An American mocked the British for having ‘laws keeping people from fully opening their windows’ and got owned into next year – 17 transatlantic clapbacks
Texan anti-vaxxer Alyse became the main character on Twitter for a full-throated attack against what she thought was a British law.
We’re not entirely sure what made her offer up this hot take, but here it is.
Community Notes added some much-needed context.
Curse that dreaded opposition to people falling to a squishy death in the street for curtailing our freedoms!
Tweeters added her to the ‘Americans being mocked for believing everything they hear about the UK’ club. Quite the honour.

Thank you for highlighting this draconian law.
I'm currently in prison serving a 194 year sentence for opening a window on a bus.
Help me Maga, you're my only hope.

We also don’t have water or oxygen. We have to buy little bags of air to breathe twice a week. Badgers bring it to us and we pay them with prayer and little stones we find in the street

That’s not the worst of it. I did 4 years in the Scrubs for having a full English breakfast for lunch.

This is one of the weirdest conspiracy theories I’ve encountered on this increasingly bonkers website. https://t.co/sM6GwRYz5v

This is illegal in America because the government thinks you're so stupid that you'll eat the toy.
We have safety regulations that prevent you from falling to your death in high-rise apartments, hotels, office buildings etc.
I think you should keep quiet on this one. pic.twitter.com/3DghSWSBoJ— dAve Fletcher 🦉 (@_dAveFletcher_) May 28, 2026

You do know that Texas has very similar building codes restricting window openings in high rise buildings?
