Why are you Romanians so rude against guests?
Vincent
Last month I had to stay for a week in Romania. Most of the people working in
offices, restasurants etc. were very rude and inpolite. If you are trying to
get more investments and tourists, then why don't you be normal against western
people, people who are investing in your country?

Dear Vincent,
I'm from Germany and had some very positive contacts with people in Romania. I
wonder how that you understood the inpolite people without understanding the
romanian language.
By the way I hope that you realized that in Europe the currencies
are (surprising) different that the dollar?
If you want to invest money in Romania, if you have some,
would be better to spend your time on business research than to
to talk people having a culture which is definetily older than the
US culture.
Assuming that you made some progress regarding the inpolite language I have to
tell you : STAI ACASA, CA ACOLO este LOCUL TAU!

Hehehe Vincent me boy, I am afraid that rudness is a nondiscriminatory occurence
in Romania. Trust me on this, they are just as rude or more, with the Romanian
public. The best recommendation, make a big scene, holer, curse, and scream
blody murder ! Don't be shy to dump dishes & contents on the waiters head ;=)

That is the result of the communist era, the result of the upside down scale
of values imposed by the bloody communist rulers..
That's probably the most damaging scare (wound?)..

It may be older, but certainly not wiser. For Chryst sake, Canada has 128
years of UNINTERRUPTED democracy. Now THAT's culture. Romania has got fuck
all to teach the world about that element of culture, so sit down and shut up.
Mike Popovici
Wally
Having the uninterrupted 128 years of democracy does not guarantee the
acquiring any valuable culture. In fact if you look at the greatest cultures
of the world e.g. China, Europe, their history is dominated mostly by
periods of total lack of democracy.
Your comment comes to confirm that the New World countries are trying to
replace the void in their cultural heritage by the loudly trumpeted
democracy where everybody can be a total moron and proud of it.
Now just to give you a well known example, France, a capitalist country of
both great culture and democracy is known to be very rude to their tourists.
How can you explain that Wally ?

In the 5 or 6 years that I have been going to Romania I have rarely
encounted any rudeness, and certainly a lot less than I have in my native
Britain, and the other European countries I have travelled to.
I expect the reason lies in your attitude and not with the
Romanians you encountered.

My hat off to you , sir. That's exactly where
the rub is. These individuals go to Romania
or any former communist country for that matter,
with an attitude of the XVII century explorers
visiting darkest Africa.
What they don't know is that many of the people
working in hotels and restaurants are either HS
or College grads who accept menial iobs driven
by the dire economical problems in post-commu-
nist Romania.
Treat them as decent human beings and you will

As long as you are civil to them, they'll treat you in

Well,.... you are right.
I don´t know why sometimes it is so, but I can tell you it is like that,
and there is a difference between you as foreigner and the local people:
They treat you better !!
Why ? : They think you have more money.
You just have to read the answer posted bei : DRJRW46 and I think you will
find some answers.
It is a way of showing how smart romanians are : Romanian culture older than
US culture; in europe more currencies, etc. That doesn´t have anything to
do with your question, but Mr. Weingaertner demonstrates that he can be
inpolite, especially by screaming : " STAY HOME, BECAUSE THERE is YOUR PLACE
! " (transl.) Capital letters = to scream.
You don´t start yelling: look at them they´re ruder than us.
If somebody is rude to you don´t go down to his level - Ignore it !
I mean, for those of you who understand romanian, just read some of the
messages posted before with all the rude things, and bad words, and with
everybody tring to show how smart he or she is and how stupid the others.
Exemples: "Prostii", "Re: lume de incredere" etc.
If in an international newsgroup like that, that everybody can read, people
use such words and expressions offending others, you don´t have to worry
about waiters in Romania being rude.
Just remember: this newsgroup in entitled: soc.culture.romanian. Some of the
postings are good and if something doesn´t interest sombody or that person
has a different oppinion - just write your opinion. That doesn´t mean you
have to offend persons that don´t share your opinion !
But, I guess a Newsgroup is more or less anonymous, so everybody can write
anything.
Think - this is one of the very few romanian Newsgroups, so if somebody
searches for information on Romania, he (she) will read all this.
I refuse to think that all romanians are like that, I know a lot that aren´t
!! - the ones who are just scream louder and if you don´t listen to them
they offend you ! ;-))

