How is skipping a queue a "Petty thing"? It's just cheating everyone who was there before you, the arrogance is ridiculous! You're just literally stating "I am more important than any of you" to everyone else.
Well, that's your cultural blinkers on - can't see any other point and won't see. In some places to get ahead of other people is admired and not fighting for the best for yourself is looked on as a disgusting weakness. If you were in such a place you'd find it very very difficult not to follow the norm because nobody else would understand your behavior.
If other people don't expect queuing then there's no serious problem. Arseholes are people who violate what everyone expects i.e. when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Lol, so the asshole who created this video is happily going round the U.S. skipping queues and pushing past people to get to the front of the line thinking it's all A ok.
@@kmt_32x Unless you live in some super crowded country! I've read many travel stories (true stories) and watched a lot of videos. In some countries getting close and pushing is how they roll.
Actually you are wrong @Lollie Pop the Romans had the first transport not the English and they invented roads. They built roads spanning Europe and thus would have needed to establish certain rules to get around. Archaeological evidence suggests it was common for the Romans to drive on the left side of the road. So they actually drive on the right side of the road we don't :)
Also assumes that the whole of England (I guess that's what they mean by British, or maybe they just mean the posh, royal accent?) has the same accent. (Or the whole of Scorrrtland for that matter).
what are you talking about the UK is England Wales Scotland and Northern Ireland ....."Britain seperate from scotland " ah NO, Scotland is in Britain you twit, Britain is a shorthand term for the above (the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland")
Americans are always rude self absorbed twats. Trust me. Went there and somebody in their stupid American truck slammed into my Aunty who moved there from whales. She had just bought a new Audi SQ7 or whatever it was and he didn’t care if we were hurt just said first up after our car flipped into the ditch and I quote “ oh that was the your fault. “ and I was like “ what did you just say?” There was a 8 year old kid in the back seat mind you, shows how much they care about anybody else.
Don't like how they emphasised "the WRONG side" on the road driving part. Would have been better if they said "right" side which is witty and more correct. Also the left side is the logical side to drive a car.
@@wondertech2496 literally is, more people are right handed and right sighted, less accidents occur on the left and changing gears is done by the less dominant hand (typically) keeping your main hand on the wheel.
Hardly any of this is true. The escalator thing I’ve only seen in London where you have to stand on a certain side, most other places in the UK that isn’t a thing.

You're advising them not to rent a car because the UK drives on the left? Is like.......driving on the other side of the road too complex a mental challenge?
Nah people dont do that in America lol (well in some cases) here its usually called "cutting in line" some people will try to be slick if you're not paying attention though an sneak in front of you. Or you'll have some asshole who thinks hes important and try to cut the whole damn line or the guy who acts like a stranger is his friend just to get way ahead in line 😂 many scenarios
@@somerandomguy3807 just so you Americans are aware we DO cut lines in Britain.

We cut lines. Yr 9s 10 11 are wankers and DONT ATTEND AN ENGLISH SCHOOL WITH LINES FOR FOOD and keep doing what ever weird stuff you lot do when you come here. Unless its touch the guards...
One of the most of important rule is to never stop to a person wearing a tracksuit asking for the time or “what kind of phone is that?” Youll get robbed.
As a British citizen I can assure you that most of that was kinda wrong! Don't talk about Brexit. Not because of offending anyone but rather to avoid a long rant about them being either a Remainer or a Brexiteer. Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales are not separate countries. Rather they are nations as they do not have a fully devolved government. Finally its you who drive on the wrong side of the road.
I’m British. I don’t get why everyone is so offended. He probs went to England and learnt bout these and wants to inform his fellow Americans so they don’t make the same mistake geeez
Other ways to respond to "how are you?" Include. "Good thanks" "ye" "hanging in there" a strange laugh (only if you know the person who has asked) or even "been better"

Don't call it driving on the "wrong side," of the road. No one will get angry but obviously, we do not consider it to be "wrong." The Royal Guards may seem to be a part of tourism because they are so famous and how they dress, but they are actual armed soldiers on duty protecting important people and building and also you. If there was a terrorist attack, for example, you would see that these are highly trained soldiers who would shoot dead whoever was causing the problem. It's obviously not safe to let you near their guns in case you try and take it off them.
Good point, royal guards are just doing their jobs to make a living, if someone distracts them and there was an attack, a person could lose their life because that guard couldn't help out

