Red Solo cups, flag merch, loud talking at restaurants, or asking for Ranch dressing everywhere they go--Americans aren't always hard to find...

Oh, you're from Florida? I couldn't tell from your giant American flag-printed T-shirt that says 'Florida.' So, when a Reddit user asked, 'What are obvious immediate giveaways that someone is an American?' people were ready to share the obvious signs that they've spotted an American tourist.

My friend (Australian) walked into a McDonalds in the US and there was a man sitting at one of the tables reading a Bible and openly wearing a gun around his waist. That is a uniquely American combination. - Enceladus89

15.

I'm Canadian, generally americans are far less reserved and love small talk.- Generallybadadvice

I'm an American that works for an international company. Europeans are often amused by how we describe distances. Instead of saying, 'we're x number of miles from that city ', we'll say, 'we're two hours away' , or 'that's a four hour drive'. They're also universally blown away once they realize how big the US is. - TheBishopOfNorwich

British man once told me he knew I was American because I was wearing a baseball cap backwards. - I_Fart_Cum_Bubbles
