-Removed-"Potting shed weeds"? Apparently this is a British-ism.
As I said, clearly you don't know me.
Stop the gaslighting.
Here's a clue. Once someone understands that you're gaslighting them, it's time to stop the gaslighting. You're busted. Continuing to gaslight in the face of being sussed out is just stupid.
@fmf saidHe was impolite, to be kind. Normal people know enough to show some empathy for their fellow humans, especially face-to-face. To talk about oneself endlessly while giving no equal time to their conversation partner is bad manners, at the very least.
Interesting. Maybe Americans don't notice it when they do it to each other. I would not describe him as an "ass hole". He was a personable chap. I've met a fair few like him. The Americans who pass through my neck of the woods are for the most part nice folks.
In fact, wasn't this your entire point in bringing this up?
@fmf saidHow so? How is this ironic? Isn't you saying "Oh, the irony" just more gaslighting? Aren't you (again) lying just to advance your own agenda of getting others to believe that somehow, I am the gaslighter here?
Oh the irony.
PSA: If you find you cannot stop, even in the face of being told to stop what you're doing because everyone sees you doing it, then maybe you need professional help.
@vivify saidI suppose some of this is true, but stereotypes are not very important. Once 2 people from different countries meet and get to know each other stereotypes usually fade away.
Are the British (specifically, the English) aware that Americans stereotype them as very as intelligent, well-spoken, logical, classy people?
Whenever the British are portrayed in US media by American actors, they're always shown as refined, distinguished, Sherlock-Holmesian individuals. Are people from Britain aware that this is how Americans see them?
Americans ster ...[text shortened]... ogant, jingoistic people. Apart from those, are there any other types you guys have about Americans?
