The Americans are the ones enjoying life a bit by laughing and having a good time. Meanwhile the stuck up Europeans are eating their fondue and the Asians are busy rolling their sushi.

You can easily recognize most Americans eating in a restaurant because we're the ones who feel it necessary to juggle our knives forks between bites instead of just using our forks with our left hands.

i didnt think that's the image i had. the only time i was fat was when i was pregnant. so it doesn't count. i think i had a fanny pack when i was... 5. i do not own white sneakers. i was a waitress, so i'm nice to the staff, and i don't eat food that's bad for you on a regular basis. actually, my entire family is like that. but i don't understand why the rest of the world is eating american food, (i must have seen a starbucks as frequently in london as i have in new york) but hates us for being fat. (also, recently i read an article saying that french women are getting pretty hefty also. it was on yahoo news) loads of american musicians have world tours, so lots of people like our entertainment too. very hypocritical, in my opinion.

Oh my. I have to assume this question was posed by a European. Is the irony lost on anyone that the answers given were mainly rude and stereotypical? How would any of you feel if I rephrased the question using English (bad teeth), French (smelly), Irish (drunk) and so forth?
Here is a revelation. I wouldn't. I have friends of many nationalities and have learnt that we are all human beings not to be defined by stereotypes. It's simply rude and calls into question your upbringing and lack of education.

The only way you could is homing in on the way they speak. Other than that, it's nearly impossible. We aren't homogeneous in the sense that people in many other countries are.

My wife and I went to Barcelona on our honeymoon. A man gets on the hotel elevator one day and says to me in perfect American "could you hit four please". I press the button and then ask "Are we that obvious". He said "You're wearing tennis shoes and blue jeans, you're obviously Americans".

the fat ones, the ones who're eating humongous triple-paddie hamburgers and piles of french fries as high as Mt. Everest.
the one wearing unfashionable bagg T-shirts, blue jeans, sneakers with fanny packs and nylon outdoor coats
the one who's the loudest, chattiest

Which ever ones are rude to their servers. If they complain about service or about being "inconvenienced" chances are they are Americans.
