Americans tend to be polite almost to the point of absurdity

Well, internet forums exempt, I've found it to be the truth. There is the stereotype of the loud, obnoxious American tourist, but in my experience that's a faulty one. Everyone I've met, be that in various casinos or as tourists elsewhere, have always been incredibly polite. Your typical American (again, only in my experience) wants you to feel comfortable so they engage in small-talk and niceties. So much more so than Europeans that I find it hard to believe it's only a matter of sample size.
