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.

[–] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 34 points 2 years ago (4 children)

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.

[–] Broccoli@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

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.

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.

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.

[–] Hiro8811@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

This could be used as a pickup line or something lol

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (4 children)

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.

My brain changed the second word to Rammstein.

Have they finally rebuilt the city since the war?

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.de 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's mostly shitty pre WW2 buildings... They do look nice and give the city character I guess.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.mindoki.com 7 points 2 years ago

Lot of east-block stuff from after the war too.

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

[–] Gordon@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

[–] TheBloodFarts@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

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.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] ExLisper@linux.community 36 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, I was young and stupid.

[–] scarilog@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah well, you live you learn

to cum in people's mouths when the opportunity presents iteself.

[–] ExLisper@linux.community 8 points 2 years ago

Sure, I guess I just imagined it will be easy to find people to cum in their mouths later in my life so I simply ignored this one random opportunity. Had I known how much time will I have to wait to actually cum in someone's mouth... And how difficult it is to find a random person offering this. It pretty much never happens.

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".

I don't know any Polish stereotypes, but I do know a Polish joke.

Why does The New Polish Navy have glass bottomed ships?

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