Do you think that Polish people are rude?

English people in London just think that Poles with otherwise perfect English are being sarcastic so in turn they are frosty in return so Polish people think that English people are being unfriendly

But English people are masters at good sarcasm. Why would they be offended by Polish being sarcastic?

What a ridiculous and biased question is this. Let me enlighten you according to the opinion of my irish/english friend who lives in brazil europeans are rude and he left europe for brazil because of the general antagonistic culture. For example europeans begin at a early age teasing and abusing each other for whatever reason, this is true in the USA as well as there is a plethora of ethnic slurs and jokes that is rampant and common among children and last through adulthood generally and obviously. In Brazil no such thing exists there does not exist any ethnic slur for anyone black white or anyone else everyone is respected. Brasilians and poles are somewhat alike in this manner. In brasil people do not discriminate nationalities everyone is on equal footing, children in schools from my experience are much more gentle and embracing than americans and europeans, and my irish friend can back this up. Just look at carnaval in brazil how loving and embracing it is of all nations and especially the native indians and downcast africans and how accepted this ceremony is by all peoples of brasil including the european descendants. Learn from them how to put a stop to the rudeness. Just one more example , look at the brazilian soccer players how nice and clean they play and what good loosers they are which makes them into the real winners even when they loose which is not often. So are poles rude, I dont think so, Every european has their hands dirty in rudeness and poles probably much less than others.

They don't understand that the Poles are being sincere. They are genuinely saying something not being sarcastic.

Try it youself with the szesc-siedem-osiem -- you're using the "roof of your mouth" to form the words which is quite common in Slavonic lanuages. This is uncommom for "mouth shape" naturalized english speakers.

Are Polish people rude? Well, some defenitely are, and some totally aren't. Really, I think people are pretty much the same everywhere?

I mean, even you can get a bit rude sometimes. Just like I can, and I think that's alright.

how could the poles ever be rude , did they enslave anyone, not ever. Where they massacered recently by both neighbors yes and maybe that left some trauma. But also they are more gentle and peace loving yet truly heroic when the going gets tough. And this is proven by their history of accepance and egalitarian ideals.

Maybe, but I didn't have much problem with it. Probbaly I am in general bit sarcastic

You'll have to excuse me when I say that still doesn't mean Polish people can't be rude sometimes.

Because everyone can get rude sometimes?

Exactly.

I do agree with this, and I think everyone is capable of rudeness, just dont
wake up on the wrong side of the bed thats all!!

MY dad could be rude, but it wasnt cause of him being Polish. he just didnt have
patience!! thats why people are rude, because they want it now, pronto!!
or they cant tolerate waiting, or get angry when something is out of place.

Or they snub people for not being like them. thats extremely rude. rude is mostly
unacceptance of something you dont like.

Ditto.... and as for the Americans being rude... depends on the person again, etc etc. I'm from the North and we are much more direct & to the point than the Southern folks. I found the Polish people to be very nice in almost every interaction I've had. Wasn't wild about the time I spent in Britain, frankly, I found the shop keepers rude & lots of people rude. Didn't care for Vienna, either, or any other places in Austria. Same reason.

You see, you have been ASKED! Now that's what I call polite, and proves that even in those kind of situations Poles know how to behave.

Pah, you're mere amateurs.

Toff 1: I say, were you looking at my lady companion in an amorous manner? Why, you fiend, you've just gone and offended my principles to their very core. I demand satisfaction.
Toff 2: Why, I am most dreadfully sorry, however, I wouldn't want to insult you further by refusing to give you satisfaction.
Toff 1: Jolly decent of you. Would you mind stepping outside?
Toff 2: Certainly, i'll even remove my spectacles. I wouldn't want you to cut your hand on any glass fragments.
Toff 1: I do hope you enjoy hospital food.

i find stress and tiredness dont help much either

Funny huegal!

ok... when i say asked it was actually my polite british way of putting it... it was more a case of wypie*dalaj zaj*bana pi*do... mate...

It`s too easy to pin a label on someone`s behaviour, as being a national characteristic, ie being Polish and rude, and hide behind it, and not face the real reason for it and maybe some unpleasant truths.

not quite sure what point youre trying to make purple

I had problems understanding that until I realised "Purple" was a person!
I mean - how can you make a point purple except with felt tip pen?

REALLY?

Polish rudeness

Rudeness has been the effect, though probably not the intention of the Polish person I allude to, and to suggest this, as has been muted to me, anything to do with nationality, is an insult to this person`s intelligence. The real reason******?

The French always ask how you are - ca va? comment vas-tu? and so on...it's definitely a part of their culture; the same applies in Australia.......it is common politeness and if we don't ask it, it's seen as rather rude in most situations.....

Some of what you say is true but much is absolute nonsense.Observe the murder rates for Brazil,the percentage of black prisoners in Brazil and how many of the thousands of poor people killed by Brazilian police and death squads are black.Open your eyes.

you are so rasic do you ever go aboard well how would you like it if they started saying that about you would you know well then and not all polish peple are like that okay little miss rasic[b][/b]

you mean to say "Racist"

so true. If hes really from Brazil then Paulo must be a rich son of a policeman or politician...and to say that no Poles are racist either is a joke.

and by the way polish people are qutie polite

some polish people are rasic but not alol don't you agree

again the word RASIC. im trying to help you. its Racist

some polish are rasict but not all of them don't you agree sapphire
