Rudeness of polish people when they are drunk

I have been living in poland for nearly 3 years. One thing that i am noticing recently is the rudeness of some polish people when they are drunk. Last night i had a girl bump into me and spill drink over me. I asked her politely to be careful. She thought it was hilarious that i would be annoyed at drink being spilt over me. She then purposely spilt drink over me and when i was not looking spilt drink over my coat. It was unbelieveable. Also, on numerous other occasions, drunk people have bumped into me and then dont have the decency to apologise. I know not all polish are like this but there is a considerable number who are.

Sorry for the rant but i just cannot understand this ignorance.

I don't believe that it has anything to do with alcohol. Nice people stay nice even if they're very drunk. Being drunk is not a justification for such behaviour.

I think you should change the environment.

Yeah I'm with Switezianka, you need to change where you drink. Obviously they don't mind people there who drink until they fall down. Drinks get spilled by accident but when it's done deliberately then you know that person has a nasty streak in them. If the girl had been a nice person she would have apologised and you'd not have seen her the rest of the night.

read what people post here after a few drinks...haha..

Mary had a little lamb
It's fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go (hic)

It's part of the modern age in Poland. More pubs and clubs than ever before with the addition of more money in people's pockets.

You are bound to bump into some clown every once in a while. Or rather some clown is..........
Bad news, if it was your local. However, I can't see it happening every time you go out. Treat it as a one off.

The problem is when the boorish types come out to drink. There's rudeness everywhere when people get totalled. In Scotland, it's pretty bad. I rarely got tanked up because I knew that I may face a fight on my way home. Even in peaceful countries like Japan, I heard inflammatory comments and had to pretend that I didn't understand.

In Poland, you get those who go out to fight and you may have bumped into them, in more ways than one. I have seen a fair bit of selfishness here, people not giving a Castlemaine XXXX but it's much worse in England I've heard. Proper nobs there

maybe they were too drunk to notice they bumped into someone? sometimes they just stumble out from a bar stomping on peoples feet, pushing and spilling their drinks and never saying sorry, but i would never expect them to apologise cos they were DRUNK and didn't do it on purpose. if they do it on purpose then they are idiots and they should be ignored or if it really bothers you, go see the bouncer about it. there are people like that everywhere and you kinda have to get used to it im afraid.

Some people just can't handle their drink.


Very good point.
There is a very small bar on Rynek glowna main market square in Krakow, that was the only bar open during communism, there was no need to advertise as every body knew where it was but only "rich" people would drink there. It has the statue of the poet, who looks like he is waiting for someone outside it.

Here's a photo I found of it.

I think we have all met Jekyll and Hyde personalities on drink from every country, people who get incredibly obnoxious on booze.

I have woken up with regrets and a killer hangover.

I've never met anyone who'd be obnoxious on the booze without having such tendencies sober.
Whenever I drink with people I like, they just become silly, cheerful and playful.

it depends on the person, some people change a lot after they had a few drins, or maybe thats just their true persona coming out, i dunno. but it is not a rule that someone who is nice when they are sober will be nice or even nicer when they're drunk.

I know when I get drunk I start buying people drinks and telling them I love them.

Never been much of a drunken fighty type.

When you say "girl," what age do you mean?


Not all of 'em, in my experience.


I think the key phrase here is "people I like" - it implies a closed circuit of friends in the environment. Out in the bars all bets are off as to the types of people you'll encounter. As JustysiaS says...



Not all people of any nationality are like this - but some in all are likely to be. When you drink IN public, you drink WITH the public.

I'd like to get you drunk.

that would be the only time i would ever even glance at slime like you. i suppose you only target drunk girls with that charm and wit of yours.

I've known my current bf for 2 years and I have never seen him drunk. I, on the other hand, have passed out on the bathroom floor in front of him. But I don't get rude though, I just get really woozy. But anyway, he refuses to get drunk around me. He says he becomes a different person. I asked him what he meant by that and all he said was, "I'm happy guy." So he's obviously hiding something. He's probably so happy he doesn't give a f#&% about anybody anymore and is rude as hell. :( And he doesn't want me to see him that way. Fair enough...

However, his buddy Maciej got drunk one night. He took a blunt object and beat the hell out of my bf's car. Broke three windows, cracked another window and put several dents all over it. Of course they are still friends. It must be a guy thing.

The truth comes out when you are drunk!!

And if you are drunk enough, so does the drink.

You've found him, Poland's teetotaller ;)

A sure sign that alcohol is not for you... ;)

Banging into people when you're drunk isn't really a sign of rudeness I guess, more a sign of "tipsyness" but pouring drinks over peoples belongings is just bad manners whether the person is drunk or not. Being drunk is not an excuse for bad behaviour.

When I drink I sometimes get the giggles. :)

i spill drinks and grin like a muppet ha ha...

I grin like a muppet, spill some drinks, then go back to grinning like a muppet :)

deer vndunne !
They are rude for the West and the East ! They simply rude... They are rough to themselves

go to polandian.wordpress.com/2008/03/21/myth-1-polish-people-are-rude/
1. Polish people in shops, businesses, and government departments often appear rude to foreigners visiting Poland (not to mention to other Polish people).

2. Polish people are extremely polite and hospitable in private social situations.

3. Polish people sometimes are, in fact, extremely rude because they like being extremely rude.

yes i enjoy it very much, especially being rude to prejudiced, stubborn and narrow minded ruskis :)

[quote=] Rudeness is an art form in Poland. Polish people take great, but secret, delight in the devastating insult or social slight.

This is a very unimaginative text.

aaaww... Plywood needs a group hug (Polish people only!)

I shall add

The north and the south do not exist....
On top of Poland the sea, and in the bottom of Poland the gipsy...

The People who know Poland apparently, LOL

Some don't need to be drunk to be rude though, in any country. My fiancee was working today and she told a guy not to take the last catalogue. New clients came along and she was taken up by them. What did the guy do? Sneekily removed it and hopped it, bellend.

I know each Pole up to bones
No Pole will surprise me
