- Not quite catching someone's name, meaning you can never speak to them again.
The agonising problems...
-Not quite catching someone's name, meaning you can never speak to them again.
-Receiving an email ending in regards and wondering what you've done to cause so much anger.
-The terror of these words: and then later i'll ask everyone to stand up and present their ideas to the room.
-The impossibility of eating a jaffa cake without someone bringing up THAT debate.
-Panicking in a sandwich shop and allowing a distressingly odd combination of fillings to happen.
-Not wanting to use an emoticon yet worrying you'll come across sarcastic without one.
-Never wanting to use an exclamation mark yet worrying you'll come across as miserable without one.
-Losing faith in your delivery halfway through telling a joke, so opting to just explain what the punchline was going to be and why.
-Seeing someone you know walking just ahead of you, so stopping dead in the street until they're completely out of sight.
-Resigning yourself to an usual and arduous train route, rather than risk sharing your commute with a colleague.
-Asking to sample an ale, disliking it and ordering a whole pint so as not to further waste the barman's time.
-Feeling your life lacks excitement, so dunking your biscuit for an irresponsibly long time.
-Saying "honestly, it's fine" to warn of imminent meltdown.

A REAL British problem is having someone American tell you "why do you sound so posh"
No a real British problem is having an American tell you that Scotland isn't a real place. And that's it's the same as Narnia...
I can't relate though because I'm from Liverpool... I HATE MY ACCENT SO MUCH FFS
+DrBlaze what? Are you for real? That's ridiculous!
+Liziana MSP 100% agree
+Liziana MSP 100% agree
Real British Problems: Wanting to gouge your eyes out when Americans talk about Britain like the only country in it is England.
Ikr!
People this person deserves an award or something
England is in Britain mate
Exactly!
Obviously the two countries in England are Britain and the United Kingdom.
When your digestive biscuit is too big for your cup of tea
I was at a friends house the other day and we went out to buy some ginger biscuits for our tea. Then when we got back we realised the biscuits were too big for her cups. We literally went down to Oxfam on the opposite street to buy some mugs that were right size.
I'm not british but i relate😂
im no engineering student, but im sure its nothing a nibble can't resolve?
Super Henri lol
why not just break it in half?
I nearly had a heart attack when he had that hobnob in his tea for so long
SAME i was like "thats gonna break hhhhh"
Natasha Trimble saame
Natasha Trimble same
SAME
Lol, I leave mine in until they're dust particles and drink them.
Btw... 100% American over here
These aren't British problems, this happens to everyone..
A British problem would be everyone badly copying their accent
People who try to copy British accents piss me off. I almost slapped a girl because of this.
And when they do a really posh accent saying its british and I'm like well I suppose you could class that as an upper class west London accent it doesn't work for anywhere else
BYRON ASPINALL if you see Madonna .... ever... Slap her for me, her British accent pisses me off.
Yep most people in Britain talk like :HEY MATE PASS ME THE XBOX CONTROLLER LA"
briggs9187 do you mind if I use a bat?
The worst is when you greet someone with "Hey, how you doing?", and they reply with anything other than "Fine thanks, you?"
Barnaby Weatherall This is actually quite true.
Barnaby Weatherall "Hi how you doing" aka "honestly mate i dont care im just being polite"
Barnaby Weatherall Then just say "Hi" and you are fine :-)
Barnaby Weatherall Either that or someone asks you, "You alright?" and then walks away without giving you time to answer.... or just to me.
HannahP742
Now that's just rude.
.. oh god
*that* debate..
What debate?
The "Is it a cake or a biscuit?" debate
Are we gonna talk about the fact that John is getting married? Sherlock
It's a cake because cakes go hard when they go off. Biscuits go soft. 😂
oh every time, my favourite sociopath.
what about having literally nothing to talk about but the weather
Come on it is the first thing to turn to well as a brit I think that it is.
The reason why we talk about the weather in Britain is because we like to complain, it's always to hot or too cold!😊
My god we're awkward, I love Britain.
Ikr I'm British
+Missellief Dance me too also british and Black.
+Missellief Dance me too also british and Black.
me too!
As much as I want to try other places out, me too.
Are British people all suffering from social anxiety...?
British people do not equal London people.
