What are some 'weird' things about the US according to the British perspective?
A British woman who recently moved to the US shared some cultural curiosities she finds "weird" about the country.
One thing she finds surprising is that many Americans can't identify her accent, despite her considering it to be quite "neutral."
She mentioned that people often mistake her for being French or Scottish.
Another thing she finds strange is the openness of American men when it comes to flirtation, especially Uber drivers. She claimed that it's common for Uber drivers to ask for her number or invite her on a date or vacation.
