9/13/11 Kwintessential

What did you find surprising about American culture and etiquette? Why was it surprising?  If nothing was surprising, what parts ring true?

I am surprised that to people coming to America that we seem rude.  By standing next to someone we don't know and not introducing ourselves, or talking to them without knowing them.  I would have never thought that that would be considered rude to outsiders.  I am also surprised that this website said it would be acceptable to arrive up to 30 minutes late to a large gathering.  I had never heard of leaving a small amount of food left on your plate, once you had finished eating.
