America likes to think that their culture is superior and nothing that they do is weird at all. They expect that everybody looks up to them from other countries and that they are basically the best in every way shape and form. As an American, I don't think I'm very qualified to be the one to burst this bubble, so I'll let Redditors do it for me.

People on Reddit are sharing the weird things that Americans do that they initially thought were just silly stereotypes from films and such, but are actually very true. Some of these cultural norms are less flattering than others.

Kids say and do some pretty weird things. It's just how they're built; they have no filter and not a care in the world. As they get older, they (hopefully) develop a sense of what's socially appropriate and what isn't, but until that happens, kids will be weird and wonderful kids, doing some pretty strange stuff in the process. A Reddit thread asking parents to share the weirdest things they've caught their children doing has revealed some hilariously strange confessions, some of the funniest are below for your viewing pleasure and amusement. 

It's time for some Throwback Thursday in the form of items from our childhood that bring us nostalgia. From videotapes to playing minefield on the computer, to slapping those plastic strips across our wrists, they're all here below to warm your heart and conjure up memories of the good 'ol days. 

Your coworkers can be the difference between loving or hating your job. An AskReddit thread asking people to share stories of the worst coworkers they have ever worked with has revealed just how bad some people have it at work. Hopefully reading these will make you grateful for your coworkers who aren't as bad as you might have thought. Or, it will make you speak to HR just a little faster. Hopefully the former. 

Kids don't understand the world. To be fair, neither do most adults, but at least we are able to control our emotional responses when things upset us (which again, to be fair, even some adults struggle to do). But however nice it be to be able to have a full-blown tantrum every time we have a bad day or someone pisses us off, unfortunately, that's only a privilege that kids get. We have to put on a smile on our face and just get on with it. 

A Facebook page called Reasons My Son Is Crying is a collection of the brilliantly funny and illogical reasons why kids have had tantrums, as captured and submitted by their parents. Here is a selection of some of the funniest reasons for their meltdowns and even though we feel sorry for these little ones, they've certainly given us five minutes of chuckles. 

We all have our quirks, and dating is pretty much the worst.

And the struggle is real. 

And here are more funny names that gotta make you wonder what their parents were thinking

#InstaRepeat is the ultimate troll and it's brilliant. Here are some Deja Vu Vibes.

Truly, most of these are relatable and so, so '90s.
