There are so many jokes about British people and how all we love is tea and talking about the weather. While that may be true, we also have a lot of strange habits. Let\u2019s see if you can relate to any of these things!<\/p>\n
Just gone through a break-up? Tea. Just had a funeral? Tea. Just got offered a job? Tea. Whatever situation it is, sad or happy, tea always solves everything. When you\u2019ve had a bad day and your friend invites you round for a cuppa, you instantly feel comforted. Tea solves pretty much everything for a Brit.<\/p>\n
If it\u2019s one thing us Brits hate doing, it\u2019s talking about our feelings. We will talk about anything else, even the weather if we have to. Any chance to bring up how it\u2019s been \u201ca nice weekend\u201d or it\u2019s \u201ca bit chilly out\u201d and we\u2019re ready to talk for hours.\u00a0 Brits have a habit of talking about the weather when there\u2019s an awkward conversation that\u2019s arisen. Even when there\u2019s no tension, we still love to fill in the time by talking about it and take an actual interest in how well your flowers have grown since the weather \u201ctook a turn.\u201d<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re a tourist and you\u2019ve ever been on the tube, then you\u2019ll know us Brits won\u2019t talk to each other. If someone talks to us on the tube, we will instantly think you\u2019re a creep or bomber. We are also hyper aware of backpacks and if someone looks dodgy we will stare at them until they leave into the next station. If you\u2019re trying to ask for directions, simply don\u2019t. Ask a guard or someone when you\u2019re off the tube. Us Brits also hate it when the tube stops and we\u2019re so paranoid that we look around to see who\u2019s caused the tube to stop. We all hold our breath until the guard speaks over the intercom and tells us we\u2019re just stuck behind another tube.<\/p>\n
Us Brits hate a queue \u2013 who doesn\u2019t? But when it comes to actually queuing, we are like ninjas. If there isn\u2019t a clear queuing pathway, we will make them. We all know how to instinctively queue and hate it when someone messes up the rhythm.<\/p>\n
As Brits, when something bothers us, we rarely talk about it but will gladly tutt at you. If you do something wrong, we\u2019ll tut all day long until you get the message. We hate it because our grandparent\u2019s tutted at each other and then our parents, and now, as the younger generation, we have inherited it! Just remember to never piss us off and you\u2019ll be golden!<\/p>\n
When on escalators, especially in London, we are told to stand on the right, which we do so that others can walk down on the left. But occasionally there\u2019ll be someone who stands bang in the middle or side by side to their partner. This is where the tutting comes in handy.\u00a0 You know you\u2019re British when you\u2019re in a rush and you\u2019re swearing under your breath because some tourist doesn\u2019t know how our system works.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re British, then you\u2019ll know about the John Lewis Christmas advert. Every year we look forward to the latest John Lewis advert which is usually followed by tears once we\u2019ve seen it. There are an assortment of stories and animals that are so cute and sad that we just can\u2019t helping bawling our eyes out over them.<\/p>\n
