    There are none. Every single thing said about Florida is absolutely true.

    Australian here. We aren’t drowning in murderous wildlife.

    We do have deadly creatures, but the average person will likely never encounter them.

    … we did have to ban a peppa pig episode about making friends with random spiders because aaaaa dear christ no, but apart from that really it’s fine here…

      Nice try, we all know Australia doesn’t actually exist

      Nice try, murderous creature. I’m not falling for that.

      Seriously, though, that makes sense. Lots of countries have dangerous wildlife but they’re mostly far from the big cities where people live. Plus Australia seems to have a large amount of land that’s not populated (I think? Never been there). What would be the most dangerous animal an average person in the big cities encounter? Venomous spiders?

    British. No idea how we have a reputation for politeness; borderline abusive piss-taking is standard between mates, as is referring to each other as cunts. Groups of lads, and particularly middle-aged pub goers, can often be lairy, loud, obnoxious, aggressive louts.

    It’s baffling. Though in fairness, this stereotype exists mainly in the US. Countries we can get to via EasyJet or RyanAir have probably long been disavowed of this impression.

      To be fair, when a Brit doesnt know you, they are very polite. At least from my experience

      Effectively, I witnessed a bashing just outside of Anfield. And it wasn’t even a match day

    Canada. That we ride polar bears everywhere.

    Just ridiculous - polar bears are only in the Arctic. The rest of us commute by moose.

    Dutchman here. Contrary to popular belief, we are not all stoned all the time and the country consists of more than just Amsterdam.

    We do love our cheese, though. And biking.

    I suppose you can say if it’s a stereotype, then it is partially wrong.

    Viewing a little less than half the US as gun toting bigot patriots is of course inaccurate despite what elections lead you to believe.

    It’s a much less percentage due to things like gerrymandering (to sum up it means voting districts are divided up by politicians to increase which party gets elected), lower percentage of voters, how loud the extremists are, how politicians need to appeal to extremism to increase chances of winning, things like that.

    Anything even remotely related to Florida Man is exaggerated out the wazoo.