Number 3 isn't an unwritten rule, it literally says it on a sign in your own video 'stand on the right'....and it's mainly London that it applies to, on the tube.
If you really want to know what the UK is like don't go to London. London is like a whole other country all by itself. You will pretty much find the rest of the world in London and as such it has a whole different way of life about it compared to the rest of the UK. I'm not suggesting it's a bad place, its just has a different way of living to the rest of us.
Wrong. London is just like any city it’s got its own quirks and culture, would you say don’t go to New York cause then you won’t be getting an American experience? Bugger off. If you visit London sure you won’t have experienced Britain but you’ll have experienced London which is a hell of a lot of fun if you don’t just be an ugly tourist and march about the place practically shouting about where you’ve been and where your going and how different it all is.
yes go to london if you want to meet all other nationalities, get in a taxi driven by a syrian, buy your food from an indian, get on a bus full of europeans driven by an arab to get to dinner at the turkish resturant. afterwards enjoy getting stabbed by a somalian then be operated on by a bangladeshi. dont expect the nurses to speak english either. tourists should not go to any major city if they want to meet english people and see 'england'. go to cornwall or yorkshire instead. beautiful places in the summer.
Things to note if you ever visit the uk: - Never go into M&S or Waitrose unless you are middle class or above because everyone there will know you think it’s just a normal shop and stare at you like you just strangled a dog - Never confuse countries in the Uk because we will probably attack you and steal your new watch - If you say we drink so much tea I swear I will throw your coffee away - If you aren’t patient with things here and are rude, all the people around you will call you a stupid gint - If you say driving on the left side of the road is the ‘wrong’ way we will run you over with a bus - If you don’t say hello or good morning to the people you meet eyes with they will drag you through a hedge - Don’t mention Princess Diana in a disrespectful way or the entire world will mob you - If you say think we are posh you are wrong, if you met a real person from the UK they would probably rob you then say sorry because we say it too much - Don’t diss our weather, everyone says they hate it but they actually really love it - Don’t read things on Wikipedia about the UK it’s just a bunch of rubbish Hope this scared you and gave you nightmares about our country ;>
I think the number one thing to know is that the UK has way more to offer than just London. Most people I know can't stand London anyway, way too busy, way too expensive. Other than that, a little common sense will be all you need for a trip here :)
1. There isn’t such thing as a British accent, there are different countries together as the United Kingdom. Everybody from different places a lot of the time have complete different accents example- Scottish accents are nothing like Geordie accents and Geordie accents are nothing like “posher” accents. 2. If you are saying rules about visiting the uk, maybe actually get a british person to tell people that. It’s just know it all Americans that think they rule the world
TommyHilarius the first competitive football league was invented in England, but not the sport itself..it was invented in Italy (Although Italians still call it football so yes it’s FOOTBALL)
@@actuallyash2438 No Italy created a game that inspired Football. Italy definitely helped in the creation but didn't invent it. The first official rules were in England 1863 and that's the football we all play
As far as I'm aware the escalator thing only counts on the London underground where it is so busy that they put up signs asking people to keep to one side. ,
It's understandable to get 'England' 'The United Kingdom' 'The British Isles' mixed up. Plenty of people here do it. However, if you even attempt THINKING about putting the milk in before the tea, you risk being put in the Tower of London and having your head cut off
Absolutely never. I am a Brit (English) and was on a training course in Beijing, my non-British colleague could not understand my look of absolute disgust when he put the milk in first. He tried to convince me it was 'milky tea'. I do hope they never find his body lol
Tea must be brewed before milk is added. If you are using a teapot, then milk goes into the cup before the tea. If you are not using a teapot then milk goes in last.
Same with me, I'm also from England and I didn't know this fact unless it's bullshit! I do find rushing in the escalator quite dangerous as you might end up falling down!
The accent isnt like stereotypes is it? Lots of people think that but like go to Newcastle there no manners there also its not like you can just skip a queue in america is it?
You correctly differentiated between the countries of the UK. However, you incorrectly differentiated between a British and a Scottish accent given that Scotland is actually a part of the UK. Plus, there is no British accent as regional accents vary widely. Even in Scotland there are different accents.
Escalator- no there isn’t. The only place this rule applies in on the tube in London and there are signs telling you. Everywhere else it’s fine to stand wherever the hell you like.
You can tell the person that made this has never been to the UK
Aint that the truth, lol

The sign is intended to insure people don’t go on the wrong escalator and get in the way of the hustle-bustle of people moving opposite

We don't mind if you tell us about your nasal allergies when we ask "how are you?" TBH it's probably an easier way to start a conversation if you actually tell us about your day when we ask how are you. Don't be afraid to say something other than "Fine"

