WTF in America
This isn't a peeve, nor a question, but it leaves me confounded every time I see a sign in the area, for a school or youth group fundraiser. How did selling mattresses ever come to be a popular method of fundraising?
Any other things that leave you scratching your head?

Leaving money on the table at a restaurant to pay for thr meal and/or tip the server in cash. I know they usually bring the check in a cover you can put the cash in but whenever we leave I always half-expect them to come running after us because someone has swiped it between us leaving and the server/busser picking it up. I'd never leave money on a table in the UK.

I don't know if it's specifically a Southern California thing but I've often noticed an unusually frequent occurrence of old beat up trucks, about 30 years old, traveling up and down on the freeway piled wobbly high with mattresses.
Of course said mattresses commonly end up on the shoulder at some point.

Another one is how car dealerships always have the largest US flags on a flag pole.
