european stereotypes

As a french, I'm sick about pretty blond girls that ask about everything because they are blond girls... Yes you're beautiful, no it's not a pass you can use anytime.

yeah but, like, would you share your joint with anyone? In my culture, if you're with friends, you puff and pass. But i don't think that applies to strangers walking up and asking you for a hit.
- As a Frenchman who's really into live music I would, and I do! Yeah I know, COVID and shit but in the middle of a festival, having a blast and surrounded by like-minded people, if you ask nicely and I have some to spare I'll give you a joint without thinking twice!
- Had one last pull a stranger walked up at a Rave wanting some so i blew down bis throat set and setting are important
- And friends are a maybe, like I’m more likely to just pull another out of my pocket for someone I’d call a friend and just say fuckit here have a full one bud.
- In Kentucky the stoner culture is that you don't light up, unless you have enough to share. That's the attitude I keep, so yeah, if a random stranger asks me for a hit, I'll probably just give them the rest and roll a new one.
  I live in California now, but I started weed in KY

Tiny bit of backstory: I work in Spain so there's a lot of kissing on the chicks when greeting someone. Spanish people kiss twice, in western countries people kiss 3 times so sometimes there's a bit of confusion. Anyway, once a girl from Romania met a French co-worker next to my desk. Typical greeting and she says:

How do French people kiss?

The guy got a little bit confused and says:

Trust me, you don't want me to show you how the French kiss...

Not really related but I found it extremely funny.

chicks
cheeks I hope?
- Haha true
- It depends on how well you know the chicks.
We in Chile we kiss only once. Right side of the face. The fist time I greeted a spanish woman I was confused as hell.
This could be used as a pickup line or something lol
In France, they kiss between one and four times depending on the region, it's infuriating. I've just decided to not kiss any more. It's a stupid tradition, and it's a great way to catch colds anyway.
- Of course not, it's a cultural means of sharing germs that quite literally saves everybody by helping share in the herd immunity.
- Come to the UK, we don't do any of that shit here. In Yorkshire we just nod and say "Alreight?" or "How do?" and that's it, job done.
Somehow it's always the romanians

Every single European stereotype is true.

Sounds like something a fat stupid American would say.
- I see what you did there, but fyi I'm from middle Europe
- fat stupid American
  AKA an American.
- how many layers deep is this? the stereotypical european would say something like that. Or is that the joke and I'm just too simple to understand?
especially as you go more and more to the east
No, most Lithuanians are not gangsters or hookers, we just exported those abroad.
This gets bad quickly

My brain changed the second word to Rammstein.
I'm just imagining Germans running around shouting "Du" at each other.
- Do
  Do hats
  Do hats fit

  They do. His name is Zog!
  I've been going to the store
  How many hats should I buy for him?
  Ahhhhhh, NINE!
  Ahhhhhh, NINE!

What he was trying to politely say is “I’m not sharing my joint with vous”

fuck why can't i live in europe. almost every day i have the opposite experience where a well meaning midwest person tries to be friendly and my brain just...stalls and does something like this

Which stereotype refuses punctuation?

Same stereotype which has a bad school system.
Punctuation doesn't grow on trees!
(I realise that would have worked better without the exclamation mark)

Every middle-aged German man is named Thomas. No exceptions.

Lol, the French one is true and I had no idea

They're almost an equivalent price now, thanks to taxes on cigarettes.

Was gonna say, I don't smoke but I was in upstate NY and a guy gave me a $20 to grab him a pack of smokes from a corner store while I was running in to grab a snack, and I thing I got like $1 and change back. I was appalled.
- Yup. Gotta say though, it works. I've backed down from impulse buying a pack on several occasions because I didn't want to drop $20 for 30s of satisfaction
- Can people be banned from buying cigarettes?
My cigarettes cost me $0.04.21 each, but when I smoked I rolled my own with a Top-O-Matic. An entire month worth of smokes still would only cost me $42.
- only $42 / month
  jesus christ as if i needed even more reason not to be addicted to nicotine
- $0.04.21? But at 1:05.21, how much more expensive would they be?
  What's the inflation like in your location?

Any about Romanians?

stealing
- fuck you, I’ve never had anything stolen in Romania
- romania (and the rest of eastern europe) have almost non-existent theft rates compared to literally all of western/northern europe, except for spain and portugal because everyone in those two are poor so there's nothing to steal anyways
  generally the more prosperous/capitalist the people in a country are the higher the rates of stealing are. this says a lot about our society
Blasting music in public, especially the genre called "manele"
- Romania just out there pretending to be Latin America.
To understand Romanian culture, first you must understand şmecherie (more an in-joke than a stereotype, but whatever, I stand by it).
- Adevărat
Magyar ?

Hit me with some polish ones, i want to know

Once at a railway station in Krakow some polish guy asked me if I would like to cum in his mouth.
- Did you?
- Not my experience though i think i do remember hearing rumors or memes about something similar few years ago.
Mfs talmbout not needing unions, and then turning around and getting the worst work conditions and ending up in a perpetual state of "this is fine".
- Real. solidarność is not even an yellow union, it's anti-union. During 15 years after its victory Poland was deindustrialized, deunionized and had its already flimsy labour law not even applicable for 50% of jobs. solidarność still exist as the biggest "union" and mostly does things like supporting PiS, doing all possible manner of church servilism and sabotaging other unions.
I don't know any Polish stereotypes, but I do know a Polish joke.
Why does The New Polish Navy have glass bottomed ships?
::>!So you can see The Old Polish Navy!<::
- Wow, so original and new! Did you learn that on the playground... in the early 1970s?
- That's not true. Poland don't have any new ships.
  Well one patrol boat but we build it something around 19 years so i doubt it count as "new".
I once was hiking in the Tatras and upon reaching a part that was more difficult, heaved a sigh and said "Pizdec". Everybody laughed, even people from further away.
- Well depend on which side you were, in Czech it means iirc "fuck", in Polish we have related word "piździec", usually used in "ale piździec" or "ale piździ" which means roughly "it's windy as fuck here" - pretty relevant in Tatras.
Stealing cars
- That was stereotype, also now we have cities where there are 2+ cars per capita.

Respond, yes they are the same price. This place doesn't sell cigarettes, I will sell you at same price as beer.

I would totally see myself doing that. You do me a favor I‘ll do you one. Simple as.

Sometimes true but not always. I've had coworkers from the UK all the way to the middle east who were always happy to buy drinks and were more generous, I suspect many from across the commonwealth, and greco roman world tend to take gifts of food more fairly.

Much of China having gone through multiple famines tends to have a different food culture though which probably makes people come off rude to each other

Yes, because no other country experiences famine
- Why did you make up a reason to be offended?
  Nobody said no other country experience it, so calm down.
  You seem otherwise cool so I'm just gonna wish you the best of luck with your pregnancy and happy weekend!

With the French guy on this. Weed is expensive even when legal, and if it's not, you really don't want to share it with any rando because you can get pegged for distribution.

Americans are so dumb they think “Europeans” are a thing. It’s a continent. 50 countries with 50 different cultures.

Is the European Union not a thing anymore? Does being a part of that not make you European? What does European mean if not for people who live in Europe?
To be fair America has 50 different states and a lot of them have totally different cultures. Texas compared to new york for example. Would that not make your statement equally as dumb?
- Also lots of US states are bigger than European countries lul.
and europeans are so dumb they think "americans" are a thing. its a country, with states sometimes bigger than most of europes countries
US people: 50 countries of white people! that's not diversity!