*I went to the UK a year ago, and I still remember the lady next to me saying I shouldn’t put the milk in first to my tea (which I was doing oops. Then she showed me how to make it properly:)*
When I make tea I put the tea bag in then sugar let it brew a little bit like 2 mins and then pour the milk in stir again for a little bit and hey presto it's nice strong and tasty

Wait wtf do Americans skip queues doesn't that defeat the purpose of queues?
they all want there to be a queue, just that they all want to be the first one in it
No. Well the ones that aren't recently from a foreign country respect queues. It is usually 2nd or 3rd generation people that respect queues
Yeah what's with that
I know an Englishman who skips queues, his name is Mr bean.
i was thinking that too!
The escalator one is generally just for train stations and the underground
And airport, department stores as well as some hotels, so not just for the tube or train stations.

In British lived here my whole life and never heard of the escalator one and half of this are ever wrong or have never exist 😂
The escalator is correct but this man has clearly never been here xD

You're advising them not to rent a car because the UK drives on the left? Is like.......driving on the other side of the road too complex a mental challenge?

We cut lines. Yr 9s 10 11 are wankers and DONT ATTEND AN ENGLISH SCHOOL WITH LINES FOR FOOD and keep doing what ever weird stuff you lot do when you come here. Unless its touch the guards...
its not an 'unspoken' rule about escalators, its literally signed on the escalators themselves, you can see it in the video
One of the most of important rule is to never stop to a person wearing a tracksuit asking for the time or “what kind of phone is that?” Youll get robbed.
Good one to remember
As a British citizen I can assure you that most of that was kinda wrong! Don't talk about Brexit. Not because of offending anyone but rather to avoid a long rant about them being either a Remainer or a Brexiteer. Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales are not separate countries. Rather they are nations as they do not have a fully devolved government. Finally its you who drive on the wrong side of the road.

As a Brit, I'm always amazed at the liberties people take with the Queen's Guard. They are real soldiers and not just there for show!

@TH3 _eXoDuS_ the Welsh are trying to be relevant again lmao
Paula, if you mean "we're" instead of "were", the no, you're not, you don't even know the language basics.
TH3 _eXoDuS_ glad you took the time to get ur knob out your sheep to comment that
Don't call it driving on the "wrong side," of the road. No one will get angry but obviously, we do not consider it to be "wrong."
The Royal Guards may seem to be a part of tourism because they are so famous and how they dress, but they are actual armed soldiers on duty protecting important people and building and also you. If there was a terrorist attack, for example, you would see that these are highly trained soldiers who would shoot dead whoever was causing the problem. It's obviously not safe to let you near their guns in case you try and take it off them.
Good point, royal guards are just doing their jobs to make a living, if someone distracts them and there was an attack, a person could lose their life because that guard couldn't help out
The Brigade of Guards is only on ceremonial duties for half the year. For the remainder they are on the same active service as any other regiments.

