My wife is very affected by rainy/grey days. We've literally had two straight weeks of beautiful sunny pleasant days and at the first sign of clouds, my wife starts complaining. My son who lives in the NW-USA says a Lot of people have SAD and receive treatment.Meh. It's not even November and the rain and grey days piss me off already.
I've not traveled abroad. But as a U.S. American, the top complaints I hear from other U.S. Americans that do, is running into other U.S. Americans.I do not understand how difficult it is for tourists to pick a clue as to how to behave in public transport.
There’s a group of four older American (based on the accent) people here and they’re so god damn loud, can’t tolerate even a minute of silence it seems. They even went as far as talk (yell) about how nice, calm and quiet it is here. How about you help maintain the calm and quiet and shut the fuck up.![]()
Interesting. I don’t think I have met particularly many unpleasant tourists from any particular nation, but there are always outliers. So I wouldn’t really complain about Americans specifically, but this lot was bad.I've not traveled abroad.

I just found it super weird.It happens, we can get loud. I’ve been in that group of Americans on transport, where we’re just too loud, and we know it.
But it also depends on the time of day, my commute in the morning tends to be absolute silence. You will get death stares for making noise in the morning

Why would they travel abroad, pay extra to be in the quiet part of the train, then spend most of the trip being loud and oohing and aahing at how nice and quiet it is.
Eventually the staff asked them to be more quiet, and at that point the volume did go down. But they still kept on talking all the time, which kind of defeats the purpose of the quiet part. None of the other passengers said anything, though.
Maybe you have to be loud to be able to live in the US. The music was so loud in restaurants that after dinner my voice was hoarse from all the yelling I had to do to maintain a normal conversation.If you are in the quiet car (and purposefully bought a ticket there) that’s completely unacceptable.
A year or so ago, I was on a train in Milan with a group of friends. First time there, we were excited, we were loud chatting away. At some point we def realized we were screaming at each other on a train full of people going about their day. We felt bad, tried to keep it down. But generally yes, I think us Americans tend to be a bit loud. But we’re not trying to be rude usually
