Healthcare that doesn’t cost a bajillion dollars ( a lot)!
What do you call coke/pepsi, where I live in the US we call it pop but other’s call it soda.

Vermont just passed a mandatory composting law. Not for residences, but every other entity with food waste.

I miss my state. We had HUGE compost buckets in VT, filled em every winter and it would take all summer to unfreeze them. Much easier composting here in Florida. But man, I miss that little state!

There’s a lunch counter in the back of a convenience store at the train station in Exeter NH where I first found beans as a regular side dish - you choose beans or home fries.

I always find it funny when someone says they’re going on holiday. I automatically think of Christmas, Thanksgiving, NYE etc.
We call it a vacation in the US.

Okay so this made me bust out laughing 
It’s so true. I wouldn’t trust a person who microwaves water, with my life. Seriously.

…and the time I asked where the jumpers were. The sales lady looked at me funny, then led me to the choice between 2 wool/knitted dresses. I then looked at her funny! 
I still laugh. She didn’t 
Okay, so now you need to tell me what jumpers are. I want to laugh too

On my first day of work in the US, the HR lady and I had an awkward conversation (I have a particular skill for confusing myself and anyone around me).
Me: What’s the process for requesting holiday?
HR: You just get it.
Me: But you must need a record of it, yes?
HR: No, we know.
Me:
HR: ok?
Me: umn, I don’t understand
HR: slightly impatient We all have the same holidays here
Me:
HR: We all have the same 6 holiday days …
Me: Wait, are you talking about things like Bank holidays?
HR:
We got there in the end.

Similar with words like hospital. Americans would never skip the “the” in front of it
I see it all the time and it’s so cringeworthy
Yes!!!

The USA write the word herb, but apparently their ‘H ‘is silent
