What Americans are not used to doing in everyday life

People in the States are different from ours, and all because they “cook” in their rules, laws, habits and traditions. Today, I picked up a few points about what average Americans do not do in everyday life, at a time when for our people these are almost everyday routine concerns.

Do not iron

Let me remind you that in America, thanks to feminists, there is practically no such thing as women’s and men’s work. Therefore, if in the States you need to use an iron, then not only women, but also men will be burdened with this. However, the Americans are not burdened, but simply do not iron anything. Thanks to the use of electric drying machines, clothes can not be ironed at all, but can be put on and worn immediately. The same goes for bed linen - washed, dried in the dryer and laid directly on the bed. T-shirts and sweaters that are not immediately worn can be hung on trempels, so they will remain wrinkle-free and ready for use.

All that requires the intervention of an iron (suits, classic shirts) is rented to the Vietnamese laundry and is taken the next day clean and ironed for relative pennies.

In case something needs to be ironed very urgently and right now, Americans use a special spray. They spray it on the wrinkled areas and put it in the dryer on a fast cycle. So in 10 minutes you can tidy up a wrinkled jacket or remove elongated knees on your pants. And some Americans don’t bother at all - they put on wrinkled T-shirts and run about their business.

Do not carve meat

It would never even occur to an American to buy a whole chicken or fish in a store (or at a fair). After all, only specially trained people can cut chicken into portions or gut and fillet fish in the States. What almost every housewife practices in our country is almost “higher mathematics” in the USA.

On the other hand, the Americans do not need it. Most simply do not cook, and eat in restaurants or purchased convenience foods. And those who spend their time on independent cooking will certainly not spend it on cutting meat or fish. Any part of the chicken or pork, necessary for cooking, you can buy in the supermarket is already fully prepared for cooking. The same is with fish: fillet with or without skin, and steaks are in every specialty store.

Do not repair sockets

Fixing a loose socket, replacing a light bulb, changing the gasket on a leaking faucet, or screwing in bolts to hang shelves (all of what we call “manly duties”)—in the States, this is done by specially trained people.

The average American simply does not know how to do this, and will not bother and figure it out. In rented housing, such actions are even prohibited (so as not to accidentally break something). And even if the house is yours, then why? After all, you can invite a Mexican who will do it for you.

Do not walk

If you do not take into account the inhabitants of megalopolises, then we can say that Americans do not walk.

All residents of one-story America are forced to move everywhere by car, because on foot you can only get to your neighbor’s house (and that’s if you live with him in the same residential complex). All local locations are usually scattered so far from each other that it is impossible to live without a car, in the literal sense of the word. Americans have developed a strong dependence on cars, and long standing on their feet already causes discomfort. At first, I laughed at the neighbors, who traveled by car to the pool in our residential complex (three minutes walk). Now I understand that the whole thing is in the habit. American fat men 's feet not accustomed to walking simply hurt, and it is difficult for them to walk.

Do not quarrel with neighbors

Americans always smile at you, even if you annoy them with something. It is not accepted here to sort out relations with neighbors who do not cut their lawns, turn on the music loudly or do not clean up after their dogs.

Americans do not want to spend their time on the proceedings and finding out the reasons. They simply report a violation of the rules to the police or an appropriate authority and continue to go about their business. So they fulfilled their civic duty, and did not spend much time on it, and did not spoil relations with their neighbors (after all, anyone could report a violation).
