as a cashier at a restaurant, i see this a lot and dont know who to pick tbh

+Anais Infante oh I believe it. that must be hard lol

If everyone is throwing a card at me I take all the cards and shuffle them and pick randomly. It usually makes everyone happy.

Gabi Mecillas That is smart!

really?? OMG

I thought you'll say 'Tiger balm

My mom did say that I'm getting fatter, but in a friendly way.

TRUEEEEE

True

Chris Evans Is a beautiful and precious man thats my grandma actually lmao, she literally always stuffs me till i suffocate and one second later say i always eat too much and am getting fatter all the time

My dad is Lebanese (born in US) and does the check one with relatives and friends. It seems like a generational thing with them though. Some of his friends were his frat brothers in college. I think it was worse among family members. With my own friend, we pay for our own items unless one of us has a birthday then we pay the whole bill.

It always ends in an argument until someone else(not arguing) gives up and go pays XD atleast thats how i see it

Potato Guy yeah

Why do most Asians insist on paying the bill though? That means you have to pay the full bill with your own money, at least split it. Although personally I'm fine with someone paying for my food completely.

Funny story: Somehow one of our families paid the check (we had my family, cousins family, and other cousins family plus one of my aunts family). Now we had to decide who got the leftover food. My mom insisted my aunt takes it and my aunt insist my cousin (who's older than me) takes it and eventually my mom gave in and took it out of anger. Later I said to my sister "I don't get why they fought about who gets it. You take the food, You eat the food, Free food" obviously it wasn't free but still the more food the better, no? You pay for it then take it.

xd

I’m not Asian but my aunt would pay a day or two ahead

😄🤣 he stole their card thats funny!

Paying bills to old asians is like solving math equations. Everyone want to beat others to it.

Generous and smart lol

I'm picturing Lord Voldemort in a supermarket, pressing his ears against melons now. xD

My lord, only muggles do such profane things

Eeeey what's up voldy

Ikr

John Smith China is in Asia you idiot learn your geography befor you talk

retheply I wish that could be a thing in my country

paola... sounds like real fun XD I agree

Yeah it's such a struggle but it's kinda fun watching

Yeah, same, it's so damn embarrassing.

retheply the only reason I go to family dinners😂😂 not to pay but watching the drama.

yes totally my mum

Asian parent's always generous with money and gifts except to their own kids! , My father, "You no need!" Someone's wedding, "Get the best, no want to think we cheap!" Funeral, "Here is red envelope of cash, maybe, not enough, I give more!" Also, the lawn gets treated better than you, Taking a shower, "No waste water, you use to much!" "Go water lawn, give lots of water, make a nice and green!"

@@shoongpink its a checking wheather the fruits or food are good or not but i really dont think that this is really inportant but asian mom always do this whenever they go for grocery

Im hispanic and whenever the check comes and im with friends and no grown ups we fight over who pays

kitkat _hd lol so true

kitkat _hd trueeee

My whole adult section of my family. Like it's just a cheak

kitkat _hd... That’s legit my family 😂🤣😂😂

my dad does that

Bri Was Here I look for the best one without any problems. But I never knock on them lol

Bri Was Here Its real technique not just asians do it

im not asian and i also do this. With certain fruits you can actually hear if they are ripe or not.

Italians--and many Mediterranean folks--are pretty nuts about it too. My great-grandmother used to touch, tap, shake, smell, etc., *every single piece* of produce she bought.

Tyler Chen chinese? 😂😂

Italian? (jk)

Scemo familia! Why not experience the culture where you are in!

That just seems so remarkably uncultured to me like you are in another country why no experience its cuisine ?!?!

spanish?

but they give you SO MUCH FOOD. And I cant even go against them because I feel bad. 😂😂

Ikr

Have you guys experienced it? The longest this took was 3 hours.

Drive Gaming DAMN that's a long check fight XD The longest I've been a part of/witness was only like thirty minutes because we were disturbing the other diners there :'D

Katie Crossing Kool. We were in a private room soo...

My aunt once slapped a cousin over a check fight. XD.

Same here. I can't imagine walking somewhere where there is literally no shade and the sun is beating down on me. Have to bring an umbrella.

+VIPShirlee03 yes! umbrella, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen. :) I keep all of em in my car.

It's actually a very smart thing to do, especially in the summer where I live (SoCal). Heat stroke is no joke!

I wear a hoodie when its sunny even if its 110 degrees lol

Yeah I understand why it's a thing in Asian cultures because they idolize fairer skin, it used to be a thing in Western countries as well, but the times changed.

why??

@@user-no9im9px6e I am not sure.

@@krishankalia9990 Well, that helped a lot with my answer 😂

same

same here.

