I’m Australian and lived in the US for a while. With the petrol, you basically just swipe your card and then pump and then it takes the money off your card. You can opt to go in and pay first if you know you want a certain amount though 😊
You are right.
Also cheaper to not pay with card
Also if you only have a certain amount of money you pay that and it only gives you that much
That’s ridiculous… how do you know how much you want/need when petrol prices are going off the chain all the time? Just hit the $20 symbol and stick with however much that gives you? What is wrong with people????
@@emilydeane3220 you pump the petrol in. You have control of when to stop. They only take the amount of the card that you pump in.
You swipe your card at the pump, and it does a pre-check for an amount determined by the company. Usually, it's something like $150? If your card gets approved, the pump turns on, and you can gas up. Once you hang the handle back up, it sends the actual amount you pumped to the credit company, and the precise amount you spent will be applied to the card. All of that is transparent to the customer - you just wait a few seconds, and the pump turns on. Others have also mentioned you can go into the store and say you want $20 on Pump 9, and the pump will automatically shut off at the pre-paid amount. It's not as complicated as it seems.
Not only do we not hip-hip, some of us sing the birthday song like it’s a funeral dirge. It’s the worst part of birthdays.
Being at any birthday after the age of I dunno 16, is about on par with a funeral. No one cares until someone gets drunk and does or says something drama filled🤣🤣🤣
I was thinking the same thing!! 😂
I started referring to the birthday song as a funeral dirge after hearing Trevor Noah describe it that way, LOL. I realized, “Holy shit. He’s right!” I’ve never loved the birthday song, and now I know why- it’s so low energy, it’s damn near depressing. 😂
I think we should officially change it to Stevie Wonder’s “Happy Birthday” instead!! It’s infinitely better!!
Sometimes we sing "...and many mooooore"
Yeah, in a minor key so it’s very easy to sing out of tune. Ugh.
90% of America in still stuck in the mindset form the Great Depression so it makes sense
Idk about all of America but in California, we can just use our card and it’s not charged until you reach the desired amount as you fill your tank.
Technically it is prepaid, an amount is held or soft charged on the card, then when you are done pumping, the final amount is updated. You don't see the held amount as pending, but you would see your available balance reduced. A sign on the side of the pump states how much is held, usually $75-$150, it also warns that debit card holds may take some time to release. The pump will stop at the held amount regardless if you have more credit available.
@@MrWil2209 This does depend on the bank. Yes many cards place holds. But my BofA account will let us pay only what we pump. I suppose they depend on us over drafting. But if we have $10 we can pump $10. My Discover card, I get charged a $76 hold. So I only pay inside with that one. I work at a gas station. So many people don't get this concept and act like we are stealing because the bank places holds. Some banks will charge them even when declines until it clears. I've had that happen just paying in a convenience store when we had a different bank before. The guy ran it four times. We got charged but declined four times. Bank fixed it but it took days and we were on vacation. Kinda made things a little harder with less money for our vacation.
Everywhere. You can also preset an amount if you hit enter/ok.
But what if you surpass that amount? LIke you say IDK $20 worth but when it gets to that and it charges your card just keep pumping to rip them off? Or if someone gets distracted and just accidentally add an extra $10 on what they paid for?
It will charge your card however much you pump. You put your card in first, and then it counts up how much you're spending and how many gallons you have put it on a little screen in front of you. It charges your card when you stop it for the total amount.
As an American in the Midwest, I use an electric kettle for my water but I do know (and are related to) people who microwave theirs because it’s quicker.
Yeah it’s cuz you have weak electricity
look man, my kettle is massive, i drink one cup, I cannot justify using it for just me and my one cup of tea XD
@@musicaladventure5you don't have to fully fill the kettle.
@@FrauMey a microwave has a timer unless you forget or something happens. A kettle whistles, and they're kind of fun during quiet chill time with some tea, but its a comparative inconvenience. So while it whistles, its rather easy to tune out with many other noises going on in the background.
