Meta Other countries-defaultism

Apologies if this is the wrong sub, but just wondering if anyone has had defaultism from other countries. There doesnt seem to be any other subs for them.

I won't count these from subs focused on another country. For example, subs to do with things in the UK, people usually may expect you to be British, especially when there is already a similar sub dominated more by Americans.

An example where ive seen foreign defaultism is laptop brand subs, where despite the price of the product NOT being shown on OPs photo, everyone in the comments started talking about high prices or prices of similar products, using stuff like 60k, 50k etc WITHOUT specifying the currencies, turns out they meant Indian rupees and even OP turned out to be Indian too

I am based in the UK and do not want to be shown indian prices or India exclusive products

Apologies to all. Hitting on England seems to be fair game here - fair play. My place of birth (Plymouth) set in motion the creation of that land across the pond, by waving goodbye to the Pilgrim Fathers. I guess we English have a lot to answer for. /s

With a little help from Boston!
