What's the strangest thing about the UK as an outsider?

Saying, whey, when someone falls over, or drops a glass.

People apologising when passing in front of you at the supermarket.

Feels good, though.

I'm in the UK from Canada.

I can't imagine anywhere not apologising any time you mildly inconvenience another person.

UK here, but my American ex seemed to surprise that while, let's go for a pint after work,

in the US meant, let's go get a drink and then head home. Here in the UK, it's more like,

let's go get smashed after work. Apparently, you really mean that crap when you say one drink.

I was going to deny that,

but it's actually kind of true. I live in New York and when a friend says, want to grab a beer,

it means three to four beers at the most. If we're looking to get sassed, we always just say,

you want to drink tonight? This would be a convo with my other half. Me? Babe, moth out. Her?

Out, yeah. Not out, out. Yeah, babe. Just out. All right, see you soon. For context, out being a pub or a mate's house for a few, and out out being clubs, or a 12-hour bender or

whatnot. Putting an X at the end of their text messages. I didn't even realize this was a UK thing. I thought everyone did it.

Important to note, the levels of affection the amount of kisses provided indicates.

X is a casual acquaintance. Two X's, a friend. Three X's, definitely shagging and or in love.

Four X's, anything more than three X's, puts you firmly in the psychopath spectrum,

in my opinion. There's a guy I work with, and his wife sends about 20 X's after every single message,

even if it's just like a sentence long. Something's going wrong there. Yeah, the meanings of one or two

are a bit fluid, but if you go for three, that's definitely a leap beyond

basic friendship and courtesy.
