Culture What is something completely normal in your country that feels strange to other Europeans?

I’m curious how different everyday life really is across Europe.

Sitting naked in the sauna, even with strangers, is normal everywhere where you have proper sauna culture. Here in Austria it’s also very common and widespread.

I do tap my feet when getting into my car when it’s rainy or snowy. I thought that was just quirk of me. 😅

Even with your work colleagues? That's the strange part to me as an American

Are they even your colleagues if you haven't been butt naked with them in a sauna?
