Every country has its own culture and customs. When Indians go to live in other countries, sometimes they don't feel comfortable with the customs there. A video of an American woman who came to India is currently going viral on social media. In the video, the woman named Kristen Fischer says that some of the customs in India are difficult for American people. The video was shared by a foreign woman living in Delhi. Eight things are mentioned in the video.

There are many things that are commonplace in India that are pretty unheard of in America. Here are a few things we have noticed are normal in India but would make any American very uncomfortable.

Not using toilet paper

Americans like their toilet paper and the thought of using anything else makes them very uncomfortable. They are grossed out by the jet spray and uncomfortable with the thought of getting wet using the toilet.

Sharing chappals

Sharing slippers is something people would never do in the USA. Indian homes usually have communal chappal that anyone who comes over can use. Americans would be very grossed out by this concept.

Using the same water bottle

Sharing water bottles is something Americans would be uncomfortable with. Usually, people prefer their bottle and get grossed out by sharing.

Sharing food at a restaurant

In India when you go to a restaurant oftentimes one person will order the food for the entire table and everyone will share. In America, people prefer to order and eat their own food and don't like sharing.

Eating with hands

Eating with hands is something that Americans would be uncomfortable with. They do not like to have their hands messy and eat anything messy with their hands. Indians prefer to eat with their hands and Americans need utensils.

Not using carseats for kids

Not having kids sit in car seats is completely unheard of in America. They would get very uncomfortable with the thought of kids sitting on someone's lap while riding in a car and not strapped into a 5-point safety harness.

Families sleeping in the same bed

Having kids in your bed with you is something that Americans find very uncomfortable. They like their space and always prefer their kids in separate rooms. It would be very hard for Americans to think about having a family all sleep in the same bed.

Living with in-laws

Living with in-laws and other family members would be such a crazy concept in the USA. Americans wouldn't ever dream of permanently living with their parents or in-laws after marriage. It would be extremely uncomfortable for them.

The video has already been viewed by many people. It is receiving many likes and comments. It is also drawing some criticism.
