15. I hate many american sitcoms for that reason.It bothers me. Not as much as you apparently. However for some weird reason I can cope with The Brittas Empire which is probably worse. Maybe because it's just SO over the top it goes over my radar. There's lots of other britcoms you could watch or something that DONT end up with people having huge social misunderstandings etc. Lots of them are very funny but don't have that whole attitude.