Ya i know like every americain thinks every british person is a londoner its annoying
YASSS I AM FROM WALES BUT HAVE AN ENGLISH ACCENT AND WHEN I MEET FOREIGN PEOPLE THEY'RE LIKE "so you from London?"
Exactly! I'm Scottish and sound completely different. And even in London not everyone sounds like that. I've lived in Britain my whole life, and the only person I've met with that accent is this awful snobby girl who used to go to my school and who I secretly hated.
Every single time I go on holiday the conversations go like this:
Person: where are you from?
Me: England.
Person: so you're obviously from London!
Me: no, I'm from Dudley.
Person: I thought you were English?
Me: yes, I am English.
Person: but you just said you were from Dublin.
Me: no, i said Dudley.
Person: Dublin?
Me: Dudley.
Person: dublin?
Me: you know what?! Forget it!
Person: is that how you treat people in England? Do you scream at people all day?
Me: no... We treat them like dogs.
Person: ohmygod really?!
Me: I was being sarcastic! Goodbye!
Yup
So basically Brits are just awkward? Dude why wasn't I born British I'd fit right in
Ikr. I do a lot of these, and where I live they refer you to the nearest therapist if you act like this. My parents are British...I'm in the wrong country xD
most of us, not all of us :)
Domi Kat Oh trust me you would love it :) lol the best part is hearing Londoners cursing at others ( I'm not from London I'm from Manchester )
Ur lucky ur American - waaaay lest ppl gonna make fun of all the stereotypes
Nope, we're nothing like that, it's just racist Americans who think we are.
One thing you Americans need to be aware of.
Half of the time when you're referring to British people,you actually mean English people,so be careful because some people find that annoying.
To some of your surprises,England isn't the only country in Britain,there's Wales,Scotland and Northern Ireland too. So if you're saying British and mean English.
SAY ENGLISH.
Caitlin warren Ss an American I knew that, but most people here are too lazy to care and just choose to be ignorant. Sorry.
Caitlin warren Ha! Looks like Devon just answered her question.
Alright,well I'll call American's non-European and see how they like it.
if you know that there referring to english people then it shouldnt make you upset
Unless someone from Scotland or Wales wins a world championship of something.. then they're British :P
i always say BRITISH.
thanks fyi.
when you dunk your biscuit into your tea, and the biscuit breaks off :(
RIP Custard cream.
I cry for many days and many nights.
Apparently, 'Murica doesn't even have custard creams.
Wow, I'm glad to be British!
+kimzee59 Who dunks custard creams in tea, surely that would take away from the taste of the custard cream? Hobnobs or Digestives are the way to go with regards to dunking.
I know so sad :(
I'm a Brit 🎉
sameee
Satans Spawn why tho?
Katie Buss same
Same, I'm a London boy!
Why do they stereotype
You game the idea to do a 'Things all british people will understand' video! Great video, good luck
Great video! New sub!
Gave me*
Cam Kirkham hahaah nice one cham chircham
How many of these "Very British Problems" do you relate to?
I relate myself with all of them! :-)
I'm English, and I agree with all of them. But these apply to everyone..
i relate to only one
I'm American and I can relate to all of it, except the one about Jaffas. They're definitely cakes, that debate's been settled.
You didn't have that moment when your biscuit falls into your tea and you have to try fish it out again
British/English problems: people asking why you put on a 'posh' voice for fun when it's your real voice because you come from the south...
eloise murphy English problem, Scottish people yelling whenever someone say's England when referring to Britain
+eloise murphy Welsh people problems = sounding like you are a sheep farmer constantly because of your strong accent and the fact you come from the South Wales valleys. :(
Are you secretly Dan Howell?
+Ruby Roux DAN HOWELL
+eloise murphy Northern Irish problem= When siri cant understand your accent
Don't forget the queues!
Despite feeling intense anger towards a queue-jumper, British will often say nothing - staring angrily is more our style. And then there are the rules to say please and thanks: taxi drivers, bus drivers, anyone giving us a service. And the better is that we hate not to be thanked if we think we deserve it.
Dante Alighieri People thank bus drivers? I understand if it’s a coach but no one ever thanks London bus drivers😂
Cookie K I feel like that's just bad manners...
anyone remember being asked by an American "why do brits sound so posh" when you have a birmingham/blackcountry accent. for some reason Americans think all brits have a London accent and we all like Harry potter and eat fish&chips with a cup of TEA at hand. I mean I like tea as much as the next person but most of the people I know HATE tea. all my teachers would rather eat a gallon of PVA Glue than drink a cup of tea😑
Also Brit doesn't mean English person. The place is Britain
NOW Buzzfeed has ran out of ideas
leave us british alone melon
Lipzyncable I AM British...