There isn’t a “British Accent” Britain has hundreds of accents
Britain is the only nation where your accent determines your class status. Sad but true.
Honestly, I’m just trying to figure out how a sign saying stand to the right equates to an ‘unspoken rule’
Number 3 isn't an unwritten rule, it literally says it on a sign in your own video 'stand on the right'....and it's mainly London that it applies to, on the tube.
Ikr lmao
Hmm my country has this rule too but unwritten?? Like a lot of people do that
Mmh
Yeah I’ve been to most places in England apart from London and I’ve never seen this happen haha
Yeah tbh that really doesn't matter anywhere else other than bug cities
If you really want to know what the UK is like don't go to London. London is like a whole other country all by itself. You will pretty much find the rest of the world in London and as such it has a whole different way of life about it compared to the rest of the UK. I'm not suggesting it's a bad place, its just has a different way of living to the rest of us.
Or for balance, do. Cos it's great! But do also visit the smaller places if you can.
Wrong. London is just like any city it’s got its own quirks and culture, would you say don’t go to New York cause then you won’t be getting an American experience? Bugger off. If you visit London sure you won’t have experienced Britain but you’ll have experienced London which is a hell of a lot of fun if you don’t just be an ugly tourist and march about the place practically shouting about where you’ve been and where your going and how different it all is.
I agree on both
London is a multicultural shit hole, and has nothing to do with England, English culture or the English people. London is England's lost territory.
yes go to london if you want to meet all other nationalities, get in a taxi driven by a syrian, buy your food from an indian, get on a bus full of europeans driven by an arab to get to dinner at the turkish resturant. afterwards enjoy getting stabbed by a somalian then be operated on by a bangladeshi. dont expect the nurses to speak english either. tourists should not go to any major city if they want to meet english people and see 'england'. go to cornwall or yorkshire instead. beautiful places in the summer.
Things to note if you ever visit the uk:
- Never go into M&S or Waitrose unless you are middle class or above because everyone there will know you think it’s just a normal shop and stare at you like you just strangled a dog
- Never confuse countries in the Uk because we will probably attack you and steal your new watch
- If you say we drink so much tea I swear I will throw your coffee away
- If you aren’t patient with things here and are rude, all the people around you will call you a stupid gint
- If you say driving on the left side of the road is the ‘wrong’ way we will run you over with a bus
- If you don’t say hello or good morning to the people you meet eyes with they will drag you through a hedge
- Don’t mention Princess Diana in a disrespectful way or the entire world will mob you
- If you say think we are posh you are wrong, if you met a real person from the UK they would probably rob you then say sorry because we say it too much
- Don’t diss our weather, everyone says they hate it but they actually really love it
- Don’t read things on Wikipedia about the UK it’s just a bunch of rubbish
Hope this scared you and gave you nightmares about our country ;>
why do half these clips contain a Jim Carrey character?
I think the number one thing to know is that the UK has way more to offer than just London. Most people I know can't stand London anyway, way too busy, way too expensive. Other than that, a little common sense will be all you need for a trip here :)
Yeah
1. There isn’t such thing as a British accent, there are different countries together as the United Kingdom. Everybody from different places a lot of the time have complete different accents example- Scottish accents are nothing like Geordie accents and Geordie accents are nothing like “posher” accents.
2. If you are saying rules about visiting the uk, maybe actually get a british person to tell people that. It’s just know it all Americans that think they rule the world
You know, there are 43 different accents in Britain?
I live in the West Midlands by the Black Country and everyone has a strong “brummy” accent. So much different to a London accent.
Jack Hurrell - who counted them? and missed out the scores of others?
I agree i sometimes have a great despise to americans because they think that we all are posh and drink tea 24/7 and act like the queen

Number 8 should be English or Scottish accent not British or Scottish. There is no such thing as a British accent.
Englisc 0449 really? then the enternet lied to me all my life :O
There are regional accents in every country in the UK, just like in the US. Just ask the "man from Strabane" ;-)
Exactly, there's a wide variation of accents in England alone, someone from Liverpool will have a whole different accent than someone from London
Crystal Kitty yeah long story short, u can tell if someone is from England by their accent, no matter what part. We don’t care about all that.
and what if that person is not from UK at all but speaks 100% like somebody from London? I know somebody so I'm not lyinh
I hate it when I say “How are you?” and someone starts telling me about their gout. 🙄
I live in Scotland and I didn’t know the escalator
As far as I'm aware the escalator thing only counts on the London underground where it is so busy that they put up signs asking people to keep to one side. ,
DO NOT TOUCH QUEEN'S GUARD
It's understandable to get 'England' 'The United Kingdom' 'The British Isles' mixed up. Plenty of people here do it.
However, if you even attempt THINKING about putting the milk in before the tea, you risk being put in the Tower of London and having your head cut off
Is it OK to do that if you warm the pot first? 😁
I think if plenty of people in England get England mixed up with "The United Kingdom" it says a lot about how they see their partners in that union.
Not me..... Fuck Scotland and Wales....... Not ulster
Absolutely never. I am a Brit (English) and was on a training course in Beijing, my non-British colleague could not understand my look of absolute disgust when he put the milk in first. He tried to convince me it was 'milky tea'. I do hope they never find his body lol
Tea must be brewed before milk is added. If you are using a teapot, then milk goes into the cup before the tea. If you are not using a teapot then milk goes in last.
Fact:IN THE UK WE *DON'T* CARE ABOUT ESCALATOR POSITIONS
erm, obviously you don't live in LDN
I'm from England and when I first went to London I had no clue about having to stand on the right on a escalator! Nearly ended up been pushed down!

Same with me, I'm also from England and I didn't know this fact unless it's bullshit!

I don't know about that.... I live in the UK and Id loveeee to go to somewhere like Florida or Australia someday
You correctly differentiated between the countries of the UK. However, you incorrectly differentiated between a British and a Scottish accent given that Scotland is actually a part of the UK. Plus, there is no British accent as regional accents vary widely. Even in Scotland there are different accents.
Your right in the uk there are 3 million accents
Must be at least three accents in Dorset
Escalator- no there isn’t.
The only place this rule applies in on the tube in London and there are signs telling you.
Everywhere else it’s fine to stand wherever the hell you like.
British: I don’t like tea.
Americans: No, no, no that’s illegal!
Yeah... some of us don’t like tea... deal with it.
