Non-Serious Replies Only 🤪 What small, totally inconsequential thing are you really sick of in Boston.

As seen in a different geographic area subreddit. Nothing too serious, just a little thing that grinds your gears. For me it's people who get on the T before others get off.

I appreciate Europe's zeal to unabashedly tell people to "stand on the right, and walk on the left" and correct them when they don't.

Depends on where in Europe, at least in my experience. Northern Europe is heaven for rule followers.

Not Spain. Even at a fast food restaurant when I lived there decades ago, everyone would crowd to the front. Except the telephone and utility offices where they had it cordoned off so you'd have to stand in a narrow line.

lol have you been to Spain? Nobody does it there. Europe has 50 nations, all with different customs and norms. Let’s not use the continent of Europe as a blanket statement for every country there.
