Work / Salary expectations in Poland [373]

lol some of the posts here are hillarious. Ive just read a Polish guy that wrote 6719PLN after tax every month is 'peanuts' !!! What a clown. My girlfriend is Polish and lives in krakow which is pretty expensive compared to other areas in Poland. Ive lived in krakow for a while and plan on returning again soon teaching. The average salary in poland is about 2000PLN a month and people seem to get by. I have met people working in village shops working for 1300PLN a month (minimum salary is about 1,126 PLN) but I would imagine living on that would be very tight. For someone to receive 6719 PLN a month would be considered a good salary and I would imagine it would be on a par with what a dentist for example might expect. Some of the posts here regarding salaries are pretty funny, so take most of them with a pinch of salt

UK, Ireland / Hand washing at public toilets in the UK [75]


Gosh I wouldnt wash my hands in a public toilet anywhere if you paid me to, its very dangerous, any dr will tell you that :| Have you any idea how many germs and how unhealthy public toilet taps are ? I may sound like I have a case of OCD but I dont, its just logical and what I have always been told. I just carry sanitary wipes with me. By the way, you do know that when you then dry your hands under the dryer that you are blowing recycled air and bacteria from other peoples poo etc onto your hands again . . its not filtered :| So trust me, its safer to do what you have to do, and not wash or dry your hands in a public toilet. Just use those nice smelling wipes you can buy, easy !

UK, Ireland / Hand washing at public toilets in the UK [75]


Not at all, most of my friends, family and almost everyone I know are the same. You would have to be pretty dumb to wash or dry your hands in a public toilet. Basic common sense and hygeine. . . . unless your the type that washes your ass with your hands ? I suspect you are so in that case, go for it :)


Your right, its so good to meet intelligent people like you on forums Sledz :) The next time you are in a public toilet put your dumb head under the dryer and deeply inhale the bacteria from other peoples poo and sh*t ok ? That way you can excuse yourself and why you talk so much idiotic sh*t ;)

um 'hahahahaha'

This is a thread about handwashing not insulting people.

UK, Ireland / Hand washing at public toilets in the UK [75]


Good point, I was'nt insuting the chap though :) Ok, well maybe I shouldnt have said 'dumb head'

"I`m not the the freak germophob on here now am I..??"

Hm, ok so by your measurement I am a freak because I have a shi* and a pis*, and wipe my hands with a sanitary wipe (precious and a luxury in your world I guess) But you arent a freak because you then want to inhale my shi* and pis* after me lol ok little man

"So what do you do if you ever go out in public and dont have your precious sanitary napkins???"

I rarely take a dump in a public toilet, and if i do its usually only in airports. I think I mentioned using them when Im in a public toilet, not going out in public ;) How old are you by the way ?

A germophob lol ? nah, i would gladly **** all over you and not wipe my hands :D...although you would probably enjoy that :|

UK, Ireland / Hand washing at public toilets in the UK [75]



I pis* against walls also occassionaly, so Im more or less comparing you to concrete. lol Ive just seen from your profile that you are American and you posted a thread titled "Do Polish People Steal More" ..... need I say more, what a toss**

"First of all I dont shi and piz on my hands, maybe someday you will be able to
accomplish this with practice?"

You talk like somebody that does, but then again I suspect you have the brain of a bluebottle fly . . they eat their own shi* also.

"OK Big Man,I dont blame you for not wanting to be in a English toilet
but to go to such extremes and to be so defensive is hysterical..lol"

Im bigger than you ;) I dont use any public toilets, why do you mention english toilets ? Not that I avoid public toilets, but I generally shi* before I leave the house if I have to. Unless Im in a pub and Im pis*ed (no pun intended) then I wash my hands and use the dryer just like dopes like you do. Im not being defensive, you just seem to be simple

Oh and nope, very hetrosexual with a beautiful polish gf. Although if you have a thing about gay people, and think me pi**ing on you is gay, perhaps you know more about it than I. I was merely demonstrating how low my oppinion of you is.

UK, Ireland / Hand washing at public toilets in the UK [75]


Smells like shi* where, In Poland ?

English lesson : I think you will find that defecating = shi**ing, pis*ing = urinating. I said I urinated occassionaly against walls, that would be 'urinating' and its usually very late at night when inebriated. Your parents obviously didnt invest much in your education judging by your grasp of the english language. Then again they also taught you that putting your head under public hand dryers and inhaling other peoples shi* and pis* was cool. They say the apple doesnt fall far from the tree, thats what you get with parents that conceive in public toilets I guess !


I suspect a lot older than you. then again your i.q doesnt seem to surpass double digits so Im going to go for you being a 17 / 18 yr old kid.


You did'nt seem funny. Although you did laugh hysterically at yourself, so that is usually the first sign of a simple mind, and also someone very insecure I might add ;)

UK, Ireland / Hand washing at public toilets in the UK [75]


Ive seen the same with Polish construction workers on sites working in Ireland, on many occassions. Ive also observed the same on numerous occassions in Poland, did'nt shock me. I dont wash my hands or dry them in public loos because its probably the worst thing you can do. Not only are the taps full of all sorts of germs, but the dryer blows out unflltered air full of pis* and shi* bacteria lol

UK, Ireland / Hand washing at public toilets in the UK [75]

No, an immune system ? . . . whats that :) .....Ill take my chances and allow my immune system to strengthen and defend itself naturally against everyday bacteria etc . . . Only in toilets will I continue to refrain from using the hand dryer to blow other peoples sh*t over my hands, or rub it from the taps all over my hands which defeats the purpose of washing my hands in the first place ;)

Work / Salary expectations in Poland [373]


Absolute nonsense. My girlfriends friend is a doctor practising on one of the larger hospitals in Krakow, he gets nowhere near 700 zl for one 'simple nights duty' You are delusional. Total crap !! He is even considering moving to Ireland as his salary is so bad.