@@Jadaeelectronic kettles plug into the wall and automatically turn off - they don’t whistle like a stove top kettle does!
The way Toni goes "Wot?" 🧐 is giving me life 😂 I need all their podcast episodes to come with video!!
For gas you swipe your credit card and get charged when the tank is full, or just whenever you decide to stop. If you only want to put $5 you can do that too.
Exactly
American here. We prepay for the gas, we call it here, because otherwise people would leave without paying. It used to be pay after years ago before my time. And only one state here, it's actually a law where they can't pump their own gas. Just looked it up as I forgot where and it's New Jersey.
I grew up with a stovetop kettle. But as an adult I've never been able to find a kettle like the one I had as a kid. But they do exist. The ones I find are expensive for some reason. Probably imported.
And Hip Hip Horary was more of a thing back when I was a kid. (I'm 39) Now it's anthems from rock bands or movies that get sung. Like Queens song as that's also played at every sporting event ever now.
Its new jersey and Oregon that you have to have a gas attendant pump your gas.
Jersey here, can confirm we don't touch the pump. It's like a waitress/waiter for gas. I wish we could pump it ourselves. I always feel obligated to tip the attendant that pumps my gas. Many don't because they're so accustomed to it. My reasoning is you tip a waitress or waiter for the convince of serving your food, right? So why aren't we tipping the attendant that pumps gas for our convinence? I understand we're not given an option, but still. It's a hotly debated topic amongst locals whenever it comes up. To tip or not to tip the gas attendants?
And yes, hip hip hooray was very common as a youngster. Not so much today. It's weird that I never really noticed it stopped.
@@Lyzi.B you tip waiters and waitresses because they get a well below minimum wage of $2.35 an hour. thats why you should always tip at restaurants. as someone who gets his gas in NJ, i know that they get paid at or above minimum wage, between 13-20 an hour.
I think they mean electric kettles... I'm also American, and I grew up with a stove top kettle too... never mugs of water in the microwave, that's insane. From my time in the UK, I was looked at sideways for not ever owning an electric kettle, and "kettle" always meant an electric one there.
@i0le0pwn correct. Oregan still has pump attendants.
Sometimes we add "and many more" after the last "happy birthday to you" but usually it's a dad joke
Ok as an American. Where I’m from (east coast) we look at ppl who microwave they’re water the same way you do 😂. Also for gas/petrol, that’s only the case when you pay cash. Which like no one does anymore
Thank you. I’m also from the East Coast too and I never understand who these Americans are. Never actually seen someone do it lol
Yeah I was so confused listening like... you can see the dollars and gallons on the machine while you pump, what are they talking about? 😂
I'm from the West coast, and I also think it's insane that people microwave their mugs of water. I grew up using a stovetop kettle (though, have had an electric one for over a decade now).
I'm from the North and that's just silly, I've never given a second thought to how someone heats up their water. I do laugh at people with bad grammar, who make fun of other people, with bad grammar! 😂
In Canada, it's the same; we pay for it beforehand by selecting "pay at the pump." You can pay after if you choose "pay in-store." The machine will prompt you to select an amount to put in. You only get charged what you use; the machine stops once the tank is full, and you get reimbursed for what you didn't use. You also have the option to select "fill up."
Sometimes you can only afford to put in $10 or $20 or when using a gas card it's just easier to pay before and have the pump stop automatically when it gets to that amount.
The best part of the Australian birthday singing is finishing up the happy birthday song with the existential party piece: "why was he born so beautiful, why was he born at all? Because he had no say in it, no say in it at all."
As an American I don’t know anyone that heats up hot water in the microwave to drink 😅
Same. I saw it once and I was horrified 😂
As an American- I do this 😅 but only when I’m lazy
I have a kettle. My bestie has a kettle. Most of my friends have kettles. -.- Most of us understood their use in college lol
Electric kettles aren't that popular, but a lot of people have ones that go on the stove.
