One of the things that irks me is that American women wear jeans/pants all the goddam time. It's gotten to the point that when I go to the store, and she's trying on jeans/pants and I get asked the inevitable "do you like this" and "does this make me look..." I always reply "No I don't like this", and "yes, this makes you look very..."
It's had two benefits. She buys more dresses/skirts, and I get asked to go shopping less frequently.
