I am an American who lives in the UK – this common household appliance made me terrified when I moved here for the first time and I thought I would be elected

An American woman unveiled the common household device that she found ‘frightening’ when she first moved to the UK.

Maxine, who has lived in Britain for the past 23 years, made the revelation in a viral video about her Tap account, @Yorkshireyank.

In the clip, which took more than 36,000 views, she mentioned the ‘five things I have never seen until I moved to the UK’.

Maxine, who lives in Leeds, revealed one of the biggest differences she saw, was to be seen for the first time a ‘power shower’.

A power shower has a built -in electric pump to increase the flow rate by offering a stronger water jet.

The Tiktoker revealed that she was ‘terrified’ because she thought she would be ‘replaced’ with an electric machine in the shower.

She said: ‘I had never seen a power shower before I moved here. And I will be honest with you, when I used a Power shower for the first time, I was terrified that I would be elected. ‘

Elsewhere, the influencer claimed that she “had never seen a radiator” before moving to Great Britain.

She explained: ‘I had never seen a radiator in a house. I know that sounds ridiculous, but we had never had radiators in our house.

“We had forced air and it was hot or cold and so we heated or cool our houses.”

Another thing that confused Maxine was a plug connection for a razor in the bathroom.

She said: ‘I had never seen, what do you call those things? Those razor greenhouses earlier in the bathrooms. I’ve never seen anything like that.

“We just were never allowed to play with electricity and water at the same time.”

The fifth household device to have her scratched was a ‘washing machine dryer combination’.

She said: ‘I had never dried a combo unit of a washing machine until I moved to this country.

‘Now, since I left, they actually have them in the US, but they were extremely unusual when I left. They are just nothing.

She concluded: ‘So if you are an American in the UK, what are a few things that you have surprised that you had never seen before?

“Or, if you’re British and visited the US, what are some things that surprised you at the United States?”

British hurried to the comments to reveal things they found strange when they first visited the US.

One person said, “I’m British and it shocks me that American hotel rooms have no boilers, how should I make a cup of Yorkshire tea?”

Another said, “Tipping, why should you not pay people a decent wage in America.”

Someone else added: ‘Probably remove your card after a meal. Pack your shopping and the amount of plastic bag waste. Children order McDonald’s and the small bag with fries. ‘

A fourth added: “Oh I think it’s great that you have the laundry rooms as standard in your houses, with large washing machines and dryers.”

Another said, “The thing that really surprised me in the US were toilet cabin doors!”

Maxine replied: “Yes, when I go back for visits, it feels so nicely intrusive.”

Previously Maxine dee Normal habits in the US That would be considered ‘rude’ in the UK.

She says that it is considered normal for American citizens to give guided tours to guests, to show them where they cook, do the laundry and relax in their spare time.

“This is something I have been familiar with personally and I personally walked around the houses of people,” she said.

“It’s just strange and it would be considered rude in this country (the UK).”

She then said that this is common for waiters and waitresses to remove the payment card of a customer from paying an invoice in a restaurant.

‘For about a period of five to ten minutes you have no idea where your card has been, which it has touched and what happened to your card in that time frame, she added.

“That just doesn’t happen in the UK.

“They bring the credit card reader to your table and then they do the right for you, so there is no chance that someone will skim your credit card.”

“Many Americans will say they know their table manners, but you don’t do them like the British do, so let’s not agree,” she said.

The maker of the content said that people generally think that Americans are louder than British and believes that it comes down to the difference in tone.

“I think it’s because our accent just wears, but sometimes being loud is considered rude,” she said.

But sometimes loud is considered rude because you will be on a train and the first thing you can hear are these American accents. You can hear us before you can see us. ‘

The last point that the Tiktoker remarked was that ways and said that those from the UK usually say ‘thank you’ much more than Americans.

“Now there are some Americans who thank you for everything, but there is a large part of the Americans who will enter a store and say,” Hey, where is the flower? ” Not intended to be rude, while the British will in fact see it as rude.

“The only thing you should just have to say is:” Can you please tell me where the flower is? ” These are just a few of the differences. ‘
