Stories about Americans from one of the European airports: Woman (reading a water bottle label for good few minutes): „Excuse me, what’s the fat content of this?” Americans standing in a queue staring to block the corridor were asked by the airport employee what are they queuing for as there was clearly nothing to queue there for: „We don’t know, others started to q, so we thought that’s the right one”. I have met some lovely, great Americans. But you sometimes get the stereotypical ones. ;)

Heard a few days ago at Manchester Airport U.K. American couple talking to security staff: Wife: We are transiting and our final destination is Kiev. Guard looks very surprised. Husband looking at notes : No it’s Reykjavik. They genuinely did not seem to know where was what. Iceland 🇮🇸/ Ukraine 🇺🇦 it’s all the same I suppose. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

So funny

Standing in the security line at Hong Kong international. Loud American in front of me telling them he didn’t need to take his laptop out of his bag because he had TSA precheck.

I went down to the gate in Boston to check in a not too heavily booked flight. When I got near the gate, I noticed there was an unusually long line for an hour before flight time. The gentleman standing at the side of the gate, with the line behind him looked up from his book and said: "I apologize but my back hurt sitting down so I came over here to stand up and read my book and all of a sudden there was a long line behind me."

Overheard in queue for a cruise excursion, a 80ish year old couple: Her “Do you have the tickets?” Him “No I thought you did!” Her “Well, just go back to the stateroom and get them.” He looks at her and says, “Not TODAY DORIS. NOT TODAY!” This has become our family mantra, whipped out whenever one of us is exhausted and not even going to consider doing whatever it is someone else wants to do. We say it so often we heard some friends of ours say “Not TODAY DORIS, NOT TODAY!”

I have some crazy stories out of MSO. My favorite being the PSO office loosing his nice past security at 3am

Munich Airport, queue at the gate for a flight to Houston, week of the total eclipse last year. US family next to me (I saw the passports they were holding), a group of Astronomy enthusiasts, all wearing patches of their association from East Europe, near us. The American woman is not happy: "Oh no, let's hope they're not seated next to us. Everyone knows astronomers don't shower and always stink. I don't want to smell them for all our flight". Wtf ma'am?

Travelling back to the UK from Boston, when we overheard 2 ladies chatting about their Europe trip. One asked the other "do you think we'll see fish when we're on the Eurostar?" Her friend replied "for sure" Me & my husband were weak 🤣🤣
