28 Subtle British Traits That Are A Perfect Reflection Of Our Culture

    It's true, we do say "sorry" as an act of aggression.

    1. All Brits have asked someone how they are twice by accident.

    2. We also love getting in a queue without always knowing what for.

    3. And asking our fellow countrymen why they're queuing โ€“ that's a classic British thing.

    4. We often will put a disclaimer in front of our opinions in case they offend someone.

    5. We have a habit of pronouncing non-English words quite badly e.g. qwez-a-dilla.

    6. We all LOVE a good moan.

    7. There's nothing quite like cheering when someone falls over or drops something, to a Brit!

    Why do all British people have the uncontrollable urge to shout โ€œwheyyyโ€ when a glass smashes in a restaurant?

    8. We sometimes say "sorry" as an act of aggression.

    9. Actually, we just say sorry all the damn time. Sorry.

    10. We are deadpan AF when making sarcastic comments.

    11. We love putting a "kiss" at the end of our text messages.

    12. And saying "bye" like a thousand times at the end of a phone call because we just don't know how to end a conversation.

    13. We all have STRONG opinions on supermarkets and their individual vibes.

    Tesco, Sainsburyโ€™s, ASDA: โ€ข boring โ€ข no middle aisle โ€ข cashiers reasonably fast Lidl and Aldi: โ€ข cashiers break sound barrier โ€ข copyright law? who is she โ€ข go in for bread and coffee, leave with 9 sporks and a haunted bin

    14. For some reason, we all have fake AF relationships with our neighbours.

    15. When it's raining (all the time), we leave our umbrellas by the door in a shop or cafe.

    16. Never has a Brit spoken a word to a stranger when taking a lift.

    17. We ALWAYS offer a cup of tea to our house guests.

    18. And, when aboard, the average Brit will usually begin craving a good cup of tea just like the ones at home.

    19. We avoid the dentist at all costs (no yellow teeth jokes please).

    I'm glad the Dentist calls me the day before to remind me to cancel my appointment.

    20. We are ALWAYS up for a drink.

    Just overheard a girl order a Bloody Mary when apple juice wasn't available, which is very similar to how I make most of my life decisions.

    21. Especially when it involves going to the holy land of pub!

    22. Often, we feel oddly obliged to get a round of drinks in, even if we don't actually know the people we're buying for.

    23. We adore singing ridiculous drinking songs to get our mates hammered!

    24. Yes, British men will go outside with no top on at the first hint of sunshine.

    25. And we'll almost undoubtedly have a barbecue to make the most of good weather. I mean, we only get a few weeks of sun a year after all!

    26. Generally, we do enjoy the beige-est of foods.

    27. A Brit will 100% talk about the weather when there's nothing else to chat about.

    28. And lastly, there's nothing quite so British as not wanting to complain about bad service in a restaurant/hairdressers/shop. We ๐Ÿ‘ just ๐Ÿ‘ can't ๐Ÿ‘ do ๐Ÿ‘ it! ๐Ÿ‘
