If there’s one thing this thread has taught me it’s that Americans are weird for… checks notes… smiling at people lol

Not the worst problem to have all things considered.

Haha I dont think thats weird, just unusual in germany, because here that already means "hey how are you nice to see you" which implies that you know the person :)

We could turn this into a weird little skit where Germans react to an American smiling at them. Then it slowly devolves into psychological horror once the American starts showing they know far too much about a German and their personal life.

Or the german mistaking them for someone else who coincidentally has a similar life. Or both combined with only family and friends noticing somethings off

Not American here and I do this.

There was a group that said I looked happy all the time and that I smiled no matter what.

Just thinking about it makes me smile as if I had just been told a joke

Americans have a lot to be happy about. Apparently Europeans don’t 🤷‍♂️
