See, if you were having problems with how your coworkers (or neighbors, etc.) act in some countries, you could just go out drinking with some of them, bitch a bit about whatever's going on, and they might helpfully spread the word! Like Japan, for instance. XD In America, we'd just agree with your bitching, not even realizing you meant all of us instead of just the worst of us. ... America, fuck yeah?

Sounds like you need a Brit in Strange Land support group. (At last those of you who don't hang out on dubious online memes with ... more Americans, yeah? <3) And by support group, I totally mean drinking buddies with whom you can blow off some steam and complain, without anyone defending their revolting beer or demanding you "kwitcherbitchin" or whatever.
