11 American Behaviors That Are Considered Rude Around the World
Just because you’ve mastered the art of not looking like an uncultured, uncouth slob in your country doesn’t mean those skills translate to the rest of the world. In fact, many things considered innocuous or even polite where you’re from might raise (or sternly lower) eyebrows in other parts of the world. With that in mind, here are 11 behaviors that are widely viewed as acceptable in the United States but considered rude in other corners of the globe.


TIPPING
WHISTLING
OPEN-MOUTH LAUGHING
SHOWING UP ON TIME
GOING SANS-MASK WHILE SICK
OPENING A GIFT IN THE PRESENCE OF THE GIVER
DOING PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING LEFT-HANDED
BLOWING YOUR NOSE IN PUBLIC
PUTTING YOUR HANDS IN YOUR POCKET WHILE SPEAKING

Being loud should be added to the list.

LOL.

I once showed up on time at a party in Russia and the hostess wasn't even home yet.

The pocket thing and the loud nose blowing are just good manners everywhere.

The left hand thing is key to remember, you really don't want to touch theirs either.

why does anyone listen to any retard that isn't an American, you do understand that every nation that whines about America and even the ones that don't have been worthless and evil and despised by their own for literally thousand of years, these filthy non American ways are what drove American to be founded in the first place, and it wasn't until America had been dumbed down enough to accept filthy Asian commie ways, eurotrash dumbfuckery fascim and all the other BS that has kept the world enslaved for thousands of years that any of you dared speak any thing but praise for America, you will regret the day America adopted your ways I assure you skull_fing

Just because you’ve mastered the art of not looking like an uncultured, uncouth slob in your country doesn’t mean those skills translate to the rest of the world. In fact, many things considered innocuous or even polite where you’re from might raise (or sternly lower) eyebrows in other parts of the world. With that in mind, here are 11 behaviors that are widely viewed as acceptable in the United States but considered rude in other corners of the globe.


TIPPING
WHISTLING
OPEN-MOUTH LAUGHING
SHOWING UP ON TIME
GOING SANS-MASK WHILE SICK
OPENING A GIFT IN THE PRESENCE OF THE GIVER
DOING PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING LEFT-HANDED
BLOWING YOUR NOSE IN PUBLIC
PUTTING YOUR HANDS IN YOUR POCKET WHILE SPEAKING

This all nonsense. Except for being loud, but there are people like that everywhere.

Blowing your nose?? Should you let mucus stream down til it is on your pants?

Some of those are valid; others aren't. And some are ok in certain places, but not ok other places. I've traveled a lot. I always tip. And it's always appreciated.

Interesting list, though. I can understand how some of those things would be offensive/rude to some people.

Just follow the old adage: When in Rome...

Re: 11 American Behaviors That Are Considered Rude Around the World
Some Americans lack nuance. Not saying that's bad or good. But some definitely lack nuance.

As a matter of fact, some Americans' lack of nuance is refreshing to a lot of people.

In an extreme example, picture Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase in the "Vacation" movies...especially "European Vacation" lol). Yeah, he can be offensive to some, and loud, etc., but it's an innocent, naive enthusiasm. In other words, he's being himself and his actions aren't contrived. Can be very refreshing.

Yes, and let's blame Italians for the Romans invading most of the known world at one time.

Or Scandinavians for Viking raids.

Or the Huns and Mongols and Arabs for invading Europe.

See how that works?