Outrageous250
oh kk never knew!!!
***** lol
I mean crossing with chavs is a huge problems for us brits
agreed
+Solar Beam yeah! For example : this channel
i know right americans dont know what chavs are
So's Brexit...
That's so true!! 😂😂
*that debate*
We all just know
We just *know*
The real British problem,
Custard Cream or Bourbon biscuits to dunk in your tea.
Forget em both and get a digestive
@@rosexo916 or a hobnob
THAT IS JUST WRONG
@@uhbonk7585 Or a Jammie Dodger.
1. Saying sorry to objects
2. sayings sorry when somebody acidently pushes part you in school/ work/ public places
3. Saying sorry for everything
4. when one of your friends pretends to hit you and you say ow and the response is allways, "did that really hurt?!"
and then you reply, "no."
5. If you say 'and me' instead of 'and I' you will allways get correceted by someone, either that or you have to correct people for it yourself
Every single one of these is actually so relatable
About half of these occur to Canadians as well.
Sounds more like Canada TBH XD that's so me...
All of these apply to me...
I'm American............
+Nintendogs Poppy This could easily be any Brit or Canadian, which is basically a Brit anyway...eh?
Here's a British problem, someone saying "I love your accent." WHAT ACCENT? I HAVE BEEN SPEAKING THIS WAY ALL MY LIFE
Yes, because it is your accent, that is how you speak. We all have accents indicating of where we come from.
an accent is just the way you speak, technically speaking every person on earth who speaks words has an accent.
That reaction is like responding to "I like your hair" with WHAT HAIR? I'VE HAD THIS HAIR MY ENTIRE LIFE!
accent is just a way of pronouncing a word. its all good
Sueycrazy yep so true
Oddly enough, I face most of these problems, and I'm not even British
This is so stereotypical. Now if you will pardon me, I'm gonna go and eat some fish and chips while sipping some tea to blow off some steam from watching this stereotypical video about us Brits. Eh what?
My very British problem: when your American internet friends call fish and chips "fish and fries". I cringe so hard!
Or is that just me?
Himali Mendis oh god you just made me cringe.
It's actually fush n chups
Himali Mendis Why do you call it chips though? When I hear "chip" I think of something crunchy. Fries aren't crunchy. and do you guys call all fries "chips"? I find it cool and weird :) England's so fascinating
***** that's in new Zealand
Smiles chips are chunkier than fries
Woah, stop fighting people! Let's bond over tea, crumpets, English breakfasts and that very cheap kebab shop round the corner! I am British, so I now qualify for saying this. 👌
You're kind of the only person I like in the comments section right now. A "high-five" to you, my friend. 👋🏾
....I like tea
I'm British too!!! Hurray!!! 🇬🇧
I'm only going if the queens there! (I'm British to!) 👊
Pixie May1228 im brittish too!!!! Yay!!!!
Also not all brits talk all posh and propet
I always knew I was meant to be British. I was just born in Chile by a huge landmark mistake, God was drunk.
Oh my god ! you've explained this like a pro! "Seeing someone you know..." that's just so on point ! Also using and not using exclamation! Dunking the biscuit ! Forgetting the name of the person and then just never talking to because you can't remember their names and it'll be super rude to ask them or to ask just anyone. Everything is on point ! Super Like to this video !👍
I feel like the Buzzfeed videos about Britain are stereotypical most of them at least 😒
but most of the points in this video are true...for England at least
+Scarlet McCluskey nope I'm English and this is a lie
Scarlet McCluskey no....not really most of them are false and stereotypical.....
I'm English, and I agree. so none of these happen in ANY other countries?
love this channel tho
+Dani Taylor same. but do America make fun of us tho
Saying sorry when you bump into furniture... XD
i do that to XD like you're In somebody's house and you say sorry to the furniture and their like wtf
+Pizzaboy609
I do that ALL the time and when people hurt themselves and I have nothing to do with it whatsoever I say sorry
I once said sorry when I walked into a lamppost...it wasn't to anyone...just the lamppost
saying sorry when a person bumps into you!
