Tiny bit of backstory: I work in Spain so there’s a lot of kissing on the chicks when greeting someone. Spanish people kiss twice, in western countries people kiss 3 times so sometimes there’s a bit of confusion. Anyway, once a girl from Romania met a French co-worker next to my desk. Typical greeting and she says:
- How do French people kiss?
The guy got a little bit confused and says:
- Trust me, you don’t want me to show you how the French kiss…
Not really related but I found it extremely funny.
chicks
cheeks I hope?
Haha true
Which ones?
Spread them cheeks, kiss incoming!
What?
All of them ;)
We in Chile we kiss only once. Right side of the face. The fist time I greeted a spanish woman I was confused as hell.
Somehow it’s always the romanians
I’m french and the only 3-time country I know is Switzerland
What he was trying to politely say is “I’m not sharing my joint with vous”

They’re almost an equivalent price now, thanks to taxes on cigarettes.
Every single European stereotype is true.
Sounds like something a fat stupid American would say.
It’s almost as if stereotypes are based on some truths… 😅
Oh boy, you do not want to say that
Every middle-aged German man is named Thomas. No exceptions.
I would totally see myself doing that. You do me a favor I‘ll do you one. Simple as.
Any about Romanians?
stealing
fuck you, I’ve never had anything stolen in Romania
Me neither. Not by Romanians, anyway.
Magyar ?
With the French guy on this. Weed is expensive even when legal, and if it’s not, you really don’t want to share it with any rando because you can get pegged for distribution.
Hit me with some polish ones, i want to know
I don’t know any Polish stereotypes, but I do know a Polish joke.
Why does The New Polish Navy have glass bottomed ships?
::>!So you can see The Old Polish Navy!<::
Once at a railway station in Krakow some polish guy asked me if I would like to cum in his mouth.
Mfs talmbout not needing unions, and then turning around and getting the worst work conditions and ending up in a perpetual state of “this is fine”.
Real. solidarność is not even an yellow union, it’s anti-union. During 15 years after its victory Poland was deindustrialized, deunionized and had its already flimsy labour law not even applicable for 50% of jobs. solidarność still exist as the biggest “union” and mostly does things like supporting PiS, doing all possible manner of church servilism and sabotaging other unions.
Stealing cars
That was stereotype, also now we have cities where there are 2+ cars per capita.
Because so many were stolen?
Nah, partially because we were buying all the German crashed cars for years, but mostly because Poles after 1989 eaten up the car culture especially the part of car being status symbol.
I once was hiking in the Tatras and upon reaching a part that was more difficult, heaved a sigh and said “Pizdec”. Everybody laughed, even people from further away.
Well depend on which side you were, in Czech it means iirc “fuck”, in Polish we have related word “piździec”, usually used in “ale piździec” or “ale piździ” which means roughly “it’s windy as fuck here” - pretty relevant in Tatras.

Sometimes true but not always. I’ve had coworkers from the UK all the way to the middle east who were always happy to buy drinks and were more generous, I suspect many from across the commonwealth, and greco roman world tend to take gifts of food more fairly.
Much of China having gone through multiple famines tends to have a different food culture though which probably makes people come off rude to each other
Yes, because no other country experiences famine
Why did you make up a reason to be offended?
Nobody said no other country experience it, so calm down.You seem otherwise cool so I’m just gonna wish you the best of luck with your pregnancy and happy weekend!
fuck why can’t i live in europe. almost every day i have the opposite experience where a well meaning midwest person tries to be friendly and my brain just…stalls and does something like this
come to berlin nobody here is friendly
Have they finally rebuilt the city since the war?
