often the British -- and europeans in general -- consider Americans to be very rude on things we don't even think about. We talk loudly, we expect immediate customer service... So sometimes Americans are offending others without realizing it or intending to.
I lived in the UK for several months and found most people there incredibly friendly and polite. But many of my friends made the mistake of thinking that shared language = shared culture. It got them into some sticky situations.