Nonsense, the majority of Poles dont earn anyhting close to that amount. It is this insecurity that some Poles exhibit and the fear of being considered 'poor' which is so silly, and frustrating for foreigners wishing to get an accurate desription of salaries and living expenses etc in Poland.

Love / Are 98% of young Polish girls emotionally unstable and mood changing? [191]


Your questions are ridiculous, you seem ridiculous, if you ask a stupid questions expect a stupid answer. If someone like you came anywhere near any Polish (or Irish) girl I know, they would either fall around laughing at you, or throw their cup of tea over you (assuming they dont drink alcohol in clubs)

What is hillarious is that you keep count of how many you kiss, and even more hillarious that although you seem to think your Gods gift to women, you cant get a shag :D You come across as an AliG type.

To be honest I think your just one of the regulars taking the piss and its a wind up.

If its not a wind up, I wish you luck in life and with the ladies.....I think you will need it lol

Food / Bigos Recipe [151]

My gfs dad tols me that lamb isnt so popular in Poland now because it was once the food of peasants, so I guess thats still the mentality. Strange for me because in Ireland lamb and beef would be everybodys preference. Having said that I love my simple Irish lamb stew, but bigos is a close second...love it !!! Especially how my gfs mother cooks it, she told me it gets better each day its left in the pot and I have to say thats true . . . delicious !

Edit : I couldnt believe what most state teachers in Poland get until my gfs friend told me recently. Compared to teachers in Ireland its awful, and Irish teachers are still complaining regardless of them being the best paid in Europe. Much wants more

Indeed, it had to burst and for the sake of future generations Im glad it did . . although they will be paying a heavy price for our greed and idiocity.

Its still a good salary relatively speaking, certainly more than what I earn. Although I am hoping to rent out an appartment back in Ireland soon which should see me a lot more comfortable....well at least until the currency rate changes for the worst :)

Very true, couldnt agree more but if they are very well paid for their contribution to society . . that should suffice.


We were the poorest of the poor for many centuries, then suddenly we are rich for 10 years. Throwing all that money our way was like throwing altar boys at an Irish bishop. It will be a very painful learning curve, but one that may protect our children and grand children from living on debt and credit. Im hopeful we will return to the days when if we wanted something we worked hard and saved for it . . . the days of easy credit are well dead, everywhere. The Poles are similar to us in many ways, and I see that materialisim and credit culture growing there more and more. Ireland part 2

Work / Cost of Living, Average Salaries and Job sites in Poland [263]

From my experience of Poland thats about right Qw. Like every country there are those lucky to earn a lot more than the average but they are in the minority. Judging by the circles I move in, the salaries range from minimum (A friend who works in a supermarket) to a lawyer in Krakow earning close to 5000. Of course its possible to find those who earn more but as I said they would be in the minority and certianly not an accurate reflection of salaries in Poland. Thank you for the post Qw, very accurate and informative for anyone wishing to move to Poland.

By the ay, when you say 'bad love' do you mean prostitutes ? Those prices would seem excessive but then again I wouldnt know lol

Life / 3 reasons why you hate Poland. [1049]

Personally I would have thought the opposite. I had carpets for years back home in Ireland and all they did was catch dust and dirt, now I have wooden floors everywhere . . . clean, easy to clean, look great. Wooden floors are more popular than carpet everywhere in Europe, not just in Poland. They are just more practical

Life / 3 reasons why you hate Poland. [1049]


Absolutely, I certainly hope I never go into a hospital with carpet everywhere, can you imagine all the vomit and congulated blood stuck to it .... Yuck !


Yeah all my Polish buddies have either wooden or laminate, laminate are probably better because they dont scratch or chip as much

Life / 3 reasons why you hate Poland. [1049]


I have found the opposite to be honest. I have solid wooden floors back home in Ireland in living room and dining room and they are destroyed from scratches and chips from stones on peoples shoes etc (the no shoes in the house cutom hasnt caught on in Ireland yet hehe) I have a good walnut style laminate everywhere else and the floors are perfect, even in the hallway etc where there is a lot of 'trraffic'. I guess the old style wooden floorboards might have better wear and tear than the new ones because they dont have a veneer. The parquet style one is what my gfs parents have all over the house, looks as good now as it probably did 20 yrs ago, we dont have those in Ireland :( All in all from a personal perspective I dont think solid or semi solid wooden floors are worth the money, the laminate is cheaper, looks the same and in my experience wears better. This thread is about three reasons why I hate Poland so I better write I HATE POLAND BECAUSE THERE ARENT ENOUGH WOODEN FLOORS, LAMINATE FLOORS, AND THEY STILL SELL CARPET IN LEROY MERLINS :D Now that should keep them happy