RIP in peace

same basically the best part of the video

lol same

hahaha true😂😂

+John Smith You mad bro?

that john actually copies his comment and pastes it multiple times you mad john?

I see Europeans doing that too!! maybe not to the tofu tho haha XD

In my experience I aim for watermelons that feel really heavy and have a prominent yellow spot. Hollow sounding ones don't tend to be consistant with me, and they're often kinda dry.

I can relate to this on a spiritual level

This is the most true thing ever

LMFAO!

I lol'd xD

boy, them being chinese and honest about things they do make them actually more approachable are you by chance a sjw?

LMAO XD

Martha Marie Isi

Mia Nakano go to the toilet and pay beforehand as I do. People are so mad at me for doing so :D

Morfeus OOOHH. I'll try that next time! LOL thanks!

Apeksha because indians are still asian lol?

Indians are Asian

India is in the south east ASIA!

India is actually in South Asia, but same thing goes, they're still Asian. They're categorized with Nepal, Pakistan, etc. Not Vietnam, Cambodia, Philippines, and so on :)

Myeong-Eun Seong I'm Bangladeshi. And India is in South east Asia. I'm sure. Why?? Because we used to be same country less then one century ago.

I knew I already was Asian by blood but damn

I do the knocking thing without knowing why myself. It's almost like... _instinctive????_ Asian blood is strong!

I do that if I'm standing for long hours and my legs are tired.I think it's an Asian thing because they stand for long hours at a time often and would use that to relax a little.

I'm 100% korean and can't be on that posture more than a minute. painful af, but I envy those who can do that since it seems as you can get comfortable anywhere...

+TF What honestly tho. Just by looking I got tired

What were the ones you didn't relate to?

No Asian squat for me and I have one Asian "auntie" but she doesn't tell me I am fat but she won't let me do anything in the kitchen, She tells me...You guest you sit, I do this.

Same

+TammyToo Why do you hit tofu before you buy it? I don't understand it at all.

Because you want to make sure it's still juicy.

And the watermelon thing! And the getting fat thing :D

Eugenie Sh yesss!

Waat? Knocking on whatermelons, squeezing bread, shaking tin cans and so on - totally so, but sharing food... Probably in Uzbekistan, when eating pilaf with your family, or in U, R and B when eating dry foods like chips, but never with dishes. I haven't seen such a tradition even in the countryside.

My family is Ukrainian and does a lot of the things on this list, especially knocking on watermelons and sharing food. It’s usually something we do with friends or family, and when we try new food we’ve never eaten before.

most elderly sees young generation as too thin though

exactly, since back then being fat's considered a symbol of prosperity

+Nothing Worth Are you talking about the 1700's?

No, there was a famine in China in relatively recent history (1958-1962). Look up "Great Chinese Famine" for more information. People who are 60 even are young enough to have memories of this time. But I don't know about Chinese people thinking it's better to be "fatter", at least not for women. Most that I know want to be thin. (Sidenote, I live in China)

+HereIsHelena the "fatter thing" is not favored anymore as western influence moved in. in korea when my omo was young she said it was favorable then. she 60 years old.

sunburnt. ever heard of it? low melanin + sun = sensitive painful red skin.

Brutal Honesty​​ You're telling me that despite the continual abuse and colour class accounts made by both the government, media, and mass amounts of skin whitening creams that are literally packed on the shelves of nearly all of the "beauty parlours", the incredible issues many asian countries have with skin colour amounting to people being labelled as the "untouchables". Instances where air China warns Beijing residents about an influx of "dark skinned people" ... It amounts to sunburn? Ever taken international relations?  Not saying that 100% of this is based on these issues... But that it is a large problem within. Any asian countries

+Heeey Devon hi im korean what you say is true from my experience growing and im pale skin most of life and one summer i get dark. yes i got noticeable more mistreatment from others. john leguizamo(colombian born comedian raised in nyc) know exactly what you talking too!

Why is it bad if you work outside?

scanjett oh outside isn't the problem. the problem is what are called "outside jobs" in Asia

Oh wow I didnt know you guys actually mind that. Well yea looking at my friends and I we do get really close to one another

Oh it's nit just between guys. Chinese people do NOT understand personal space. I have had aunties litterally take my baby from my arms wihout even saying hi to me, and on my wedding night some cousins thought appropriate to sleep on the floor in my hotel room.

WTH, men! I would kick everyone out

Mega Motorcyclop still Sri lankens are a bit similar about the personal space too. These too Sri lanken kids (early 20s) were feeding each other, you know like cute couples do putting food in each others mouths, I looked at them and said "So... are you guys dating or something?" they said no, I said "Really? Because that was kinda gay."

