Keeping ourselves informed by listening to news outlets and others can be valuable, but it’s important to acknowledge that at times, we may encounter repeated offensive or untrue statements. A recent internet survey asked, “Americans, what are you tired of hearing?” and here are the top 19 answers.
Anything About The Kardashians
“Everything I’ve learned about the Kardashians, I’ve learned involuntarily.”
“I’m a fashion design student, and in the fashion world, you have to go far out of your way to avoid them. Their style is boring at best and horrendous at worst, but they dominate the magazines and fashion shows; people act as if every trend revolves around them.”
What Elon Musk Is Saying
“Elon is a monster that eats attention; we need to stop feeding him so he’ll go away.”
“Especially since Tesla is a flash in the pan. They don’t have anything new in development or redesign. By the time they get around to new products, the rest of the car companies will have better and cheaper alternatives.”
Donald Trump’s Actions
“Agreed. And I think every other country is just as sick and tired of hearing about Trump as Americans are.”
“Every time news pops up on my phone, it’s Trump. I’ve shut it off now. I’m sick of it.”
“I am tired of seeing that giant, orange, angry, thin-lipped joke every time I want to see if something important is actually happening in the world.”
Negative Comparisons With Other Countries
“Tired of hearing everything we do is the worst when there are things we are good at. English kids aren’t guaranteed a spot in a local school. We have the pod classrooms that ensure your kid is guaranteed a space in the school.”
“They compare “Nowhere, PA” vs. “Rome” when they pull up those ‘Ugly American City vs. Beautiful European City’ pictures. Not an accurate survey!”
American People Love Junk Food
“I’m a Midwestern American, and I am overweight, but that’s because I like all food, not just burgers. I’m sick of the dumb stereotype.”
“When teaching abroad, I saw a textbook that compared American and local diets. My students were surprised when I said most Americans don’t eat pizza/burgers every day, and we also eat rice and pretty much everything else too.”
Nobody Wants To Work Anymore
“What they mean is nobody wants to work for low wages only to be an emotional punching bag for abusive customers anymore. Shocking.”
“This is exactly my situation. I make a little above minimum wage, but I have scumbag bosses that make work hell for everyone. And I desperately want out, but the job market in the small town I live in is horrendous.”
Your call is very important to us. Please continue to hold
“All our representatives are busy right now as we’re currently experiencing unusually high call volumes. How can it constantly be unusually high?”
“Or listen closely because our menu options have changed. I call lies; no one’s menus have changed!”
“My state’s tax office hold music is the worst I’ve ever heard.”
The Lies Told By Politicians
“I am tired of this, too. I am tired of hearing the retirement age is being raised again because the government needs more money (they haven’t managed the budget right). I am tired of inflation after big corporations reported record profits. I am tired of being the little person getting bent over by the government.”
“Then they come along and raise the price of everything a person needs in their life.”
People’s Obsession With The Pledge Of Allegiance
“I had seriously forgotten I used to say it in school until I happened upon it in threads asking what other countries don’t understand because it made zero impact in my life.”
“I had a cousin who briefly lived in America as a small child. She misheard the instructions and pledged allegiance to “the frog” every day for a year.”
Anything A Car Salesman Calls To Say
“We have been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty.”
“Try to sell them the car. Keep calling them back once they hang up.”
“I couldn’t reach you; maybe I forgot your number. Also, your friends would probably love a call to hear about the new warranty discounts for cars they no longer own.”
For The Safety Of The Children
“We need to [blatant act of fascism] to protect our children from [dogwhistle].”
“Here is a bulletproof pad for your 5-year-old’s backpack, but we can’t ban certain guns because it’s an infringement of rights!”
“Ban TikTok because it’s bad for the kids if China monitors us, but not if the US Government monitors us.”
American Food Is Bad
“Stop downplaying our food. Sure, it might not all be authentic, but we have food from pretty much every culture in the US. Even in the states, “Mexican” food can vary. And there are many different styles of BBQ, pizza, etc.”
“I would sign up for a food tour of the US in a heartbeat.”
All Americans Are Obese And Inactive
“It is not true that America has the highest obesity rate in the world. And yes, I’m tired of hearing it because that statement could never apply to all of us anyway.”
“We got the most Olympic gold medals; how come we’re not stereotyped for being athletic?”
“It is downright nastiness and unfair to blame it on moral failures or laziness.”
Racism Is Rife In America
“I have traveled a lot in the US. There are very few places on earth that are more accepting and inclusive of people of different races and nationalities.”
“I’m now a US citizen, having moved from Europe. I had been brainwashed into thinking America was a racist society from the news narrative in my younger years. It was most definitely not the reality when I moved there.”
Americans Don’t Know About Geography
“It’s annoying. Yeah, a lot of people are dumb and don’t know anything, but you can’t say that about the entire country.”
“Those random sidewalk interviews are the worst. I swear they find innocent people and twist their words to make them sound more stupid.”
“Spent half a year in Japan. If you think we’re bad, you should hear the Japanese.”
The US Is To Blame For All International Problems
“People act like the cure for American exceptionalism is blaming Americans. The world is nuanced, and all the drama in the geopolitical sphere cannot be laid at our feet. Reflexively blaming America removes all agency from other countries and cultures.”
“A teacher tried to tell me all the problems in Peru are American in origin. I realized he had just substituted the word “American” for both capitalism and imperialism.”
America Lacks Cultural Diversity
“We don’t have a singular culture or language. It’s a melting pot. I’ve never had a friend group with more than two people who had the same cultural background. You got a crash course as a kid when you spent the night at a friend’s house.”
“In one state, you’ll find that there’s a different cultural vibe in neighboring cities!”
The Ringing In Their Ears
“Mine gets really bad when I’m not completely focused on something. it drives me insane, and your comment just made me tune back into it.”
“I’m convinced there is a tinnitus epidemic. People are entirely too used to being around 100 dB for extended periods of time in social gatherings, causing hearing damage.”
“It’s me. Pick up already.”
What’s Just About To Happen
“That recession is ABOUT to happen. That arrest is ABOUT to happen. So obnoxious.”
“That’s the stuff that really angers me. Our news cycle is so ridiculously sped up that all they do is talk about stuff before it happens.”
“If something big is coming, then let’s get on with it.”
