Do you think that Polish people are rude? [951]
Czesc
Some Polish people do not apologize for everything in the trams and on the streets, and yes we don't use "przepraszam" to much for strangers, as person who apologies may be seen as weak man to there people. We have been brought up in different political and economical circumstances than western and other nation. Endless wars, the occupation and political and economical crisis brought a lot of fear, distrust and aggression into the polish society. . Everything changes when you get know people a bit closer, when they start to trust you and respect you. In Poland nobody pretends that he/her likes or respect you if he/her doesn't like you or respect you, so you can quickly recognize who is your friend and who is not. You can't see to many fake smiles here.