+brandybuck1984 omg I do this so much😂 but I apologise when they bump into me but they don't say it back😕
When my biscuit brakes and it's at the bottom of my cup and when I reach the end of my tea I start drinking soggy biscuit happened many times God being posh is so hard.....
Gosh we're so awkward. I love it. 😂
British problem = Sounding like a pirate because your from Somerset.
#southwestproblems I feel you
***** Talos help me when I first saw your comment I said Summerset isles in my head....I ive been shouted at by the old fuzzy faces too much!
dragonwarrior3z huh i never noticed the similarity's in the names until now, although there is a big culture difference :)
*****
lol yea one is filled with asshole elves the other ive never heard of in tell now!
you're*
WHY ARE WE SO POLITE?!?!??! ITS NOT BRAGGING, ITS A CURSE!!!!!
I'm never polite to people on CZcams unless cats are involved XD
+Owlgirl77 true, true. Btw sorry if using all caps sounded rude or something or- aw crap.
ZoeTheEpic im American and as i was leaving a food place i held the door open for people who were entering as i was leaving and i apologized for holding the door for them 😥
I can't enjoy a good crumpet with somebody screaming "DO YOU WANT SOME TEA WITH THAT?!"
still we love are Britain x
our
When I was little, I thought that America didn't exist, I thought it was some dream world of England..
I don't know who that makes look bad?(England or America)
Angelx whats a america?
Angelx The American Dream...
Angelx This sounds racist but my brother convinced me (he also believed this as well) that all Americans were black.
Angelx It makes sense, because when we are little, America only exists on the TV, so it's easy to believe it's an imaginary place where people speak different and do mad things. Then you grow up and realise it's not imaginary ;)
I am British and do not have any of these problems. It seems to me that Buzzfeed has a problem with the UK. How many videos putting England down now ?.
Unsubbed
don't take it so seriously, it is just a fucking video.
I know, saying regards wtf ?
it's not putting down england it's just picking on a few things i've seen american problem videos canadian problem videos and several others
ADAPTED.
Hay its a joke
number 1 keep saying sorry all the time and not walking in a straight line and bumping into you very annoying
Yes us brits are not rude and like to apologise...... But we are very clumsy
No every time I dunk a digestive in me tea I always end up shouting “ME BISCUITS IN ME BREW!” 😂😂😂
Got a better one: being totally screwed because of leaving the European Union.
they'll eventually join back
Nour Makarem Hopefully!
Ikr!? I actually cried when I heard the news.
+Super Henri Are you one of those people that somehow believe that the entire elderly population of the UK is ignorant and selfish?
No they somehow think that those above the age of 55, don't deserve the vote!
I'm British and none of these apply to me or anyone I know, so how about:
1)probably the only country that hates someone else from their own country if they are from a different town (Manchester-Liverpool)
2)politically apathetic
3)Un-written rule Northerners and Southerners hate each other
4)the weather... It either floods or has a heat wave... Or both
5)Incompetent leaders
6)The Daily Mail
7)The Sun
8)complaining about your home city however if anyone from outside your city complains it's WW3
9)we hate being called European
10)get offended by American TV. Shows or other things that try and portray us as a nation-ie THIS
11)The monarchy-love it or hate it
12)Queuing-we all do it and yet secretly hate it but unlike other nations just shut up and do it
13)WE ALL HAVE A GARAGE FULL OF USLESS SHIT THAT WE DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT IS IN THERE
yup that sums up us Brits in a nutshell (now do i put an emoticon or not) XD
Btw, why do you hate being called European?? I'm curious :)
Izaya Orihara because of them who are located near to us being European.. the frog munchers, XD also its just that were not attached to Europe and thus don't like to be associated with them
Oh yes the weather one it can't just be in between can it!!!!!:)
So I'm Polish and I know the pain (the weather pain xD). Summer, spring +30-40, winter-fall 0 or -30C xD it's like never in between!
0:36 I was literally eating a Jaffa cake when you said that 😂
Wait I'm confused. Aren't these just problems for shy people/people with anxiety problems
its British culture
Oh wow okay
sunny leveson RUDE
Everyone here does realise America are just Brits that migrated elsewhere a while back right?
Shhh, you're being too logical
I'm not any part British and I'm American
German, Dutch, Native American, actually I take back what I said I'm part Irish, French
Lightning Shield a few Scandinavians came later on.
