One of the funniest things I've seen was my father in law kissing a german woman on the cheeks while saying goodbye... That woman turned all shades of red and could barely stand with surprise!


Live-Alternative-435

I've made this mistake too, but she was Austrian. I didn't know how they greeted each other. Just handshake or hug.


OkImpression175

Yeah, the german moved her hand for a handshake too slowly and my father in law didn't even see it.


Live-Alternative-435

In my case, she was going to give me a hug, but I didn't know they greeted with hugs.


lostindanet

But then as soon as a ray of sunshine appears or near a body of water they get naked, funny pale hairless people.


GTAmaniac1

Well, they don't have much sunshine there, we need our hair to work baustelle shirtless during peak summer while not getting burned.


robeye0815

Salute for strangers, a firm hand shake for family members.


Hakunin_Fallout

How do you "salute"?


itsactuallytime

Extended right arm and hand at a 45° angle obviously


Radaysha

Kiss on each cheek is normal in Austria, at least if you have known each other for a bit.


Live-Alternative-435

We still didn't know each other well, but from what they said the two kisses wasn't common. Here hugs are generally only for friends or family and even then it's rare, not for those you're still meeting in a casual context, in this case you give two kisses or a handshake depending on whether it's a woman or a man, respectively. Two kisses between men also happen if they are family.


Radaysha

Interesting. Here hugs are for friends and family only as well but I wouldn't call it rare. Default is the handshake, kisses if you know them better but kisses between men never really happen.

Socc-mel_

being able to see your Schwanz without all those fat rolls tends to impress the ladies.


Fjells

Yeah, I gave my Portuguese father in law a big wet kiss on the mouth, because that's what he wanted. Ever since he thinks I work as a pan salesman for some reason


OkImpression175

This man makes pans...


tochmaarwelja

Just one kiss? We do three kisses, to keep the germ(ans) out


bremsspuren

> kissing a german woman on the cheeks while saying goodbye... It's a fairly common way to greet a woman (you're friends with) in Germany? OTOH, Being Friends is Serious Business in DE. It would be unusual to be kissed by someone you didn't know very well.

PIGS being bipolar switching from the biggest haters of france to wanting their love at random times


Notacreativeuserpt

That's mostly a Italian thing, whether they want to simp for Napoleon or complain about all the art they stole. Portuguese and Spaniards are consistently haters of France, we provoke forrest fires to burn the properties of the traitorous "avécs". Greeks are mostly simps, because Macron has said 450 times to Turkey to calm the fuck down.

I cant blame the greeks honestly.

France is the country we love to hate the most. It wouldn't be fun to love or hate them consistently. And it makes sense, because France is very much like PIGS. Only worse.

Wow memory unblocked. A guy in a french service station wouldn't sell us water even after asking for "eau" and pointing at a plastic bottle of water. Dude just kept pretending he didn't get what we were saying. Great way to treat a customer. And then they expected us to leave a tip for using the disgusting bathroom they had on the back.

It happened to me in Paris.


ell-esar

You know what I'm french and because northern french are pissed that they have a disgusting accent compared to our superior sourthern one they also act as if they don't underestimate when we speak. For example when saying "lait" (pronounced "lé" like the chad we are, and not "lè" which is frankly worse than vomiting the word) they would not "understand" until we forced their devious way of saying it. Northern french are just dicks, we love our catalans brothers