I do 😂
American here, worked for a gas station a long time ago... Dealt with a lot of theft issues during the Katrina hurricane. So the idea to pay first is to prevent theft. People point out that you can pay with card or cash and cash is typically cheaper, the reason being is that companies that charge the gas stations a fee for using their credit services, so it's cheaper on the gas station to just take cash than to pay a fee for processing and waiting on card payments. If you know where you're looking for the gas prices, you can guess about how much you want to spend depending if you want to fill your tank, or if you only have enough for the week until your next paycheck you either go in the store and give the clerk the number of the pump you're at, and the price you're putting on it, if you don't pump the entire amount you can come back in for your change (unless you pay with your card it won't matter, you'd do it at the pump), some pumps require you to come into the store to pay prior, this is for theft reasons. The pumps are designed to calculate per gallon how much everything is as it's being pumped. you can clearly read how much you're pumping and the current cost you are pumping into your car, there are people that will pump down to the exact penny and then can pay, but many gas stations have changed away from this option.
Do more America v Australia please
I'm in Canada and because of the insane gas price increases most places you have to pay before pumping your gas. It causes me great stress everytime lol.
It's because someone got killed trying to stop a guy from stealing gas
I am Canadian, and back 15 years ago I went to USA. I was driving and driving, every gas station I went to was self serve. I could NOT believe it. In Canada, they were like 90% full serve. I had to actually learn how to do it. Fortunately there was a really nice guy, who taught me how to put gas in my car. But that was such a shocker to me. Now in Canada there is around 50% full serve. Considering how cheap the gas was there, it was worth it.... In Canada, for Birthday's we don't do the hip hip either. But there is the rare celebration, like a sport where we will do it. Personally I love it, and it would be fun to do it with Birthday's.
Mug of water in the microwave is great but like I also have a glass kettle that is fantastic 😂😂😂
We fill up by paying at the pump with a credit card or phone. You only pre-buy if you're paying cash. I'm not sure about the kettle thing, because I've had one for years, and even a basic Walmart will have at least 4 or 5 models on the shelf.
If you don’t pay first what’s stopping people from just not paying for the gas?
Morals.
CCTV footage they can send to the cops.
Here in Germany we have bith systems. The "regular" way to get petrol, during working hours, is you go to the pump, pump your desired amount of gas and then go pay.
At night, some petrol stations have machines to let you get petrol even if working hours are closed. For those, you insert your bank card, select a max amount of money they are allowed to UR up, ( ex. 80 Euro) and THEN you cna pump. Either your vehicle is full before then and you pay less than 80, or at 80 the pump stops.
As an American I find it so fascinating that non-Americans find microwaving water disgusting, it's always such a visceral reaction for y'all lol. Anyway people here who drink a lot of tea have kettles but many of us just like a cup now and then and it's easier to microwave a mug than to buy a whole different appliance that won't be used often enough to justify the purchase.
I'm American, I heat up water on the stove in any small pot. I just think microwaving water changes the taste too much. It tastes stale.
An electric kettle isn't just used for tea though. We use it for instant coffee(ground and coffee bags), hot chocolate, cup noodles or cup soups , gravy mix, etc and pretty much anything you might need some boiling water for. It comes in handy. They're actually pretty cheap to buy in Australia.
And it's really fast too, if I'm making a hot drink, it boils in 60 seconds and tatse better. Microwave water tastes different.
@@Teagirl009 microwaved water is terrible, agreed. I have two electric kettles for some reason and I just never use them. They always get hard water stains which bothers me and I'd just rather use the stove.
And they freak out when they find out that most, if not all, Americans don't have a kettle. Tea is not a thing here. A coffee pot sure, but a kettle, naaah
@@mlg1783 From watching British people cook in videos I've noticed they use their plug in kettles for filling pots of water to boil pasta faster, to add hot water to sauces or soups instead of cold water which brings the temp down, and other things. It's not just tea anymore, just convenience in general. I still prefer the stove.