Christopher Doxtator LOLOL XD wow

Same here, last night, a sister (auntie sister, I mean an older female friend) told me that I was fat, my face was too big like a pig! I looked at her face and said in my mind: "auntie, you are even a lot fatter than me!"

I would've thought as a Spaniard you'd relate to the napping part the most!

+Nguyen Thi Phuong Anh lol but cant say that too disrespectful. i would said it anyway someone told me i was fat and they are fatter than me

Portugal is the same xD And no KroMcLovinFaSho xD

+Rockin Sim don't Spaniards have siestas?

lol it supose help get body working especially if you sick cold water doesnt help

I used to drink warm water because it has more falvour.

We went to a Japanese restaurant and the waitress was Korean. My grandmother asked for warm water and the waitress just stared at her.

Yerevan Naypyidaw warm water is good for your disgestive system

I also hate cold water.

But it's true especially when you don't have a note in real life or on the phone cause then you can't argue your way out

Jose Antonio Lanz because cold water is not good for our body

Jungkook lamb skewer Only for 3 dollars ARMY 💜

It's an unscientific health theory where there are "cold" and "hot" foods. All foods are somewhere on the spectrum of cold and hot, not necessarily regarding temperature. For optimum health, they try to eat a balance of cold and hot foods. But, I'm not sure how far this goes and what different things are classified as.

Cold drinks are really awful if you have acid reflux. Lots of people avoid cold drinks because it causes actual discomfort. I'm not asian and my body can no longer have cold drinks, I can have room temperature and warm. It's definitely more healthy as it causes less shock to the system and helps break down foods, where as cold water solidifies foods. As you get older you might become more drawn to warm teas and less into freezing cold drinks for similar reasons. It's just easier to get down.

Jose Antonio Lanz it's because, especially in hot weather, cold drinks do more harm than good. This is because cold drinks lowers your core body temperature and make you shiver, which generates more body heat because your body thinks its cold outside. Warm water raises your body temperature and makes it generate sweat, which while sounds gross, does cool you off. Yes, it's completely opposites and why places in Mexico and Sichuan China eat so much hot and spicy foods. To generate sweat to cool you down.

same here

It would seem Im more asian than european that i am then. No one I know does this, but for me its the easiest way to figure out the state of the fruit or vegetable, I dont tap it though, i just feel the thikness and texture with my fingers when I weight it and smell it. Smell is like 70% though.

Have you ever tried it after standing for hours on end? It's a huge relief because it's as if you're sitting.

I'm Caucasian and I have always done it

we in Poland do it too, especially we do it in polish squatting circles and sometimes it involves one alcoholic beverage we all share 😉

davecsaszarable I'm Italian and I do it... it's a little embarrassing tho because all my friends are like 'lol wut r u doing'

It's because it's not the Asian squat. Slavic and Latino people do it all the time too.

Is mainland the Asian squat one?

+jr9616 it is. nothing wrong just u don't see Hong Kong people do that any more.

When I try to do it I always fall. I'm asian

I've seen it in Korea

+Nathaniel Mills I've seen Korean international students do it at my school lol. I try it awkward at first but nice.

The Phantastic Channel and for much of the Europe too!

Morfeus the watermelon yes, but I think not the checks, exept on dates

Arabs are Asian

Arabs are technically Asian.

arabs are asians

Giuu Yume Hudson It's pretty common here in Europe. How else you would know if it's ripe enough? Lol

me too! especially the watermelon tapping.....Mike went too over...XD the tofu would've crumbled omg

i almost peed! :D

HippieTheHippo I showed my mom that part and she laughed a lot while grinning CX It was pretty amusing

xdddddddd

+Becca-chan 34 my mom too! She was like "Nobody goes tapping on the apple and tofu!!!" The check one was too funny. 😂😂😂😂

*Asian noises*

Geminingee lets go eat! LOL

It's considered really rude if you split the bill or not fight for the bill

Min YoonGi omg! well I dont like when other people pay everything. I prefer splitting Good to know then

this guy is smart. Its true about the food bill thing especially among the elderly they have so much experience in negotiating that its a victory to pau for the food

:/ yea we do

+B Wong so that makes me no longer Asian if I shop in Whole Foods?

yes, you are a traitor to your kind

+B Wong we dont we shop at anything without organic foods

I did

I'm asian and I can't do it rip

then you're not a real asian

i been doing the asian squat forever and im not even asian im hispanic

Rizal M. thanks for the identity crisis lmao

update: all of my family can do it, my new theory is that i'm adopted

Raven Troglin ikr same I can be outside for 25 minutes and I'm redder than Chinese hot oil