America can also be Mexican, Basically all of Europe, parts of Asia, and my friend's ancestors are from Australia. Think again.
Shut up buzzfeed your not British and these are not our problems!!!
When you bump into someone and say: “op.. sorry”
Or just constantly saying sorry🤣
I’m a Brit but I thought these were normal problems we all face 🤷🏻♀️
Only britts know the Jaffa cake debate
Can someone explain to me this debate
+Elizabeth Roy some say they are a biscuit some say they are a cake
AlmightyStarfire exuse me
Pancakes I’m half british but I️ don’t know what that is. I️ feel like a disgrace to my comminity
they are a c a k e
Actually British people dunk their digestive biscuit in a cup of tea and then it breaks
That's what I thought was going to happen bc it happens 90% of the time 😂
Then you my friend are a 'Risky Dunker' (don't take this as an insult)
yh whatever
Only unless they're unskilled.
Who dunks hobnobs? fml
I love these kind of videos. I feel like it brings us Brits together, like watching a family-made film on Christmas Day and laughing about it 😂 (over a cup of tea and digestive biscuits of course)
okay, let me just say........ WHY DOES EVERY COUNTRY DIS OUR ACCENTS! seriously its so annoying because only a few people have those accents in Britain. You wouldn't like it if we made fun of your accents, would you non-British people
I know like not every british person has a london accent like americains think
Most londoners don't have those accents
Bluestar I agree even though I'm polish
im British hiiiii i agree
Americans tend to think British accents are insanely hot and want to date a person with said accent even if they are only mildly attractive physically so it's basically the opposite of a dis here. Don't mean to contradict you just bringing up an additional perspective you may not have encountered before.
here are some actual british problems from a brit.
1. dunking your biscuit in your tea and the biscuit falls into your tea when you go to eat it.
2. complaining about the weather.
3. people constantly asking for surveys.
4. bus times are atrocious
and some of the ones in the video.
.
+BurnerGaming Backburner
weird ? I had no idea British people were like that
+BurnerGaming Backburner Sometimes I take the bus home from college, because I live on the other side of the city... It's not the bus times that are atrocious, it's the time the bus arrives... Recently, I waited nearly an HOUR at the bus stop...
+Shane Trevyllian The worst thing is when you stick your hand out for the bus but it just drives past you. You then stand there in a moment of silent awkwardness whilst the people in the bus turn and look at you smiling.
+Lel o oh god I just flashed back to every time that's happened to me
Problems in your list that apply for Australians-
The first one. (And maybe occasionally the 2nd)
most of these just seemed like regular problems to me
+Daniela Dimitrieski Probably because we're normal people.
yup
Same
I was expecting "every british expected to be 100% educated and intelligent from harvard unfortunately not all of them are"
drew whitelaw Yea so then whats the point it should be problems everyone experiences
I forgot to get biscuits for my tea so I had to go downstairs again. ugh *eats scones and watches the great British bake off while hailing the queen*
number one should be going to a foreign hotel and finding out there is no kettle
British problems as far as I (an American) can tell from my exposure to British people and their comments on CZcams and other internet media:
1. teeth
2. America envy
3. Not enough time to hate on America and Americans over the internet.
4. The letter "T" in the middle of a word. They can't pronounce them at all. For example, the word "bottom" becomes "bah-um"
5. More America envy
6. teeth again.
I do envy some Americans, mainly due to their ignorance, as the common saying goes; ignorance is bliss.
I obviously wish their was more time in the day but unfortunately there is not.
I love the teeth stereotype, it is only really true when it come to the older generations (especially famous people since the pressure to look perfect isn't as strong over the pond in the UK and even less so in the 1900's).I think America has a fair share of negative stereotypes as well as any country does, but we shall not divulge.
And I just want to say that i think the USA a wonderful country, simply beautiful and full of amazing people, obviously there has to be some exceptions.
P.S. I don't really understand number 4. (i thought those damn foreigners pronunciation of their T's is emphasized too much, like bottom = bot-tum).
