Life / Things that annoy you in Poland. [114]

Me personally I dislike the attitude of some people, everyone is very self-reliant and would rather not have any contact with anyone if they dont know them.

I sometimes wonder how friendships here come into place since nobody talks to strangers.

Another thing that pushes my button is the bureaucracy and all the papers and stamps u need for everything, to get form 2, u need form 1 with a stamp, but dont forget to take a copy, because when u request form 3 u need to present form 1 and 2 while u had to hand in form 1 to get form 2... If the rainforest ever dissapears, I will blame Poland for it!

Another thing that annoys me is the condition of the road, the lack of highways (100km here takes u 2 hours by car).

The knowledge of English by native people sometimes upsets me too, but I understand that, since I am in their country, I should adapt to them, but its kinda hard for example at the city hall when there is nobody that speaks English and u dont understand sh*t from the forms u have to fill out.

There are many more things I could say but I think I will stick to this for now :-)

I found it very amasing to see this in a country which they always call themselves one of the most educated in Europe.

LOL!

Nice one...

UK, Ireland / Warning to British people visiting Poland!! Don't get drunk and smash the place up! [447]

I am a foreigner living in Dublin now, but lived in Krakow for two years.
All I noticed is exactly that stereotype: drunken Brits acting like fools boozing up at a low price.
Some clubs do have a sign not allowing Brits, and I can not give them any more right than to do so.
If you wanna act like a swine, show disrespect to the country and do whatever the fck u want, then stay home and go out in Manchester for a night, they'll set ya right straight!
