Big Cars: Our cars are huge here, compared to when we travel abroad, and it seems like most on the road are newish (within the last few years) because most Americans lease their cars and want the latest-and-greatest. Cars in the USA seem to go to the used market when they reach about 40K miles or 2-3 years, yet most cars, if maintained properly (regular oil changes service checks, replacing wear-and-tear items like brakes and tires) should last at least 200K or 10-15 years.

Big Homes: A 3-bed 2-bath 2200sf home in the USA is typical for a family of four and even considered small in most suburbs. In the rest of the world you'll find extended family living in that much space with you (if it can be found affordably) with lots of aunties and uncles and cousins and children.

We complain if we don't have a dishwasher.

We complain if we don't have a washing machine in our home/unit.

We REALLY complain if the have a washing machine but no dryer. Most of the world hang their clothes to dry and would never consider wasting the incredible energy it takes to heat an enclosed tumbling space to dry a piece of fabric.

We are a USE-AND-DISCARD culture. We put trash in a bin and let it go. We even say, "throw the trash 'away'" without knowing anything about where 'away' even is!

Note: this comment speaks to the USA sense of entitlement, but I'm also ranting about a popularized segment of the population. There are VAST SWATHS of USA citizens who are economically disadvantaged, yet remain lumped within the world's perception of who we are as a society.
