I'm from the U.S. I spent 2 years in Chile and one of the funny things they do is that they won't let you go out into the cold after drinking hot coffee or tea. They say a gust of wind will come across your face and give you the "Crooked Mouth", which means that your muscles on one side of your face will tighten up and you'll look funny for the rest of your life! Funny!
So, since I'm obviously unable to view my culture like people outside of the U.S. do? What are some of the silly things that we American's do? (Other than all the political crap that everyone talks about). I mean on an individual basis, not the government. Thanks!

Americans sue a lot and often for such bullshit reasons. An American will buy hot coffee, burn his tongue by drinking it when it's still too hot and sue the restaurant for millions. What's even worse is that they often win the case in court too.

Taking things for granted...
And not being open-minded...
