polite

When you've lived in one place your whole life, you get used to the various customs and behaviors that are standard in your country. So much so that traveling abroad can be a huge culture shock for a lot of people. These American Redditors are sharing the things they realized are completely unique to American culture.

Oh, Canada. The land of bagged milk and hockey fanatics. Of politeness and free healthcare. Of maple syrup and saying "sorry" way too much. At least, those are the stereotypes that we Americans know and love about our friends to the north. Are any of these things actually accurate? We don't know, but we kind of hope so!

Canada just gives us so much meme fuel with their hockey obsession, extreme cold weather and ridiculously polite demeanor.
