Things that are not uncommon in the US: people who move their lips when they read, spell out third grade level vocabulary words and ask what they mean, say things like "I don't even know how to turn a computer on", call me asking when they're going to marry strangers they've fixated on, spray their kids' heads with Raid to kill lice, "train" six week old puppies by keeping them indoors 24/7 and then beating them for pissing/shitting on the floor, think Bud Light is AWESOME, make "instructional" youtube videos about shit they don't know, buy cd's by people like Nickelback, Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift and Rascal Flatts, wouldn't go to Paris if they won a trip all expenses paid because the other po'buckers told them "the french are rude", have giant sagging stomachs and still wear everything skintight and spandexy, put their (orange) lipstick on crooked, run over cats on purpose, fuck guys from the karaoke bar, wear t shirts with crying eagles and shit, blame everything on "the Mexicans taking our jerbs" and "welfare queens", watch Maury Povich FAITHFULLY, think Vince McMahon has it in for his wrestlers IRL, have comb-overs, and wore cowboy hats in the newspaper pics of their wedding announcements.
Among other things.
MANY other things.
