The things Polish people do in the US

They warm their milk
They like to barter anything they buy
They open up boxes in stores to see what they're buying
Wash clothes by hand
Afraid of microwaves
Wear boy-kinis
They ride bikes on the freeway

We warm our milk too in France, and we can add chocolate in it...nothing incredible :p

Are you talking about someone specific, Mrs. G? ;)

I do that;)

I do all the above (well, apart from the last two)

lies, all lies

re: The things Polish people do in the US

- You mean: all the Polish people in the US do that?

Including yourself (if you're Polish)?
:)

People in the US don't like warm milk. They like a cold glass of milk and eat cereal with cold milk. Not talking about hot coacoa. Must be a European thing to drink warm milk.

When someone sells a car in the US, the buyer usually asks how low will they go, but Polish people will barter and stand there for hours and look at any little dent to make the guy sell his car for less.

I've seen Poles open boxes of toothpaste and shampoos to smell the stuff, then the box is open and they leave it in the store. You can't do that. The merchandise is damaged.

They wash clothes by hand and hang it over the tub to dry. They don't like driers, they say their clothes get ruined in washing machines, untill they get one and realize it saves time.

They are not familiar with microwaves untill they actually use one.
No lies, just my observations and how people from other countries act.
And no, I am not talking about mr. G. Just the Poles I know in general.
They don't like American fast food restaurants, will not eat fries or burgers there, but will eat fries and burgers if presented to them on a plate. Same thing, different presentation.

****Cheeks turning red**** I admit, I thought you were....:)

Mrs B Woo shame on you, sex sex sex that all you think about :) Damn he must have been good :)))

Don't be.
I was when I was talking about him riding a bike on the freeway...I was laughing sooo hard when I found out about it....

And he doesn't wear his boykinis anymore either...:)

What's this ?

Oh dear Grzegorz, it's a word FISZ came up with.

speedos, trunks, skimpy little tight shorts are you getting the gist of it Mr G :) Im sure the British public are rather hoping to see you in a pair when you decide to move over here :)

Aren't you talking about normal pants ? So what men should wear ?

They should wear nothing. Looks sexier that way.

not all Polish people and geez.... people don't act this way in Poland so it's a bit weird what you're saying.... one more, please don't generalize, thank you.


imagine men version of this:

and this will be boy-kini (ok... more or less, but... nice picture, isn't it?) :D

You're right. I shouldn't generalize. But I've seen Poles do that.

But she is talking about Chicago redneck :)

There are plenty of accuracies in that statement in regards to my wife. She doesn't understand why I don't try to barter. Everything is to be opened before purchasing, much to my embarrassment, and sometimes chagrin.

Here's one observation:
One-upmanship....Whatever you have, I will have something better. Not only is it better, but I paid less ( or bartered it ). This applies to cars, jobs ( work less, yet earn more ) housing, doctors, hardwood flooring, cellular phones, oriental rugs, satelite TV, homemade pierogies, dogs and cats, and anything else under the sun. There's always a better place to shop, that costs less and has better quality and service.

My Polish friends always warm their milk even in cereal.

They use microwave ovens, but they even I open all boxes before I buy!!

1) Party
2) Drink
3) Impregnate the local women
4) Teach Americans about real vodka
5) Play soccer
6) Give their kids a good head start

:)

7) Eventually take over the city.........

I knew the Polish were smart (have a few relatives with Polish heritage and their intelligence is almost embarrassing----at least they are cool about it---they don't criticize me when I make stupid remarks!) Remind me, next time, to take my cousin, Tom, with me when I buy a house!

I Love the Polish!!!

I knew it...................we rubbed off on you :)

BTW, Miss A, I was referring to Krysia's husband (which I'm sure you have figured out by now), but in answer to your question, it's always good with someone you love! :) and I have to admit, I do love him!!!!! (even if he is a Brit....LOL) :):):):)

If you're like my family members, we put up pictures of Our Lady Of Czestochowa in almost every room of our house!

I know of a few more things the Poles in America do, and it makes me shake in terror.

They breathe when alive.

They keep their eyes open when not sleeping.

And - the horror of horrors! - they laugh when amused.

So it's right that they still must apply for the American visas.

Oh my gosh, I do that too! In fact I do all these things. You are right, Poles are no different than Americans. (I think that "Americans" is too long a word. Can we get a diminutive, please? How bout "Ammies"?)

:D

Shopgirl, 'Ammies' sounds cool. :)))))))))))

And how should we Poles be called diminutively?

Pollies? :))))))))))))))

"Poles" is already short! It's one syllable :)
I hate anything with more than 2 syllables, I have a terrible habit of shortening and sweetening everyone's name, that I know. That's why I call you "Puzzly", cause its more cuddly that way! :)
