How to Annoy a British Person

Use the word "quaint"

If you really want to annoy a British person, and I mean really annoy a British person, refer to their car/house/streets/fridge/etc as quaint.  Never has such a word been so overused by Americans when describing the UK. Yes, things here are smaller and older.  But quaint??? Really???  Come on guys, I know that we can use another word.  Perhaps "gently used" would be a better adjective to use.  Hell, even say you like it because its small and old.  You can use anything but quaint.

Refer to the British as European

Europe is a continent.  Britain is a group of islands.  Although they are both part of the EU and Britain is technically part of Europe, the British not like that lot over there.  They had the empire! And the sun never sets on the British empire!  Until it did...

Talk loudly.

As Americans, we sometimes don't realise that we can be pretty damn loud.  Sometimes its for a good reason, like being drunk.  Other times, we're just loud because....well because we can damnit!  At sport bars/pubs this is allowed and even encouraged.  While dining or chatting at work, not so much.

Don't queue (line) up

The Brits like queues.  They tend to judge restaurants by how many people are queuing to get inside.  Because if people are willing to wait an hour to eat, then it must be good.  There was even legislation drafted to require people to queue at the bar.  Luckily that didn't go through.  If you dare to queue jump, even by accident, you will incur the full wrath of a Brit.  They will curse you out, you will be throttled and possibly tarred, feathered and dragged through the high street.  Well not in real life, mind you.  But they will be thinking about it!
