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

"I'm Swiss."

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.

Kash Patel Lashes Out At Critics After Reports He Used Government Jet To Go Watch Girlfriend Sing

FBI Director Kash Patel lashed out at the "pathetic reports" that he used a government jet to fly to watch his 26-year-old girlfriend, country singer Alexis Wilkins, perform at a wrestling event, saying that "going after the people doing great work, my personal life, or those around me is a total disgrace."

Patel insisted the reports were an attempt to smear the “rock-solid conservative” Wilkins, whom he referred to as "a patriot." However, as a community note below his post on X also pointed out, the crux of the scandal is his use of government funds rather than his own to attend Wilkins' performances.

President Donald Trump was widely mocked after he asserted during a 60 Minutes interview with Norah O'Donnell that he's "much better-looking" than New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani—a claim that not a soul is taking seriously.

Trump isn't exactly known to be a looker but he has nonetheless declared himself a "perfect physical specimen" and boasted about his physical prowess, once noting that his own White House physician had declared him "healthier than Obama"—despite Trump's distaste for exercise and fondness for fast food.