I would not say I am too fond of our usa colony anyway
LOLOL.
oooh don't cry american, i thought you were supposed to be big and brave
You think I'm crying? Must be a European thing to just cry all the time so I can see how you might think I am crying. But No, I'm not crying. It actually is kind of a compliment that you hate us so much. That's why in my original post i said it was "America envy" and not "america hate". You hate us because you envy us. It's human nature to be jealous of those that have it better than you. That's why there is this ridiculous war on the wealthy. It's simple class envy. The US is the best country on the planet and you are jealous of that so you cling to whatever flaws you can find. Sure, we have fat people, we have stupid people, so do you and every other civilized country on the planet. So throw all the insults you want. But at the end of the day, I'm in this country and you are wherever you are. I'll take your envy as a compliment.
WE NEED A BRITISH BUZZFEED!!!
We don't need any kind of Buzzfeed.
Amber Worthington the thing is they wouldn't get out banter 😂
Amber Worthington yess
There is one.
Amber Worthington
That 'tired of being tired?' Ad on the bus stop at the start was the most British part
I’m British my family and I constantly debate over which way to eat a Jaffa cake
Umm not only British people go through those problem ... Everyone does
me dont XP
If I dont catch someone name I still speak with them or ask them blaming my horrible name memory for it.
And Jaffa is the best no debate what so ever needed ^^
point of the comment using a lot instead of everyone. ^^b
Well, I've never seen a store that sells Jaffa cakes, so that's 1 off the list.
In U.S.A., I mean.
I am from serbia so I grow up with them and milk. ^^
*pats you back* I am so sad you in the usa miss out on the jaffa.
You mean "shy people problems"? I'm familiar with all of these. xD
same.
Yeah
yeah I'm shy so I dunk my biscuit for too long. no. just stop
Timeturner yuuuup
Timeturner I
Us brits have none of these happen except dunking our biscuits for too long
Yep the panicking in the sandwich shop one I definitely relate to 😂😂
THIS IS SO ACCURATE I'M CRYING
+ScarletKie
accurate ? This is bizarre Why are British people liek this I dont understand ?
it is, oh my gosh 😂
Because they are awesome and I'm not even british.
+rbeck3200tb40 because we are amazing
this isnt even just for british people. everyone has probably faced one of these things. so it can be accurate for anyone
I'm not trying to take anything away from the video. I enjoyed it(though most of those don't apply to me). But the comments are a bit messed up. Let me break it down for you.
British people aren't snobs generally speaking. Because all my friends and family are nice people, most of the time. However, I'm not saying there are no snobs here, but I have never met any. Just because we like to have nice things doesn't mean we are 'snobs' thank you very much.
The last person who replied, I'm just a 12 year old girl who doesn't want to be called a snob. I only use that type of language if I'm annoyed or upset.
I feel like this is everyone who gets easily worried or shy. Anyone else?
Dunking your biscuit in for a long time is soo true. It always drips of and lies at the bottom of the mug all soggy
'13 problems weak, pathetic and unsuccessful individuals face.'
The number 1 problem? Being British!
GO AMERICA
As a brit, somewhat true but im 95% sure that most other countries do these too
Going to America and they ask where you're from and you say London even though you live on a rock of the coast of Devon 😂🇬🇧
what's so British about these problems?
It's a reference to a british comedian,
Obviously Rosie Hmm...cz these problems are just normal ones, prevalent everywhere
americans find them normal
Nothing...that was I was thinking
The biggest problem Is dipping your biscuit/cookie to long and it being stuck in the bottem of your drink :/ and went you dress for a summers day of have a BBQ it rains
Jaffa Cakes are LEGALLY cakes under EU law after McVities went to the EU court of law to prove so. The reason behind this is that in the UK, chocolate biscuits are taxed, but chocolate cake isn't. Mcvities demonstrated that as Jaffacakes go hard when stale, they are in fact cake. The Court agreed. Its therefore legally binding.
***** You're still an idiot to me :P
***** wise wise words
*****
They're not biscuits OR cakes you crazy Brits. They're cookies!
Prometheus Unchained ^
thekingofchamps2 Fuck. That.
That debate has been brought to a court of law.
The Jaffa cake is officially a cake!
4 years later and I’ve found another one
Being in public and randomly wanting to start singing: GO COMPARE, GO COMPARE!!!
Enlish people are so polite
Those of you who are saying "British people are so snobby and uptight", Which country are you talking about in particular, eh. theres four to choose from incase you havnt noticed? Look, everywhere you go, there will be atleast one snobby uptight person, it's not like they all live in "Britain". So everyone stop making stupid immature whiney statements THROUGH the internet based on silly stereotypes.