I live in the US and I don't prepay for gas. You swipe a card first and then pump your gas. I own an electric kettle and I end the happy birthday song with... "And many more!!!" I'm not sure where you got your information, Ryan. :)
You don't pay an exact amount for petrol, you swipe your card first, then it charges you for the amount you dispensed (all self-
service). The only exception is the state of Oregon where self-service is not allowed. I can't remember a time when I didn't have a kettle, tea drinkers in my family. The end of the Birthday song is "and many more----"
Same in New Jersey! I always thought it was the mafia in New Jersey. But why Oregon?
Ohhhh. I want to hip hip! I’m going to start doing it at my grandsons parties! I’ll get all the kids doing it! 😂🎉
I feel attacked, personally..
I'll never be able to put a mug of water in the microwave again without hearing Toni and Ryan in my mind making shocked coughing and gagging noises.. 😢
I've boiled water separately and microwaved it.. Tbh there's zero difference in the taste, just the method. Boiling hot water is boiling hot water.. It's not like we're putting the bag in THEN microwaving it. If you actually do that, go straight to jail. I'm curious why the method of boiling water matter so much? I don't think the tea bag cares. If the water is boiling hot when you put the tea bag in, it'll steep the exact same way regardless. Ijs.
Oh wow. Breathe 🧘♀️ why be offended at wht someone else finds disgusting. You do you. These 2 dnt mean any harm to anyone.
@@danielleirwin5024 Nah it's good. I was also shocked when I found out some Americans do this and some don't even have a kettle, but she makes sense and doesn't seem that upset tbh ☺
It *is* gross, though lol. Don't ya'll have kettles? Or even like a saucepan to put on the hob?
@@Spacemongerr not upset, promise! 🤣 Just genuinely perplexed. I never once questioned microwaving a mug of water for my tea until the Internet shamed me.. Lol. Yeah, I have a pot.. It just feels like an unnecessary added step. Many, if not most, Americans don't have a kettle.. electric or otherwise. It's just not a common appliance here. They sell them, but they're not in most households here. I used to boil my water in a pot before I bought a microwave. Once I got it, I just microwaved the mug and water. Felt like I was cutting out extra steps to get to my cup of tea. We don't microwave the tea bag, just the water. However the disgust & shock at doing so is interesting. I logically don't understand it. So I'm really, genuinely, honestly, truly just curious & interested in the rational & reason behind the distaste for microwaving tea water. What's the big deal? It's there something I've missed? If so, I really need to know. Or is it really just the shock at doing things differently than tradition dictates? Can you maybe shed some light & insight into this? Thanks a bunch ahead of time. ❤️
Ps: I love these guys & will continue watching. I was never offended or upset. If it came off that way I do apologize for the confusion. I just think it's a funny cultural difference & I'm curious to figure out why it's triggering such visceral reactions like disgust from so many people. In my mind it's just hot water. 🤣🤣
@@markalexander3659 Americans don't really do tea like other countries. We mostly do coffee. Majority of homes have coffee makers which also you can do just water and use for tea as well. I have a kettle but it rarely gets used cause I only do tea at night if I'm feeling spicy. Plus coffee maker is way faster and delivers pipping hot water that can sit for 2hrs or more (some have timers) and stay right below boiling temp.
Some of us do have kettles for heating water, and cook things on the stove instead of in the microwave.
POV me drinking tea from the microwave right now, I am in college but still, ironic!!
In defense of microwaving tea water, I have a kettle that I love but it takes like 5-6 minutes to boil water and the microwave does it in a minute and a half. I have adhd, most of the time I don't have the focus to wait for kettle water. 😆
Honestly, us Americans need to start getting on the electric kettle train and ditch the stove top kettle. It’s soooo much nicer and more efficient. Takes as much time as the microwave.
Same. I have a rea kettle but I don't feel like waiting for 10 minutes when j can have hot water in 1 minute.
Here in the Netherlands you also have unmanned (is that the correct word?) gas stations. You put your card in, type the code, choose which kind of fuel you want and then you take out your card. After that you start filling it till you think it's enough.
As a Canadian child in the 90s, we added “and plenty more, on channel 4” 🤷🏻♀️
In America it was big to say "with plenty more".
