American folk seem to be more friendly and open but the ones I have met seem to be arrogant as well. So positives & negatives really.
I treat everyone with respect when I am mentally stable (which I am mostly, in general, with a couple of meds to keep me ticking over).
One particular American I met, was critcising a waiter in a pizza restaurant? Like, the poor dude was on minimum wage and I had paid for this persons pizza and they were having a go at him as if they were a millionaire in a high class restaurant?
That would never happen with a British person. We respect our poor, oppressed, capitalist slaves.
