Take stock of the top ten exotic living habits in the United States

Americans 'love of keeping pets seems to be "world-renowned and world-renowned." Some people say that there are more people than dogs in China, and there are more dogs than people in the United States. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is not without reason. There is a special program on how to raise animals on TV every day, which guides people on how to raise these small animals; almost every family in the United States has dog-like cats. They will let cats and dogs into the bedroom, go to bed together, and serve them with three meals a day.

1. Cat and dog culture-Americans love pets more than lovers seem to be "world-renowned and world-renowned" by loving pets. Some people say that there are more people than dogs in China, and there are more dogs than people in the United States. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is not without reason. There is a special program on how to raise animals on TV every day, which guides people on how to raise these small animals; almost every family in the United States has dog-like cats. They will let cats and dogs into the bedroom, go to bed together, and serve them with three meals a day.

The cost of raising a dog is sometimes high, and the daily expenses for food, drink, beauty, and medical treatment are considerable, but Americans are willing to spend this money. Many cities hold "dog shows" every year, where dogs can walk in fashion shows. Cat and dog toys, cat and dog clothing, cat and dog food, and supplies in Wal-Mart supermarkets are all important commodities. The economic growth point caused by pets accounts for a large proportion of daily consumption. Anyway, in the United States, there is a good chance that your quality of life is not as good as your neighbor's dog.

2. Wear outer pants lower than underwear. If you ask "What is the most unacceptable aspect of American aesthetics?", Xiaobian will definitely answer without hesitation for a second-Baggy Pants! This kind of wearing pants that are much, much lower than underwear is really incomprehensible! Baggy pants are a pair of pants that first became popular in black American communities. Almost all hip-hop stars have worn such pants around the city, and Justin Bieber even likes these pants. But there are two theories about the origin of these trousers, but neither of them is good.

Origin 1: In the early 1980s, African-Americans in the United States invented these pants in order to have more space to put things in while stealing from stores.

Origin 2: Prisoners put in prison in the United States are often treated with anal sex, just like the saying,"If you can't avoid being raped, close your eyes and enjoy it." Some people are more raped and invented this kind of pants that are easy to get anal sex without taking them off. After the rise of hip-hop, black rappers introduced a trend of wearing Baggy pants, but many white people did not know the origin of these pants and followed suit. Now they have become part of American street culture.

3. Drinking ice water all year round, and Americans drink ice water all year round after giving birth to children; there are only two gears on their water dispensers: hot water is only used to make instant coffee and tea bags) and drinking ice water directly). What is warm water? Americans don't understand. After Xiaobian came to the United States, you can often see that even in the winter when the temperature is below zero, there are many people ordering iced coffee in Starbucks. What Americans don't understand most is why you China go to a restaurant and ask for a cup of hot water? Only coffee and a small amount of tea in the drink should be hot!

The strong people of the United States have no concept that "it is not advisable to drink ice water during confinement"; American girls still drink ice water during their physiological periods; even drink a large gulp of ice water immediately after giving birth to a child to quench their thirst!

Of course, there are two interpretations of this issue: First, the people of the United States are mainly red meat and are naturally hot and can resist cold things; so ice water has no health problem for them; Second, the principle of economics: Everyone think, when you go to an American restaurant, when you sit there, the first thing the waiter does when he comes up is to put a large glass of water in front of you with ice ice cream. Why? The United States is a fully commercial society, and you have to analyze the reasons from this perspective.

Think about it, how does it feel to drink a glass of ice water before eating? The ice is cold and very cool. Think about it again, what happens when a person is injured or an athlete is injured? Put on ice. So what does it feel like after applying ice? No feeling, just no feeling of pain, pain, swelling or anything. So, drink a cup of ice water before eating. When you eat later, no matter how much you eat or how full you eat, you will feel nothing. Even if this thing is made in general, you won't feel it. Over time, you will become extremely fat. Most people will know that they are full when they are full until they are seven or eight minutes old, so they stop eating. But after you drink a glass of iced water, you don't feel anything, so the boss makes money.

4. You can drink tap water, but you cannot drink tap hot water. In the United States, tap water in most states can be drunk directly. You may feel awkward at first because tap water has a special taste. But it is indeed drinkable. An organization once conducted tests and found that tap water is more hygienic than some mineral waters sold in supermarkets. And drinking tap water instead of bottled water is good for protecting the environment. But remember, never drink tap water from the hot water outlet, because the water sources on both sides are different, and the quality of tap water used for hot water is much lower than that from the cold water faucet.

Why not just improve the quality of the water from the hot water outlet?

5. Drinking Diet Coke while eating a burger. The most American food is burger with coke. Coke was invented by Americans. It started out as green and was a western medicine used to treat headaches. Later, it was found to taste good after adding sugar, so it was sold as a drink, and later became popular in the United States and even the world. Hamburger fries were also invented by Americans; McDonald's is open all over the world and into the hearts of every American. For Americans, serving a burger with a coke is as natural as having to pay off a debt or serving soy milk with fried dough sticks.

But Americans are not stupid. Gradually, they discovered that although this combination is delicious and convenient, it is not nutritious and the calories are bursting!