Same as an American child in the 90s. Definitely remember plenty more on channel 4 😆
As an American I have a few kettles. All stove top, no electric. I even have a cast iron one that I absolutely love. Granted I’m a bit obsessed with tea and fine China; I have a collection of about 200 teacups and around 70 teapots. Microwaving water for tea seems heinous to me-I’d sooner just boil water in a pot.
It’s not a matter of knowing how much fuel you need. It’s how much cash you have. I remember as a teenager. My friends and I would pool our money together. Go inside and put the money we had to spend into the tank. That way they will turn off your pump so you don’t go over. It’s a nice feature. There’s nothing worse then only having $10 and your watching the pump. Then something distracts you and you look over and when you looked back you went over the amount you wanted. Then you have to struggle looking for the extra money or you have to use your credit card to pay for it.
Many Americans use kettles ~ both stovetop and electric. they are pretty common.
From the US I have a Kettle and have had one since I got out of my parents house. I have tea pots and tea infusers too. 😝 I'm 31 btw
Ok, on the putting water in the mug then microwaving it, usually that's for a single cup or maybe two. We don't see the point in waiting for a whole pot to boil just to have a single cup of tea/hot chocolate/coffee or whatever. But I know some people who have Kurig will run just plain water through to make a single cup
I’m an American living in America. In the U.S. Army ironically I’m a petroleum supply specialist 😂 when I was stationed in Germany they pump and then pay for it, like you guys do. I swear I’ve always through that we don’t pump and then pay because we suck and people in America would just drive off without paying 🚙💨
👋 American here, most of us put our card into the machine at the pump first, then it charges us for however much we pump (some states you aren't allowed to pump your own gas, an attendant does it). I own an electric kettle. Still heat my mug in the microwave if I'm feeling lazy 😅 "Happy birthday to you.. And many moreeee"
We don’t just guess. You just swipe your card and start filling up and the gas pump tells you both how many gallons you’ve put in and how much you’ve spent and it increases in real time. You can fill until full or unlatch the handle to stop pumping at any time when you’ve spent or filled up the amount you want.
In Canada, we choose a pre authorization amount for fuel, then we pump and whatever amount doesn’t get used from the pre authorized held funds, instantly gets released. If heard in some places of the US, they actually take the money and it can take two days to get the difference refunded. That would stress me out
Nope, not remotely true. We use our debit card and the exact amount spent, is the only amount held. Our pumps tell you how much you've spent in gallons and dollars.
@@jenniferwolford4646 It literally says pre authorization amount meaning, you’re giving permission to hold those funds. The point of pre authorizing purchases is to make sure that money is there, BEFORE YOU PUMP, cause uh, it’s preauthorized. Once you finish pumping fuel, the actual amount is charged to your account and the preauth amount is released. You can’t pump fuel, at least in western Canada, without pre authorizing it or prepaying to prevent theft, it’s the law the came into effect a couple years ago. Prepaying isn’t ideal because if you pump less then what you prepaid, the difference is given it back to you in cash. Maybe you don’t understand the context of preauthorized purchases. 🤷🏻♀️. Business accounts and large carlock stations for corporates drivers/accounts are different though, if you’re using a company card.
im from America and my family always do the hip hip hooray.
when my Grandmother lived with the family we always had an electric kettle, we still use it
I'm in Malaysia. No, we don't do the hip, hip hurray at the end of birthday song
sometimes americans at the end of a birthday song will chant "are you 1, are you 2, are you 3..." on and on till it gets to the person's age....
I'm Australian and I put water in the microwave when heating pizza. It stops it from going rock solid and stays nice
Australia is quite similar to the UK in this sense. We def hip-hip and we fill up before paying for petrol unless you pay at the pump.
As an american we do have kettles people just dont drink a lot of tea unless they're from the south
Petrol. . Lol. You swipe a debit/credit card and it charges whatever amount you put in. Here in the states you have to prepay because some people will drive off without paying.
same in Malaysia too.. pay before you fill in
Americans, most Americans, don't pay for petrol before filling up. We put the card in the machine, or tap or what ever, and it verifies the card is good, then we pump how much we need, then it charges. It doesn't actually charge the card until the pump nozzle is put back on the petrol machine thing. That's how it works.
