This humorous article delves into the quirky and sometimes confusing habits of Canadians, as observed by both Canadians and non-Canadians.
Why do you Canadians always insist on getting a drink for anyone who walks in your door every single time, no matter what kind of visit it is?! Canadians, let's get real for a sec: we've got some unique habits. But they're pretty hard to pinpoint — until we accidentally confuse non-Canadians. Those moments are often embarrassing, but always hilarious.
My favourite one is when people come across a mitten, hat, or scarf, and place it on the nearest pole so the owner can easily retrieve it, and everyone respects it.

If I ever hear someone say fuck off or bullshit (with the audio intonation of a donkey's hee-haw), I know they're Canadian. My immigrant coworker asked why we say fuck all the time even when we’re happy and I didn’t have an answer for her 😔. Complete strangers of all races and genders sharing the same table at a Canadian Costco food court. And it isn't unusual for someone to just strike up a conversation to get the whole table chattering. In 20 years in the States, I have NEVER seen this happen at any US Costc

Pixel Series Handsets Feature Unique Call-Answering NotificationRemember the old days when newly released Pixel models used to launch with more bugs than the Raid R&D laboratory? It seems Google has improved the quality of new Pixel models, where most issues are now not bugs but poor decisions. For example, the Pixel series uses the Samsung-built 'Shannon A5123' 5G modem and a slow optical fingerprint scanner under the display instead of a Snapdragon modem and an ultrasonic scanner. The Pixel series handsets feature a unique call answering notification that stays on the screen even after a call has ended, reminding the user to answer the call by saying 'Answer'.
