Flight pet peeves: when we land and people immediately stand up and ESPECIALLY when the people from the back make their way up to the front to try and de board the plane before every one else!!!! Also, it’s annoying when the person in front of me reclines their chair. I get that some people want to sleep but it just seems inconsiderate to me, considering how little space we have already!
In London Broadway muiscals are called 'West End' musicals as all of the big theatres are in the 'West End' of London (which is actualy central London)
Honestly I was that person holding up the TSA line when I visited the US. I've travelled a lot and security is pretty much the same wherever you go - except in the US! And the rules seem to vary from state to state! I nearly got into an argument with the agent at Washington Dulles because he was so rude to me for not knowing the rules, even there was no signage or instructions to tell you to do XYZ rule which was specific to their airport. Not a personal attack on you (I love your channel!) but the thing that really irked me about the US was a massive lack of signage and lack of things being explained to you compared with most other countries. I feel like I spent a good deal of my time there confused about what was going on. Having worked with an American team I also feel like a fair amount of people from the US also expect you to already have a good understanding of American culture and how things work even if you don't live there. I mean sure we speak (sort of) the same language and watch a lot of the same TV, but the US has some really unique customs and ways of doing things. There were several times when airport or hotel staff told me off about something and when I explained I didn't know that's how it worked here since it's different in the UK/other states their only response was "well this is America" or "this is [insert State]", instead of helping me or explaining the rule. It was really frustrating and made me feel unwelcome. If TSA are not communicating their procedures clearly at the airport, you should get mad at them for being delayed, not the other passengers.
I've been having a CZcams free zone for a wee while and it was so nice to come back to see you going from strength to strength as a content creator Jacy, well done :)
I'm an American living in Arizona, born and raised here... and slow walkers are a pet peeve of mine. Especially in places like the grocery store. It's so annoying. And at least two different times, I was standing in the isle looking at the shelf trying to decide what I was going to get, and someone came and stood right in front of me as though I wasn't there... I have a few different grocery store pet peeves, but, I'm just saying, some of the pet peeves you mentioned are not just specific to traveling abroad, lol.
Grocery stores are designed for maximum irritation. Milk in the back, too damn big, no customer service, maximum profits for people who don't have to set foot in them
I’m from Milwaukee and flying out of Milwaukees airport you don’t have to take off your shoes or take out electronics and you can wear sweatshirts through TSA. When I went to Vegas and was coming back I was dazed and confused in TSA but it’s cause they’re all different lol
One of my biggest pet peeves when traveling is at the gate. If we are boarding a full flight and there aren't enough seats for everyone to be able to sit and wait, why are you putting your luggage up on a seat??? Your luggage needs a seat more than another human? Drives me nuts.
So, you asked, I’m answering. I have traveled quite a bit and I gotta say, I have Zero stories of other people and how they act abroad. I never observed anyone being careless and I’ve been to Spain, France, Italy, Austria etc. I never observed anyone being rude or complaining. Not sure what that’s about because I can do some people watching in my travels. What I do have, is funny stories about what happened to us, on our trips. 1. My phone slid into the seat on the cab ride in from the airport to Barcelona. I heard it and said, “We have to remember to get my phone. From the trunk.” Cab took off. Didn’t know the name of the cab company. The hotel figured it out and we had my phone back within like 30 minutes. Crazy. Didn’t book ahead because we didn’t know where we were going to be on what day depending on the weather. Got a line on an old bed and breakfast rooming house. When we got there, door was locked but people walked out so we got in. Then no one was anywhere. There was a phone number to call and it was 6 digits. Hmmm so we looked here and there up stairs through halls. There were couches in the halls and I said if we don’t find someone, I’m sleeping in the hall. Finally my son sees a wall with key hooks and there 😅s a key with note on it(written in German) with the number 25 on it. We assumed that was for us and we took it and went to room 25 and the key worked and we went in and slept. The next morning, the house frau was banging on the door and saying “blah blah blitzkrieg” like what are you doing here ? We tried to explain and she said, “there was no one in the room when you got here?” Haha oh, yes, we kicked them out!! Haha. We said no! She took our money and we stayed another night!!
I lived in China and another foreign teacher was upset that life wasn’t like being at home. Then why did you come to another country. Part of going to another place is experiencing life in that culture.
Don't know if you witnessed this when you flew first class, but the coach flyers that come thru and throw their carry on bag in the first & business class overheads have some nerve. When I fly coach I would never have the audacity to do that.
The thing that bothers me the Americans get such a bad reputation because of people who do all those things you mentioned but a lot of people I know who would love to go abroad and do it respectfully don't have the money.
I think its interesting that you want parents to give the kids headphones when you could easily put headphones on to not hear the games or the conversation 2 rows back. Unless you're saying you heard all this over your own headphones
I have so many pet peeves about so many things and I feel like it’s bad for me to think negatively but there are certain common sense/courtesy things that should be so obvious! If everyone followed simple social guidelines, the world would run much smoother and be much more pleasant. But I guess I just have too high of expectations 🥲

Glad to see you're still doing videos! Keep up the good work.

In Madrid people litteraly push slow tourists out or the way - two hands on your back and full force push you to the out of the way!!!
@@IlovePrimark lol, I don't blame them.

Woohoo, Milwaukee, my hometown. Did you see the “Welcome to Cleveland” sign when landing in Milwaukee?

Oh I almost forgot, we did try to leave before we found the key and the door was also locked from the inside. We could not unlock it.
Give it a goog is insane to me. 😂😂 I'm playing. That was hilarious though.

Bugs. When you get there and realize what you forgot.

Mine pet peeve is When People stand on there and chit chat: and Don’t Move.
Every flight I have been on, there’s always A Baby Crying
