Everything this guy says I feel about Poland [69]
but it's basic manners and common courtesy to 'salute' as we say in Ireland,
That`s good, it means that the English managed to teach the Irish basic manners or even royal courtesy during the time they controlled Ireland. :)
Fortunately, I live in Poland, not Ireland, and I am not obliged to respond to morons who have nothing else to do than bother people by saying their stupid hello to strangers on the beach. :)
Besides, I was born and raised in southern Poland which once was the Austrian partition. Did you read anything in the thread Heritage of partitions in today`s Poland? Austrians can be very antisocial and so am I. I just follow certain patterns imprinted during 123 years, so don`t blame me. :):)
Another thing. How should I know what they want? Despite age, I am still attractive to people of both sexes, so I am constantly approached and tested if I am ready for a more intimate relationship, by males, females and mixes. In the past it used to be funny but I have been fed up with that for more than a dozen years.
we're not talking about trying to engage anybody in conversation,
YOU say so, but my experience is different. When I sometimes respond to hello, they always go on and a series of questions and comments follow.
We are having wonderful weather, aren`t we? Where do you come from? Really? It is a beautiful city, I went there on a school trip decades ago. And what do you do for a living? Oh , I see, it must be a stressful job to teach those rascals today. So you probably don`t earn too much? Quite the opposite? Darling, you are the man of my life! I want to have a baby with you!It always starts with silly hello and then you end up with 5 kids - your own if you meet a female or adopted if a male.
Thank you very much. I prefer to be antisocial on the beach.
