    How about things from your own culture you don't understand...

    Toilet paper vs. bidet

    Over the years, you waste so much paper using only toilet paper and it's such an imperfect method to begin with.

    I was in the city and got pulled over for going 10 over the speed limit. Fair enough. Out in the country in the middle of nowhere doing about 80MPH. Cop pulls up. Says “Mines faster” then speeds off.. Classic.

    Indian films.

    What is up with the constant grinning, song and dance in the most unappropriate scenes, and random English sentences thrown in here and there?

    Get a grip on yourselves!!!

    Surf and turf, why would you combine seafood with meat?

    Gastronomical sacrilege.

    I'm glad I don't watch them, then. It must be a Bollywood thing I guess. Maybe one of my favourite usernames, @CrazyIndianWriter could have helped us out here, were he still active.

    Swedes are crazy when it comes to food. So are Africans, I will never understand their taste either.

    I once had the displeasure of experiencing the smell of Surströmming and it does have a terrible odour.

    Nevertheless, Americans commenting on the cuisine of another country? I still don't understand why one would put pineapple on a pizza. Che schifezza!
