Life / Why are Poles always so miserable? Why do they never smile? [512]
Same here,love the country,hate the polish mentality,it doesn't really cost that much to smile once in a while,say hello to your neighbor,not to mention some people are just plain rude.Is it so hard to say thank you while someone holds the door for you,or I'm sorry if you bump into somebody,the constant complaining and distrust get on my nervers the most.I'm not living in Poland but visit quite often and that's the main thing that bother me the most about polish society.My hubby always jokes that polish people have"stone faces",but he agrees once they get to know you they're very friendly.Could it be "post communist mentality",something in our DNA,our tragic history,who knows,I'll hope it will change for the better with the younger generation.
