You may have heard that British people are addicted to tea, have a stiff upper lip, apologise a lot and obsess over the weather. Well, it’s all true, but there’s more! Here are 23 bonafide issues us Brits have to deal with every day of our lives:
1. When someone says “right, I better be off” and you try desperately hard to hide your delight…
2. When you insist somebody goes through the door first to the point it sounds menacing…
3. When you ask “is it still raining?” knowing perfectly well that it is still raining…
4. When you bought a sandwich to eat on the train but a stranger sits next to you…
5. When you catch yourself smiling in the mirror and realise why you never do it…
6. When your friend asks if you received their text and you totally overreact to your own lie…
7. When you see someone you know in the supermarket and try to avoid them…
8. When you use the self-checkout service to avoid human contact but then one of your items fails to scan…
9. When you’re fuming with somebody, but the most you can do is narrow your eyes slightly…
10. When you enter the wrong shop but feel too stupid to leave, so you walk down every aisle and fake-browse at products…
11. When you genuinely tell somebody “well done”, but it sounds like you’ve just made a ‘sarcy’ insult…
12. When you visit a friend and they’ve run out of teabags…
13. When you hug your friend for the first time, only for it to get awkward really quick…
14. When you spend three hours styling your hair and then step out into the British wind…
15. When you say “I’m fine” but you really mean “I want to stick my head in a ceiling fan right now”…
16. When the lights come back on after a five minute power cut and you feel as if you’ve just survived the apocalypse…
17. When you decorate your house for Halloween, but hide as soon as the doorbell rings…
18. When someone hands you your dropped phone and your first response is not to thank them, but to apologise…
19. When you’re getting a bad haircut but you don’t dare say anything…
 20. When you find out your parcel has been left with your neighbour…
21. When your co-worker makes you a tea and they add the milk in first…
22. When an unknown number calls you and you freeze in terror…
23. When you say to someone “pop round anytime” and spend the rest of your life terrified in case they take you up on the offer…