By verifying the card is good and getting the card details into the machine before pumping, it stops people from filling up and driving off without paying.
Okay you only has to guess the cost if you don't have a card. Also people who microwave water in their cup for tea are crazy.
Late to the party, but I don't see anyone else saying it. To be clear, in American you can get change if you pay too much up front. If you pay $50 cash for gas and you fill up and it's only $42, you just go back inside and ask for the change. If you pay credit you are charged what you fill, you don't select a sum up front unless you want to.
Not all states have prepaid systems in their gas stations. Any state that has fuel attendants there is a good chance they have a post pay system. So New Jersey or Oregon. There are some gas stations in Oregon that prepay but it's very easy to fill, all you have to do is overshoot the amount you would need when the pumping and the card system will take whatever's been pumped off the card. If cash you are owed change.
We don't pre pay for gas with a card, only when you pay with cash. Theft of gas was huge here before.
American woman here.
You only have to guess if you are paying cash. Otherwise use credit card at pump.
Also not sure bout mug thing. I have done it in a pinch but not on the reg.
as an american when someone said that they can just microwave their water to make it hot i was like "wait what ?" because it never crossed my mind that that could be a possibility. I grew up in a mexican household where my mom will always boil water to make coffee, tea, etc. So it really never crossed my mind lmao.
As an American I have to say that if I was at a party as an adult (other than with family) and people wanted to sing I'd think they were completely nuts!
“they don’t do that 🙂”
“what 😃”
Electric Kettles have gotten a lot more popular in the US. Mad people got so many kitchen gadgets during quarantine.
As an american we do indeed have kettles 😂 i use mine to make tea or press coffee daily
I'm American, and every person I know has an electric kettle.
I haven't paid for "petrol" with cash in a decade or more. I use my rewards credit card, get 5% cash back and don't have to deal with going inside at all. As far as kettles go, I think my Mom used one since she drank tea, but I don't need it for coffee.
A few days ago my kettle broke and I used the microwave to heat the water for a fast instant coffee as I was in a hurry. Never again! The coffee was awful. You better bet that I found the time to buy a new kettle the same day.
Gas, you can pay ahead and undershoot or swipe and pay for exactly what you need to fill up.
I grew up in a house with a kettle, have always used one, so im with you there.
But hip-hip hooray after singing happy birthday?.... what?!
In Canada the pump just checks to see if you have funds on your card but only charges the fuel amount. I've had issues in the states because some of the pumps want your zip code. Since I do t have one you have to go in and guess. Really a pain when returning a rental car that needs to be on full. But I will say I have heated water in the microwave haha
Fine! I am buying a kettle!
In Canada you only pay before filling up after a certain hour, like midnight, so you can't gas and dash. Or pump and dash. But that's probably a booty call.
And then there's Canada, which is a mix of European traditions and American compromises.
I have always used a kettle to make tea. You can't get a good cup of Tea from a microwave. I think if you are a serious Tea drinker you use a kettle. My Mom always used a kettle too. And my children all use a kettle as well. Most American prefer coffee over tea so that may be part of it but not all Americans use the microwave to heat water. I would say my microwave is the least used item in my kitchen so much so that I will probably thrift it to someone.
We might not go hip hip but we do go aaare ya ONE aaare ya TWO aaare ya THREE and so on until the birthday victim yells STOP
After the birthday song we’ve always sang “annnnd many morrrrre!” Or “you look like a monkey. And you smell like one too!”
Also regarding the tea… We had a historical event called the Boston Tea Party where All the tea was dumped in the Harbor to protest Britain and “taxation without representation.” So tea is not a common house hold drink, at least not in the way of yours. USA essentially boycotted tea and drinks coffee.
