There is little more fascinating than learning about popular customs and traditions in foreign countries.

This can include trademark foods and dishes, styles of clothing, as well as country specific holidays and traditions.

But as fascinating as these are to foreigners, locals are often less than impressed by their iconic homegrown brands and traditions.

In fact, the very mention of them might result in yawn or an eye-roll.

Redditor itskaml was curious to hear about the things which fascinate foreigners, but bore the locals, leading them to ask:
"What is something popular in your country that you absolutely don't have interest in?"

Why Not Let It Be A Surprise?

"Gender reveal party."- SuvenPan

Fascinating, But Inhumane?

"Bull fighting"- Mrfister7377

Not Always Indicative Of Domestic Happiness...

"Marriages that are full of spectacle, instagram stories and tons of people."

"I don't even care about marriage that much, but when I do, I want it to be just with the people I actually care about."

"I don't want to give a show."- RoguishBaron

It's easy to see how something commonplace in one country might not elicit the same level of fascination to locals as it does foreigners.

Though based on the selections above, it's fascinating to note how many pet peeves seem to be universal.

Proving that though oceans and mountains may divide us, we're not so different after all.
