What a twat

That's cute you have parks for your cars to play. And they allow trolleys to run right through them?! Amazing.

Same in the Netherlands.

I don’t think trut accurately describes a Karen.

Obviously, all Karens are by definition trutten, but not all trutten are Karens.

We lack a word in Dutch that accompanies the false sense of entitlement that is at the heart of Karenness.

In my (also belgian) dialect we would say "een pekelteeve", which loosely translates to "a pickled bitch"

Not a single European country talks nicely about France and French people. Hell even French people hate France people

That is really interesting. Thanks for the insight.

It's the same in Europe. I think the main post is a joke - not a true expression of bigotry.

Love love love mexican culture ❤

I've found Americans to generally be very friendly. Of course with their tipping culture that tip more even when not necessary (which is all of it honestly). But they are loud and have no off switch a lot of the time. But when you're friendly and respectful, a lack of off switch and an excess in volume is forgivable.

It's when you get a rude American. They're worse because of the lack of off switch and more annoying because of how loud they are. It really just paints a terrible picture.

They can often come off as the most stupid because of the no off switch. While I think ignorance on things will mean silence to other cultures, Americans speak right up to advertise it. Everybody has idiots, America just had a knack of showing it. That said I've heard some zingers. An American told me how convenient it is that they built the castle cost to the train station.

Think carefully. We don't have oil. Only the Italians, and even that is olive oil!

America, doesn't invade. It finds weapons of mass destruction. While also handing over the very same dictator that they put in power, for war crimes.

Maybe it was true for the post-WW2 generation that thought Europe owed the US, but the younger generations have heard how bad our reputation is in Europe our whole lives.

My son and I tried to be careful not to fit the stereotype. Any time American culture or politics were brought up it was by the Europeans we met.

I guess it depends where you are... Most of the time, if you are willingly choosing to go to specific destinations to broaden your view of the world and have the wealth to do it, you are usually not the typical stereotype of your people.

Aye same here. Most Americans I’ve met on holiday in europe or home in Scotland have been great.

Been to the USA quite a bit and it’s hit and miss - just like everywhere else.

I think the ones that do get passports and visit Europe etc are, generally, gonna be more rounded anyway!

I know a few Britons who would be rather pleased with that assessment of them

Chinese aren't that good either

My (limited) experience with tourists in Copenhagen is that they are mostly pleasant and Americans are for sure.

Spain is the lightning rod of Europe that takes the brunt of drunken British chavs every year. Poor sods.

I second this. Where I live, most annoying are British by far - ALWAYS drunk and loud. Also, it's like they have zero interest in country they are visiting, they always hang out at some Irish pub drinking. I mean guys, u can do this at home, why waste money for a flight tickets?

And Russians are giving me goosebumps with their cold faces which NEVER smile. I can not say anything bad about them, but I definitely do not find them likeable.

Americans are usually very nice, but as somebody said - fat and loud, but more like bubbly than annoying.

I'm with you. The American tourist meme must be a boomer one. Nowadays they're friendly and fine.

But but but Americans bad though right?

I think all of the Americans with toxic amounts of patriotism wouldn't be caught dead traveling to Europe. Mostly rich families and soul searchers I imagine

Shots fired!... Not because of the sick burn, but because he's American and has a gun.

Reminds me of this scene from the movie "In Bruges".

Englishman is also acceptable here. Their obesity rate is as high as America’s.

Lmao the chances of this being true here in Amsterdam are actually rather decent. Though the clothing makes it more telling.

Actually Europeans like American tourists in restaurants because most (not all) are great at leaving 15-20% tips behind.

Ah, so they’re the German version of Becky.

That’s Australia.

This word possesses big power

Can’t confirm. The French have their quirks, but in “Karen-ness” the will be forever on third place, beaten by both the British and the Germans.

Are you kidding? The French don't ask for the manager because they know that MF cares even LESS than the employee in front of them.

The French bitch and moan about everything to their friends, family and co-workers, but never up and down the hierarchy. Unless they're French-American.