I love tea. So don’t get me wrong, it’s a drink we drink. But do I have a kettle? No. The microwave does a faster job and doesn’t take up counter space and need to be plugged in and put away every time I get it out for just my cup of tea because no one else in the House drinks it.
That is all.
Ps I don’t drink coffee. Gross.
Sweet tea in the south is like mother's milk. Sorry all you southern adults, but you know what i mean.
I put a mug of cold water witha teabag in it in the Microwave and 3 minutes later tea!
“Hip hip hoera” is als song by happy birthday in the Netherlands. So Amerika is the strange one.
US: no kettle, don't use the microwave.. have an instahot sink dispenser.
As an American, microwaving water is not normal.
In canada we can pay at the pump before we fill our cars with the petrol we call it gas with a card and you put in more then you would need in terms of money but it will only take out what you spent not the whole amount or if you only wanna put 20 dollars in it will stop the gas for you at that point but you can also full your car with the petrol/gas then go into the store and pay for it but paying at the pump is just faster and more convenient
we only guess how much gas if we pay in cash and go into the store. if you know your tank and how much gas is at the time, you can figure it out. if you use your card you just put it in and it only charges for how much gas your tank needed
Come to Canada - we have kettles and lots of other fun stuff😊
My boyfriend and his mother always comment about these things lol
I had a water dispenser in Texas before moving to Australia and it dispensed instant cold and steaming hot water. Beats waiting for water to boil. 🥱 I'll take my instant boiling hot water and dryer anyday, thanks!
Living in cali I got a kettle at target 🤷♀️
Here in America you pay before you pump because too many dishonest people would pump n run. If you have credit/debit card you pump til its full. If you're paying cash you estimate the price per gallon and how many gallons are left in your tank. Then add the cost of how many gallons you need to put in. Pretty simple actually. Or easy way for me is. Knowing how much it costs to fill my tank from empty. Depending on how much you have in your tank, devide that price per gallon
I have a kettle. Which I love. Yes I'm American.
I am American and I use a kettle constantly. Also I feel so stupid because I read “petrol” and didn’t remember what it was 😅
I’m American, and I’ve NEVER heated up water in a microwave. If I do make tea, which is about 5x a year total, I use a kettle on a stove. Electric? Nahh no need for that shit in my house. What am I gonna do with an electric kettle? It’ll just take up precious counter space. Fuck that.
Literally never payed before i got gas lived all 29 years here
You pay at the pump, drink iced tea, and sing "and many more"
u pay for petrol ahead of getting it at costco too but u dont guess pay say $100 but the amount you actually need is $80 it only takes 80 out of your bank
Hip Hip all the way.
Petrol: Too many people drive off without paying, stations had to implement paying before pumping. We are really good at calculating how much gas we need and knowing how much money it will take to fill our tanks.
Kettles: We do use kettles. Those that put the mug in the microwave are savages who crave being burned. Water that has been heated in the microwave has a tendancy to explode unless one puts a stick or something in the mug. (Science, look it up.)
Happy Birthday: We sing, "And many more!" at the end of Happy Birthday.
Hope this helps!
A lot of us add dumb stuff to the end of the birthday song, like, "you look like a monkey and smell like one too" or "you belong in a zoo"
Where’s the full episodes on this?!!
Most people use card but yes you do pay before hand if you pay with cash and it is cheaper also it is a guessing game just give them more and get your money back when your done
I feel attacked. I microwave my water.
And based on Christine's personality, you can't buy one of those either lol
also , i only heat up water on the stove , never the microwave
I don’t know where this ‘American’s don’t have kettles’ thing came from. I’m American and I’ve never been to a house that didn’t have a kettle.
Must places you just pay at pump here in the states. So you just pay for what you pumped,. Only some places you have to pay inside, must of those are per-pay but some you can pay after, not alot though.
I think alot of people have kettles, they may never get used though. Ha
I've always had one. We're more of a coffee country, less tea.
Australia is so much alike Europe! :D We just don't have bugs like monsters
Everyone I know has a freakin kettle!! WTF? HAHAHAHa!
I’ve had one since childhood (I’m 43)
