a little uncomfortable, she was utterly oblivious. I also had the 'oh you guys are British...' Interuption from an ajacent table in another restaurant. I did not have a real issue with this, and made polite conversation, but by the same token, it is not really the done thing in Europe. I think there are two main pitfalls for Americans in Europe... Firstly, most Americans do not travel. It tends to be wealthier, more educated and more culturally aware Americans who come here. You expect to be treated as educated and cultured, but you need to give us time to adjust and realise for ourselves that you are, as this is very at odds with the America portrayed by American media broadcast here. You also need to accept that we have our own share of uncultured foul mouthed idiots too, and not imagine we all skip about sipping Espresso and reading Proust. Secondly, do not attempt to hijack or co-opt our culture. Self proclaimed 'Italian Americans' and 'Irish Americans' and so forth are largely hilarious to many Europeans. I have Irish ancestry only 2 generations back on one side and Italian 3 generations back on the other, but would only ever claim to be English as that is where I was born and raised. You are Americans. We all know you are Americans. So called 'Irish' Americans coming to London or Dublin and rattling on about the potato famine and so forth is utterly ridiculous. My best friend as a child had Irish parents but considers himself British as he was born and raised here. If I moved to Ireland and had children there, I would not try to make them feel any different to their friends or adopt an English accent or identity. In Europe, nationality is interchangeable within a generation or two. The American obsession with clinging to ancestral identities over multiple generations, when you no longer share any cultural similarity in reality is really quite odd. The Irish, Scots, English, Italians etc... only indulge your fantasy of cultural attachment to our counties in order to extract your tourist dollar. |

I cannot watch a war documentary without hearing how Britain won the war and how brave and ingenious they were. I am a South African living in New Zealand and my grandfather fought in that war to save these people from what was a foregone conclusion, the defeat of Britain. It galls me, and it must make Americans sick to their stomachs to hear these arrogant specimens proclaim their superiority while America gave it all to win the war for them. Give me James Taylor, Boston, Bob Seger, give me anything but please release me from Simon Coward. Feed them to the Reich! |

The English have just been victims longer. Quoting: Light to Go I think pissing Rome off in the 4th century hasn't helped matters.. then consistently pissing them off ever since put the nail in that coffin. Hey ho... In one way it is a shame that our relationship with the US is sliding down to zero.. but then again you illustrious leader is looking towards being BFF with Europe so at least you'll have a new BFF there :) Given the US increasing ties to Europe it won't surprise anyone that the UKs relations with the US will fracture more as the UK moves away from Europe. Got to admit that I find it interesting how we are portrayed in each others media (shaping how people think and respond to these types of threads).. breaking the friendship that existed between our two nations is paramount to make the leap to BFF with the EU. Such a conspiracy to manipulate peoples views otherwise it would be impossible to explain why US media cut the segment that honours those who died in the London bombings, that is certainly not something an ally would do.. or why the US media has employed numpties like Morgan and Cowell.. Your media (and Hollywood) shows us as the face of evil planning and our media is just as bad showing you guys in a similar poor light.. fat/loud/preachy/warmongers, I'll always remember one scene in a British film where the lead actors says "the only thing worse than Dragons is an American" There has to be a reason why each others media portrays the other as evil if not to server the bonds that have tied us for so long... An interesting road lays ahead of us... I'm not sure how fun it is going to be to find out where this is all going. |

Quoting: American 1423319 We went to five of the Canary Islands and were treated like shit by the British every where we went. They were snobbish ass holes to us even though we were very kind and polite. One young British cunt was sitting next to us in the restaurant at the hotel and would cover her fucking ears with her hands. My husband and I were talking very quietly like all the other diners. The snobbish Brits act like the Canary Islands belong to THEM and not the Spanish. Last year we took our family to Norway for vacation and also noticed that the British we encountered were very rude to us for no reason what so ever. Basically, just being at the same hotel they were in. The Brits call us fat Americans, etc. But let me tell you, Almost every single one of them were FAT and they all really did have bad teeth and OMG! You should see their feet! The resorts we stayed in were all 5 star so you had to have some money to go there. You'd think these "well to do" Brits would invest in some dentistry and a good pedicure. Yuch. |
