Why are there so many stereotypes of Americans today?
Oops, asked an obvious question...
Anyway, to affirm the stereotypes that I can remember at 3 in the morning...
I only weigh 130 lbs or so (for the non-americans, either 60 or 286 kgs, I can't remember which way the conversion factor goes). Not obese. This is the one false stereotype of America.
Americans are NOT good drivers, not in the slightest. I should know, I have to get cut off, flipped off, and generally ignored by them... EVERY DAY!
*puts a "rant" sticker at beginning of post*
Also, if you have any stereotypes about Americans being rude, keep them: we are. Totally and completely.
Finally, Americans are greedy. Had someone try to shoplift and another say she gave the wrong bill (a 50 instead of a 10? come on) at the store I work at.
Ok, rant over. Sorry, but it's 3 in the morning and I had to tell someone...
