An American revealed all the things in British households that baffle him – and it’s left people in stitches.
The influencer, known as kjordyyy on TikTok, said he had a “culture shock” when he came to the UK, and discovered how Brits run their homes. There are a few things that he simply can’t get his head around.
Even though he now lives in the UK, he said there are many things that “still don’t make sense” to him, like why tumble dryers are never found next to washing machines. Moreover, seeing a drying rack in someone’s living room completely blows his mind.
He said: “You have to hang things up like it’s the 18th century bro. It’s the struggle. Next thing is two things in one. The water pressure from a normal tap. Insane. Like, the cold water doesn’t get that cold, but the hot water get’s like steaming/boiling.”

He also admitted plug sockets confuse him due to the fact that you can turn them off. They only work when you can see the red “on” sign, so it stops you from using unwated electricity.
“Also, maybe it’s my crib, but y’all lightbulbs just be out here like raw dogging it in your living room without no like shade or lampshade or nothing,” he added. “All aesthetic and then – boom – single light bulb.”
He also said “RIP” to a nice cold drink, as there’s no ice machines in fridges – something that’s obviously common in the US. The content creator has been living on British soil for around four years, and he admitted these things still “throw him off now”.
It’s left people in stitches, with more than 22,000 people having liked the video. It also got a lot of people talking about how we present our homes.

One person commented: “Wild to me that American plug sockets are always live.” Another wrote: “It’s funny, as when I was in Texas, I asked my friend why she has a drier and not hang clothes outside as it’s regularly hot. Clothes would take minutes to dry.”
A third also replied: “You didn’t mention the bathroom light switch being outside the bathroom.” Meanwhile, a fourth chimed in with: “As a Brit, I thought most of us had tumble dryers.”
Others were also quick to tell him how Brits do things differently. For example, one person explained we have dryers, but it’s more cost-effective to air-dry clothes.
It was also noted the temperature of water can be tweaked via the boiler, and you can add a lampshade to lights if you want to. Not to mention, we make our own ice by using ice cube trays.
