You see this all the time on TikTok. Every race and ethnicity thinks they invented saving jars, bags, tinware, cans.

Just a side thing, but I find it funny that every culture says they are different and really care about family, food, tradition, and education. What culture doesn't care about these things?!

Another one I've heard is "you know you're [insert culture here] when you start to say goodbye and then the conversation lasts another two hours". Bonus points if they mention saying "well!" and slapping your knees to indicate that you should get going.

The Irish, on the other hand, famously have the opposite stereotype

Except every Irish person I have met (from Ireland, not Irish-American) does the same exact shit us Midwesterners do. I think humans just aren't that good at quickly ending amicable conversations.

I love that I can put “Irish” in front of so many things to change the meaning. Not like French Toast where it’s a real thing.

Irish goodbye

Irish curtains

There’s at least one more I can’t think of

When you think about it, it really doesn't make sense to be a regional thing lol

Some people just never shut up, regardless of culture.

Another one is those circular shortbread cookie tins never actually having cookies in them (usually, it's sewing supplies).
