UK, Ireland / Why are Polish people, especially women, so disrespectful toward the English? [437]
Polish people are quite emotional. At the same time, they are concerned with how people perceive them. People will argue in shops, various offices etc (eg: they may yell at a clerk at the post office and she is likely to yell back). People cry at funerals, weddings, and religious events and at the movies. Men are expected to stay calmer than women and be "strong" but women are expected to be more reserved and not show emotions, especially if they are directed towards the opposite sex. Again, these are only the rules and they are constantly broken. As a foreigner though, you won't be really expected to know all them.
