Random pick from a rather long list: The fact that the president can (and does; a lot..) "pardon" random criminals.

It's such a strange contradictory place. You pride yourself in freedom of speech but are so puritanical you refer to using the toilet as 'using the restrooms' and 'taking a comfort break'. Everyone knows you're going in there to crimp one off, not to have a comfortable rest in a designated room.
The fraternity and sorority thing at universities is really odd too. I don't really know what they're for aside from providing a dedicated environment for abuse via the deceptively amiable name of 'hazing'.
And referring to all your sports competitions as World Championships when the only teams that play are American. Bit cringey. I mean, you probably would win if there was an actual international basketball or baseball or american football competition, but at least the World Champion thing would actually mean something then.

Came up recently... cupholders in cars. You really have to drink in the car while driving?
Did you only visit New England? Because in most other states, the drive can take quite a while, as in hours between cities. And there's not much to see or do at a random gas station or rest stop while you enjoy a beverage, so you may as well bring it along and get the journey over sooner.
I mean its not only american thing.there are cupholders in european cars..... or there were cupholders. At least My father 2001 Audi has it.
