In different countries, there are vivid practices that are unique and stand out. Whether it's food, mannerisms, or even fashion, every place has its pros and cons, as well as, its special factors. What's more interesting, however, is how people of different cultures experience these differences. Getting a glimpse of foreigners exploring vibrant art and food in France or Americans being stunned by the leisures of European countries is a delight. There are also some parts of a lifestyle in a country that leave a person from a foreign land in utter disbelief.

For instance, one could never imagine having a glass of wine in public spaces in the US. Nor would one even think of forgetting to leave tips in the US. A user, u/ComfortableUse6239, called on Redditors, asking them to share what habits they think would be perfectly normal in European countries but "horrifying" in America, and in no time, the post had impressive responses. With over 4,000 comments, people were on a roll citing the differences they have observed between the two continents and it's a trunk of knowledge and adventure to explore!
