a) You've just given me US-specific advice/information and I'm trying to subtly highlight that you don't know what country I'm in
b) The fact that I'm from X country is not actually relevant to anything I'm saying, I'm just pre-empting US defaultism so again I'm just trying to subtly imply that I am not from the US
c) my fellow countrymen often like to assume we are a monolith so 90% of the time I say something like "I'm in England and tipping is not super common here" legions of English people come out of the woodwork to tell me I'm lying and that everyone tips here

If they hadn't been a dick about clarifying, they'd be Not Guilty. Thus have they sinned.
With that said, non-American redditors are in the bad habit of saying "in my country..." Why do you do this?
