It's hard for many of us to consider spending an entire paycheck on a cake or an ice maker, but when you think of all the money you spend on things that you don't even remember, maybe it's worth it to have a pleasant memory. While these ended up being decent expenses, some people get some extremely bad financial advice that is irredeemable. It'd be nice to have a taste of these absurdly expensive things people witnessed.
Josh Reed, a very tall, bearded man with light colored hair made it to Germany through a London airport with a passport that belonged to his much shorter, brown haired girlfriend.
He told The Sun, "I thought it was my passport, the lady checked it with my boarding pass. It wasn’t until we landed that I spotted it."
Even if they looked exactly alike, Reed said he and his girlfriend have different last names which is something that should be easy to spot on his ticket.
Reed's girlfriend ended up sending his passport to him so he could return. As for the airport, they have promised to step it up on security checks.
Culture shock is real, and sometimes a very small detail is enough to make you realize that the things you take for granted are definitely not standard. It could be as small as finding out milk is sold in bags, or as big as realizing that traffic laws are more of a suggestion than anything else. That said, non-Americans get some serious culture shocks when they get to the States, and some would be shocked to realized that there are some Western foods that are weird to visitors.
