    This question was asked in another major forum:
    Non Americans, what is the craziest rumor you heard about America that turned out to be true?

    These were the answers that people responded with:

    Injured people try to avoid getting ambulances called for them.

    They have garbage disposals in their kitchens.
    "I'm from the UK. I'm aware that they're not the same as bins/trash cans, and that they're mainly for food waste and scraps."

    That public transport is almost nonexistent in many smaller towns, which makes it a necessity for teens to have their own cars.

    "I remember when I was younger seeing something on an American sitcom or a movie about cheese that came in some kind of spray can. And I remember thinking it was a joke."

    That you can buy a gun in Walmart.

    "Trespassers may be shot" signs, which are not just for laughs

    Commercials for prescription drugs and surgeries

    Strangers will smile at you

    Americans can buy a 2 liter container of ketchup and think that's normal

    Many Americans only go to the store to buy food once a week

    Handing your credit card for a waitress to take and then come back with is normal

    10 lane roads in many American cities

    Rapists can go to prison for life

    Homeowners associations that have rules about what you can do to your house and yard

    An emergency room visit for something normal can cost $10,000

    US is slowly dying due to DRUGS, GUNS, evaporation of Middle Class etc...
    So many Americans have ruined their lives over Heroin and METH all coming from the Cartels in Mexico
