Sniffling

In some countries, like Japan, sniffing is acceptable, while blowing your nose is frowned upon. In many western countries, this would be reversed.

Not inviting everyone

In South America, Asia, and Africa, if you’re holding a party, even the bus driver gets an invite. In Europe and North America, this would be strange.

unclothedness


In Finland, being naked in a tiny sauna with strangers is perfectly acceptable, while making conversation at the bus stop is strange. In many other places, this would be the other way around.

Asking age

In South Korea, one of the first things you would ask somebody (even a woman) is their age. This is so that you know how to formally speak with them.

Giving wine to kids

Welcome to southern Europe. Alcohol doesn’t have the same negative stigma in many countries as it does in the US. Having a beer on your lunch break is also normal, while in places like the US, it could get you in big trouble if your boss finds out and is seen as an alcoholic tendency.

Living with parents

In many non-western cultures (and southern Europe) it is normal to live with your parents for your entire life. Up until marriage they support you, and after marriage you support them.

Calling the police on your neighbors about petty issues rather than confronting them first

In Switzerland this is the norm. Too loud past 10pm? Expect a visit from the police

Leaving your baby outside in its carriage while you sip on some coffee in the cafe

Although this freaks foreigners out, apparently nobody steals babies in Denmark.

Guys holding hands

This is normal in Arabic culture and isn’t related to their sexuality. In many Western places, this only happens if people are in a romantic relationship.

Thanking the driver when getting off the bus

In Ireland, this is so ingrained that when they added a second door for people to leave through, they still only used the front door

Throwing litter on the floor

In Spanish pubs, for example, this is how they do it.

Calling your waiter with a kissing noise

In countries like Burma, this is how you do it

Taking a siesta

In southern Europe, you can expect nearly everything to close down for a few hours around noon.

Slurping

In parts of Asia, if you don’t slurp, the food wasn’t good

Geez!

Nice one tweenie

Not in Nigeria oh

Fūcking hilarious

wow

Corruption

Stealing is not corruption in Nigeria. In many other places, this would be the other way round.
