Hating America’s Phone Code Swagger ‘Cause They Ain’t Us – Twitchy

Molly Cantillon formerly from Stanford and now working for a texting company, is really unhappy with the United States for taking the +1 Country Code. 

nothing screams I am the main character more than America having the +1 phone code

They called dibs when invented it

As they should.

Nothing screams I’m pig ignorant more than some lackwit not knowing an American invented the telephone.

What are YOU capable of making or doing that will make you the main character one day, hmm?

Worry about that, Molly!

Plus we took all the zip codes. England was forced to use letters. Canada is stuck with emojis and scratch and sniff stickers.

If the world was a just place, that’s how it should be. We beat England, after all and we allow Canada to exist. 

Yeah, and VINs that start with 1 are cars assembled in the USA. 2 is Canada, J is Japan, 3 is Mexico, K is South Korea, among others.

You get “privileges” (such that they are) like this when you invent everything and the world revolves around you. Which we did, and it does

Period. Sorry you hate American Exceptionalism. 

even better is that only the us government can use .gov, only the us military can use .mil, and only us institutions can use .edu

Again, when the world revolves around you type of stuff. 

We ARE the main character in the world, that’s why every 3rd world sh!thole character wants to move here. Feeling guilty about it? Move to said 3rd world sh!thole and dial +1 when you feel homesick.

May be because phone was invented by an American pic.twitter.com/JLuXQUIqa5

Benefits of being the creator.

We let the Canadians use it, too, and a bunch of other North American island nations. pic.twitter.com/PCdMZPDjz4

That’s very kind of us.

Well, the guy and company who invented the phone and did the first Int call was American and the company was based in America, so.

We are the main character.

Literally.

Other countries shouldn’t be able to use the internet or phones. Ridiculous we allow this.

— John Wolf (@ICBMinvestments) August 18, 2025

We are entirely too benevolent.

What a weird way to get clicks. I bet nobody even gave it a thought before you exposed yourself as a low self esteem attention seeker trying to get a date.

It’s pick me behavior. 

Canada does get to share +1 with us. But maybe that’s a precursor for annexation.

— Marc Joffe (@joffemd) August 18, 2025

We’re easing them into it.

But… the US is the main character, the inventor of the telephone having been an American. Ditto for the internet as I see some petty nitwit is complaining about .gov, .mil. and .edu.

Will you complain next about .us? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

They hate us because they ain’t us.
