<p dir="auto">Leave flowers by the side of the road, where someone died! (What a waste of money and beauty!)<br />
Expect the bereaved family of a deceased serve them food to even show up at their funeral. (Beyond rude; the callous stupidity of this never ceases to astound me and this is the 2nd worst in this list, only 2nd to the most stupid thing I listed on here! And that I would have to explain this is beyond insulting. Like…<br />
are you even human?<br />
)<br />
Light up airports and skyscrapers in other countries' flags<br />
"to honor their victims"<br />
.<br />
(Thoughts &amp; prayers, same bag!)<br />
Fraternities, sororities and their "hazing". (WTF?)<br />
Bring whores at a party for a man to ****, right before he gets married. (So beyond retarded there is no words!)<br />
Get offended when someone tells you the clinical truth.<br />
Seek to silence you (usually online) when you speak the truth that is contrary to the accepted, pollyanna gang mentality/postings.<br />
Call you "rude" for telling them the truth, after they asked you. Then go on to personally ad hominem attack you for things that have nothing to do with the topic at hand.<br />
Constant lying. White lies nonstop. Like calling ugly women 'beautiful' and getting mad when you point out they're lying, even though these women aren't related to them, and aren't within hearing (nor reading) distance.<br />
There's much more but that's enough for now.<br />
The culture clash is massive between our 2 Western countries. We'll never see eye to eye.<br />
¯_(ツ)_/¯<br />

<p dir="auto">Not saying goodbye.<br />
Drives me bonkers. You're chatting with someone, either online or via text, even email, having fun, all of a sudden? Dead stop!! Too ****ing rude to say "goodbye" or "goodnight"! UGH!!! Even at a party; back home, it takes fifteen min to say goodbye before leaving a party. In USA? Where the **** did they go? Why they took English leave?!<br />
Hanging up the phone without saying goodbye. Dafuq? (This is a new one).<br />
I had more but forgot them. OH yeah, this major one, right here:<br />
Letting their kids run amuck in public places. Major no no back home. People behave themselves (except ****ing foreigners!) in public. Maybe yanks need to spend time in Tokyo?<br />
(Not tolerated there either!)<br />
Except my people are more severe than even Asians when it comes to raising kids PROPERLY!<br />
You know "it takes a village", right? My people put your kid in place, in public. If you're rude enough to have raised brats, we will shut them up for you: people will go up to your kid and gently and nicely tell/get them to hush up. If the kid doesn't comply, the mother is talked to. If she talks back like a karen, they are escorted off the store, biz, train, plane. Whatever. We don't want none of your disturbing the peace! (We have special trap doors at the bottom of planes!)<br />

It is more weird that someone would care so much about "beauty" and use an apparent lack of it as an insult, as if attractiveness has any bearing on the quality of the person.<br />
