What is so annoying about Americans People.?

I am American, and I don't know if it is a geographical thing or not:\n\nMy problem is that there is very little courtesy, people show up late way to often or don't tell you when they aren't going to show, and the lack of following through, what I mean is don't tell me you are going to call me unless you are, don't say you are going to do it if you aren't\n\nThe other things would have to be how image conscientious people are here, people put way to much into name brands, trying to out do the next person, and trying to look beautiful, when there is a lot to be said for natural beauty (a little make up okay, but looking like a painters pallet ugh!). People tend to be so superficial and want to impress so much they have no idea how to keep it real! This is one of the reasons Americans are so far in debt!\n\nAlso the lack of family, we seem to be a very detached society!\n\nI am not trying to bad mouth my fellow Americans, just voicing my opinion.\n\nHave a GREAT day (and yes I mean it, it wasn't "fake")

because americans are afraid to be a part of the group... they want to look like the outsiders/dominators.... stupid if you ask me, especially when both our sothern and nothern neighboors trade and work with the metric system everyday!

They know.  They just don't care, and they get angry when you try to correct them.  They want it their way, period, and to Hell with everybody else.\n\nRudeness is endemic in this country.  If you want to know why Bush was elected president, just look at the rude, arrogant behavior all around you.

blame paris hilton and george w bush.\nLOL\nBut yes we see americans as being rude crude eating machines at times. We know the names of the states and the majority of americans have never even heard of anything but quebec and ontario. It's amazing cause there are only 10 provinces. I know it's predjudiced because alot of americans are fine people.

The world hates Americans because they know we have a system of govt where the general population of citizens controls the govt 100%. The problem is, they don't realize how dumb and lazy us Americans are, and they actually THINK we use that authority of ours and we are telling our govt to do this. BUT, what they fail to understand is we ARE dumb and lazy and we just lie back and allow our government to do what it wants to uncontrolled.

Sadly, many of the ignorant people of this world have this view. Not based on anything they actually know about America the country and the people in general of America. Their hatred comes from their hatred of our current leader. They are misguided in their reasoning and shallow people to think this way. Unfortunately there is little chance it will change as there will always be these type of people that cannot see beyond the tip of their nose. American people are not unlike people the world over, there are rich, poor, in between and good and bad people. People from other countries that bad mouth America really don't have a clue, what regular every day life is like here. Such is life! There will always be bigots no matter where one is from.

Because they want to see how many people they can annoy with it.  They feel because THEY like it the rest of us will.  Not only that they KNOW they are irritating people and like doing that.  It's an immature way to 'jab' people.

Why they hate Americans is beyond me. You ask good questions and I find it offensive that idiots like to limit others opinions.. I know yours are always on the right track. Keep asking them and ignore them. I do at least while I laugh my silly bum off... See how easy that is.. I gave you a thumbs up too.. when I happen upon you.. Take care..

Many don't like Americans but I don't think that it is fair to ask them that question.  In reality they have limited exposure and can only go by what they get in the media.  Many countries have state-controlled media and others are just very liberal and only present them with what the media bigwigs think is important.\n\nAlso, many people outside the country erroneously believe that Americans are like what they see on TV shows.  It's easy to see how that can happen but in reality 99.99% of the people are nothing like that.\n\nDon't forget that most of our media is based out of Los Angeles and New York.  Although those areas dominate the media that are absolutely not representative of the rest of the country.  That gives people from out of the country a skewed sense of our culture.\n\nAs for being rude I am really sick about hearing this.  I really don't understand why Americans are so quick to spew out this stereotype.  Rudeness is really a cultural thing.  What is rude in one culture isn't in another.  Living in Southern California we get more than our fair share of tourists.  I have seen so many European tourists that are "rude" simply because they don't understand our culture.  I'm sure that many of the things that they are doing are perfectly acceptable in theirs.  How about Asia?  Ever try riding public transit without being beaten?  Hell half the stuff they do there would land an American in jail but it is perfectly acceptable in their culture.

Americans are arrogant, rude, self-centered, self-righteous a**holes who have no respect for anyone or anything.\n\nDidn't you also love how during the Canadian National Anthem, all the Canadians were singing along, perfectly in time and in tune with each other, loud enough to drown out most of the booing, but when the American National Anthem was being sung, you couldn't hear anyone singing along because no one knows the words? Most people only use their "patriotism" as an excuse for their racist attitudes against everyone else. Americans are probably some of the least patriotic people in the world. Take the percentage of us who vote, for example. I can't wait to move away from here...

news flash folks...people thought this long before Bush was in the white house. lol Could blame Clinton too. Could blame the attitude people see among rude demanding people travelling in their countries. \nI have a good friend for years in Canada and he always used to grumble something about Americans then laugh and say "not you you're not like that". I'd always ask like what but he couldn't describe it. About 10-1/2 years ago I started working in an international hostel...and one night all of a sudden I got it. Americans come through the door demanding me me me me. Some others do too but not as much as Americans. They'll elbow in front of other guests. They are inconsiderate. Not all are like this but if that is all you see of someone it's easy to think everyone from there are like that. There were people travelling from UK or other countries that knew more about US geography than some Americans did.

Because American citizens are rude and demanding.  If European people can tell the difference between a Canadian and a American by talking to them, the there is a problem.  They don't want you to stop existing, just to shut-up.
