We love a good old fashioned Twitter that manages to culture us a little bit on some of the strange things that occur over in a foreign land like the U.K. For instance, apparently British people call their fanciest private schools public schools, which kind of makes zero sense. But hey, to each their own. For some more worldly content check out this AskReddit thread about Americans' biggest culture shocks when visiting Europe.

    Font - Jessica Rose @jesslynnrose British beaches are often just banks of sharp stones by the water and people here excitedly go to them on purpose. When you get there you can buy disappointing candy sticks called rock and seagulls will fight you. 2:17 pm · 04/02/2021 · Twitter for iPhone

    Font - Jessica Rose ... @jesslynnrose Signing "sincerely" in an email means off". Saying " off" in a pub means "I appreciate our friendship" 98% the time and 2% of the time it is a precursor to violence. 2:22 pm · 04/02/2021 Twitter for iPhone

    Font - Jessica Rose @jesslynnrose If there is a mistake at a coffee shop or restaurant British people will complain to everyone but the people who could fix the issue and if asked by those people will report that everything is fine. 2:25 pm · 04/02/2021 Twitter for iPhone

    Font - Jessica Rose ... @jesslynnrose On getting off a bus saying thank you to the driver is optional until the person leaving in front of you says thank you. Then you are legally required to say it. So is everyone behind you. 2:29 pm · 04/02/2021 · Twitter for iPhone
