36 Ridiculous Customs, Traditions and Cultural Quirks That Only Make Sense Stateside
America in a fish bowl
The United States of America is a lot like Kanye West. It desperately needs the entire world’s attention and admiration, but once every eye is on it, it completely freaks out if any judgment is thrown its way.
This might be hard for the good ol’ US of A to hear, but not everything it does deserves praise from the rest of the world. Some things deserve massive eye-rolls.
So yes, the music is (mostly) great, but the views and opinions… Not so much.
