Dammit, I had a feeling it was too good to be true, but you know, you can never really tell with Americans. Well, I edited the post now.
If it makes you feel any better: my mum works for postal services in Austria and they have a stamp thingy that says something like ‘missent to Austria, send to Australia’
“You can never tell with Americans”?
What does that even mean lmao. Do people outside of the US not make jokes or lie?
No, I meant it more like that English is basically the only language in which Austria and Australia might be confused, and that the US is practically the only English-speaking place that is far enough from both of these places to be able to confuse them so badly as to go to the wrong one. And, you know, there is this stereotype that Americans are terrible at world geography.
edit: typo
Stereotypes are ok when it’s americans, poles or gypsies in Europe.

Probably could have figured it out if you used more information then jingoist stereotypes.
But it’s the stupid american’s fault he’s a gullible idiot
I’m sorry, I really did not put that much thought into the post. But you do realise there certainly are examples of Americans who are not all too familiar with the geography of the rest of the world, and additionally, I actually know of a person who accidentally flew to Rome in the wrong country.
