And every time hurricane comes they all are shocked that poorly constructed homes are ruined like a play card house and would take forever to hear from insurance company to move their arses to file the claim. My neighbors got half of their house destroyed by an oak tree during Sally and it took them 1.5 years to restore that side of the house and move back in. Big part of it was insurance company dragging their feet to proceed the claim ( they had to conduct few inspections to make sure it was indeed a hurricane that impacted that ). But God forbid to miss one payment, they will punish you immediately.

Shoes that are stored in the bedroom right next to the bed ( USA). I bought a tall shoe storage from IKEA and a lot of our guests who are Americans sometimes wondering what this thing is for. Apparently, in their homes, they just have a wired shoe rack that they keep in the foyer and bedrooms. Apparently, it’s not common for them to change into home clothes and wear slippers. Also, no towel dryers that are coming with your house/apartment by default. I’m my home country, we typically have something like that - hot water runs through the pipes and warms/dries the towels. When my American husband saw that he thought it was some kind of drunk plumbing.
