Why are Poles always so miserable? Why do they never smile? [512]
Wouldnt say Polish people were miserable, they are just serious. Besides as PolskaDoll said, why would you be walking around smiling when youre by yourself? Youd look like a nutter! British people force their smiles often, i know quite a few of them and its hillarious when their smile disappears from their faces almost as soon as it appeared, its so fake! You can see their lips form a smile and then in a matter of seconds they look all miserable again. It is true that a regular shop assistant in Poland will not smile at you, some of them dont even look at you. They must hate their jobs. Costumer service is much more friendly and relaxed, an probably more helpful in UK, than it is in Poland. Hate the ladies in the counters at the train or bus stations, they are right grumpy cows! Some shop assisntants will smile if youre in a perfume or jewlery shop and youre about to spend a lot of money ha ha... In general, people in Poland tend to look serious and maybe arent as chirpy as the British folk. But then you should realise that they might have more worries than people in UK.