I hate to say this because buzzfeed videos are by far my favourite, but half of these problems don't happen! I mean, it's not just British people that see someone they know in the street, so they walk in the other direction. In my years of living, I have never or seen anyone walk away from someone they know out in the street because they don't want to talk to them. I'm not trying to be snobby or sound really rude, but British people tend to actually be more polite than Americans, or any other country for that fact. So, I'm just saying this for your next British video, pick problems that you know for a fact happen.
Haha very accurate, at least for the Brits I know. As a foreigner living and working in the UK (the South), most people think I'm here because life is easier than anywhere else. Hell no, standards of living are definitely higher in Scandinavia or Germany but... I'm just as socially awkward as so many Brits and I feel so at ease among them.
I definitely do the thing where I see someone at a bus stop on the other side of the road that I know or at a train station so I take a different route to not have to socialise with them. If they are about to get on a bus I need to get on,I either get a different bus or wait for the next one.

WHY ? just be friendly and talk to people its not that hard. I dont understand are all British people liek this ? WHY ?
I never said I wasn't friendly,don't judge you don't know my life.
You could just sit away from them on another seat?...xD
+rbeck3200tb40 we aren't. anyway, u dont have to talk to someone if u don't want to. what if your having a bad day?
+CcosmicC Pro So instead of not talking, you change your whole schedule to avoid that person? This is weird af lol
No. British problems are like:
having to deal with the "Go Compare" advert
Physically looking at the people on Jeremy kyle
Luis suarez.
Agreed
I second that
Italians now have to deal with El Cannibal too.
this comment is better than the video by a freaking mile!
when you dip your biscuit for to long in your tea and you get a lovely mushy treat at the end of your drink!
I ran out of tea bags today guys
blog boi I'm very sorry mate. Must be devastating
Only a few of those seem like very British problems. The rest just seem like typical first world problems. :P
Since we're the quintessential first world country, it only makes sense.
emikochan13 Are you/ Pretty sure America is.
Serj Tankian don't start it
john guy He started it.
I think it's social anxiety problems, really.
I'm British and this doesn't just happen to us plus some of these things never occur...
Liesssss
I agree totally
Maybe this is another Britain, I have never heard or seen anyone requesting a sample of an ale. All of this is just awful. And no other ethnicities?
So true . I'm sure other people see someone and then stop and stand there.
I'm british but only a few of these things happend to me
Kay so, I haven't been in some of these situations (I don't really go out much unless I have to, lol) But most of these are SO. DAMN. RELATABLE.
Honestly, how is this so accurate!?!?!
Why does everybody assume we all have that all Brits have a London accent
the biggest problem is when you walk into someone and everyone apologies, they say sorry, you say sorry, someone walking on the other side of the road says sorry
true
Yep
I often say sorry when someone walks into me and then feel stupid afterwards because it was their fault not mine.
I thought that was Canada
SudsssIsRight every polite country
"Not quite catching someone's name, meaning you can never speak to them again."
This is my life.
When someone hands you a cup of tea and just stands there expecting you to drink it when you didn't ask for it.
Why are bars the only places you get pints instead of litres?
How are any of these solely British issues?
+Lexi Vorce Apparently, I'm British now.
Jaffa cakes arent sold in most other countries, most Americans I know just walk up to people and ask their name (In England that would be rude and weird), It pretty British to see someone you know and deliberately avoid them rather than talk to them to the point of taking a bus that is 20 minutes longer just so you dont have an awkward conversation. Again most other cultures would just get the same bus and either talk to them or sit somewhere else. Tbh its really not a very difficult question to answer. maybe you should watch the video. failing that use your brain?
+Daniel White the last two comments weren't necessary lol . she was just asking a simple question that 70 other people were wondering . not everyone knows everything .
coot ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ Im simply suggesting people think before asking questions that can be answered using even a modicum of common sense
How would any use of thinking help her know that asking someone for their name is considered more rude than ignoring them all together? It seems that common sense would be knowing that someone is asking you your name so that they can call you by it, not so that they can offend you, but whatever.
I didn't get the video. All I can extrapolate from it was that, being very British must suck.
A very British thing is that you always get a Terry's chocolate orange at Christmas, honestly I want one now and it's June, makes me cry.
Omg this is literally a mirror of my everyday thought processes
