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.
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.
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
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
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.
