I’m always forced to continually shush my American family members when they visit.

Why are you yelling, I’m right here and my hearing is fine.

As an American living in Germany, my wife and I switch to German whenever we figure out someone is American.

They always glom on to us when they hear our accent, and they are always the worst people. I now avoid americas at all costs.

The only thing I miss from COVID was Americans not being able to get across the pond.
