I’ve heard of a case where an American man was ranting about “why can’t they speak English” despite him being in a country where it’s not even spoken (in this case: Japan), like WTF? He’s literally in another country where a different language is spoken, isn’t that already common sense? Yes, there are (some) Americans who are like this: assuming that everyone all over the world just knows English from the get go, but that’s not always the case.
Another was when an American woman wanted to pay for the bread at a French bakery using a crisp US$20 bill, but that was not accepted since France uses Euros as their main currency. I guess it stems from the fact Mexico accept that assuming that’s universal in countries where their own currency (like the Korea uses Won, UK uses the Pound, Oman uses Rials & etc). I mean, why do (some) Americans think that every country uses US Dollars?
I feel that the only people who can afford to visit other countries are the stupid, self entitled rich people of the US, so they give everyone a bad name.
Kind of like how the only people who get elected are the stupid, self entitled people so they give everyone a bad name.
I’ve not seen that level of entitlement at home; I don’t think I’ve seen anyone in person ever say “speak English!” in person like, ever.