There are more and more fat people on the street, and smart Americans can no longer sit still, so they invented a Diet Coke), which has 99% fewer calories than ordinary colas.

So they happily like Ah Q and continued to eat hamburgers and cola; waiting for the day when they "slowly lose weight" after their calorie intake decreased. But to be honest, with the calories of burger fries there, what's the use of just drinking Diet Coke? And I already ate burger and fries anyway, so why are I still eating Diet Coke?

6. Tip the waiter. Even if what you buy is the service, tipping is a very common phenomenon in the United States. You need to tip a certain amount of money to eat from a restaurant, take a taxi, ask a hotel staff to help you carry your luggage, etc. As a recognition and compensation for the other party's labor.

In most cases, it accounts for about 15% of your consumption. Of course, you can adjust the quality of service based on the advanced level of this restaurant/hotel. But not tipping is generally impolite and can make you an unwelcome guest.

Of course, we all understand that tips are given by taxis for meals, but in many cases, what you buy is services, so why do you have to pay an additional service fee?

For example, if you pay for a haircut, it's a service charge. Why do you have to tip in addition? Although Xiao Bian doesn't understand it, he will still give it obediently!

7. Wearing short sleeves in winter is also impressed by American TV dramas. When I watched "Sex and the City", I was very surprised that Carrie could wear a mink coat over a suspender skirt... Are you cold or not? After coming to the United States, I even found that buying summer clothes is the most cost-effective because they can be worn all year round!

Americans are physically strong and dress casually. In winter, many young people still wear short-sleeved T-shirts. When cooling down, they can spend the winter by wrapping themselves in a coat and a pair of jeans.

Of course, this is mainly because there is heating indoors; but they also wear quite little outdoors!

On the streets of New York in early winter, you can often see many professional women wearing bare-legged professional skirts and thick coats outside, and high heels with open instep. The temperature difference between the upper body and the lower body is as high as 20 degrees! In addition to eating red meat to protect themselves from the cold, Xiao Bian once thought that they drank ice water every day, and UGG in summer and winter were short. Is there a problem with temperature sensing? But no, because as soon as the weather warms up slightly, short-sleeved T-shirts will immediately float all over the street.

But later Xiaobian also discovered that every American family has blankets on the sofa. In winter, they would wear blankets and watch TV on the sofa, like wrapping rice dumplings. The American people are still afraid of the cold.

8. Wear UGG in summer?

When I watched the first episode of the first season of "The Big Bang Theory", I was very puzzled: Why was the beautiful girl Penny wearing a short T and hot pants, but she was stepping on a pair of UGGs? Isn't she hot? At that time, I only thought Penny was a wonderful flower. After coming to the United States, I realized that it was a traditional custom for the people of the United States to wear UGG in summer! Isn't UGG snow boots? Finally, I couldn't help but ask people and got two answers: One: "UGG uses high-quality integrated real sheepskin wool to absorb the moisture in the boots, automatically adjusting and optimizing the wearing environment inside the boots just like human skin.

As a result, your feet can remain dry and comfortable whether it is in cold winter or hot summer."- This sentence is obviously an advertisement at first glance, but it is a scientific explanation at least! Two: The indoor air conditioner in the United States is turned on very cold in summer! I still feel cold without wearing snow boots... Eh. Okay. Comrades who can understand and dress, let's go.

9. Bathing in the morning Americans are different from China. We take a bath at night, but they take a bath in the morning. If girls in the United States have makeup on, they usually wash their faces at night and go to bed. Xiaobian feels uncomfortable no matter how hard he thinks about it, but the Americans explain that as long as he works in an air-conditioned place, he can take a bath in the morning. If he is outdoors, he also has to take a bath at night.

It is said that they choose to take a bath in the morning because they have a strong body odor and must wash the fragrance first when they go out every day.

Xiaobian won't delve into this reason, but every time he sees American girls who come to work in the morning with fluffy hair and perfect hairstyles; comparing his sleeping hair, Xiaobian will also seriously think about the rationality of taking a bath in the morning.

However, every time I think of getting up half an hour earlier to take a shower and blow my hair, I just stay at the level of thinking. The thought of going to bed dirty at night makes it impossible to stop thinking about it.

Then someone suggested: You can wash it in the morning and at night! Why do I have to give myself double trouble! Therefore, when humans think, God laughs.

Ten. Go to bed without taking off your shoes. Many American TV fans have this question: "Americans don't take off their shoes even when they go home?" Just put on your shoes and step on the sofa or even go to bed?"

There are three reasons: First, European and China people have different views on matter. Americans believe that matter serves others and we must enjoy the material world to the fullest. Moreover, the source of matter is relatively abundant. If it is dirty or broken, it should be updated if it is not used, so it doesn't matter if you step on the sofa and bed. Because things are hard-won, China people have to obey environmental restrictions. They take off their shoes when entering the door for fear of stepping on the floor and damaging it.

Second: The United States is relatively clean. Wherever there is open space, grass is planted, so there is not much dust and mud. After walking outside for a day, your shoes will not get dirty; it doesn't matter to step on them everywhere.

Third, most American homes have carpets, and shoes will be clean when they are put into the house. So, Americans spend a lot of money on cleaning carpets!
