As someone who grew up in the United States, I'll admit, the country's social etiquette would probably be very confusing to a visitor.
In a Reddit thread started by u/Ilianxxkirby, people discussed some of the social rules that are accepted in the US, but may be considered unusual in other countries.
We've rounded up some of the most discussed topics, so you can agree or disagree with them for yourself.
Here are 13 unspoken social rules in the US that will make you think, "That's not normal in other countries?":
1. It is generally frowned upon to stare at strangers, or to make too much eye contact with someone you barely know.
2. It is extremely rude to comment on somebody's weight.
3. Snapping your fingers at a waiter to ask for the check is a big no-no.
5. In public settings, Americans are big on personal space.
6. Americans place a bigger importance on lines than some other countries do. Therefore, cutting in line is considered very rude.
7. Most of the time, you can't haggle for prices, and you can't ask the cashier to take off tax.
8. It is generally considered taboo to mention politics to someone you don't know well.
9. Americans may invite you somewhere, but it is generally agreed upon that you should not show up somewhere unexpectedly.
10. It is rude to ask how much money someone makes, or how old someone is.
11. When someone asks, "how are you?" no one is actually expecting you to answer honestly.
12. Not finishing your meal at a restaurant is completely normal, and it is okay to ask for a to-go box.
13. You should always tip, even if you thought the service was bad.