The people are unfriedly not dirrectly because of the comunists. I don´t
think the comunists
told anybody : be rude, offend others, be inpolite.
The comunism just gave the romanian citizens a feeling of superiority :
romanians are the best, know everything, old culture etc. based on the
complete block of all news. After the very fast freedom for Romania some
realized, that that isn´t so. That superiority turned in inferiority for
some, soooo they try to gain back the superior feeling. The most direct way
of doing that is telling somebody he is stupid or being rude and inpolite :
what does He, want from me ! I am disturbed by somebody which I think is
superior so let me show him he isn´t.
Well, this is just an idea I don´t claim it is the truth, maybe one of many
possibilities.
The truth is : "Not all romanians are rude, just some of them!"
(if I apply my theory to this sentence, the ruder they are, the inferior
they feel)

Really? I'm fuckin' impressed. It started with the strangleing of the
Iroquois Ghief "by Maisonneuve HIMSELF", and continued into the modern
era with the indians forced to return in States to be massacrated by the
yank's, "The Duplessis Orphans", medical experiments (lethal or
crippleing) on large masses of population without their previous
approuval, and continued with the involvement of Canada in "Microwave

True, strong and solid_build democracy, indeed..
For "the people". Well, at least a small part of it.

Wally, "Chryst" is spelled 'Christ.' The correct usage of that in a

miserable life, so use it appropriately!
And, by the way, most people already sit down and shut up anyway....think

Huh ?
I do not understand which country you have visited ......
I was in Romania for over 4 months, and I was surprised about the
friendly way many people behave in Romania. I also met rude people, but
are there places where you will not find rude people ?
Besides that, you visited a foreign country so you should be the one to
adjust.... There are differences between Romania and the West, this is
a fact.
I'm also happy that in Europe (general) we do not have this creepy way
of behaviour US citizens have when you enter a shop or public place.
Always this irritating smile on their faces ! You can't convince me
that anyone working at MC Donalds is the happiest person on the planet
Earth that day ! The job sucks ! So why this irritating smile on your
face ? Just do the job but don't pretend !
It's the sharade the U.S. always wears around itselve..... (Look how
people react on the news that their president has sex too !!!!!).
Anyway, I totally disagree......, and I didn't even react on the stupid
quote: " people who are investing in your country ?" . Perhaps your
arrogance was the reason why people were not nice to you.
By the way: I'm Dutch: the most friendly one in the country.

Mitch, I don't think you qualify as an expert in the art of smile
interpretation to be speaking for "us americans". I could be mistaken...
maybe you do have years of research to prove me wrong... it just may be that
you are one of those "happy" McDonalds employees!
As for the rocket scientists... last I've heard, they were all employed by

happy working for McDonalds & BK.

CULTURE & DEMOCRACY are not mutually exclusive. There is a difference in a
culture that has grown for generations under an evolving democracy, and a
culture that has been stifled for generations under dictatorshit.
Democracy has a way of making culture florish, whereas dictatorshit tends
to stifle culture. Democracy or dictatorshit are highly influential to
culture, and are intrinsically involved in cultural manifestations. As I
said, Canada has nothing to learn from Romania about democracy.

I am an ethnic Canadian. I have enjoyed the culture of uninterrupted
democracy for my entire life, as my father enjoyed it, as his father
enjoyed it, and his father before him, and his father before him, and so on.
> Or maybe you are born closed to

I am happy that I was born outside of Europe, that birthplace of two world
wars that were the most lethal cultural manifstations in the history of
the world. THAT is European culture, the culture of facism, nazism,
communism, monarchy, dictatorshit, etc. Some fucken culture. Big deal that
your culture has been around for centuries; given that WW1 & WW2 occurred
is evidence that Europeans learned squat from all that culture. Impressive.

And WHAT is it that makes these the GREATEST cultures in the world.
Europe's culture progressed so well that it bequeathed unto the world
nazism, facism, communism, monarchism, dictatorshit, ethnic cleansing,
holocaust, a constant soaking of European soil with blood, blood and more
blood. And for this, the world gets some symphonies, paintings, and poems
by a handful of creative souls who manifested in spite of the European

They are free to do that. They are free to do otherwise also. There is no
VOID in Canada's cultural heritage. After a century of European idiocy
(WW1 & WW2) European cultural has become, after centuries, old and
sclerotic, whereas, Canada is as fresh as a teenager. There is not the
burden of cultural heritage that a Canadian has to carry, and this makes
for a greater freedom of cultural movement. It is NEW & FRESH, whereas,
European culture has become old and stale -- evidence that many creative
Europeans feel they must come to the New World for the room to create
without the stifling straightjacket of heritage.

I think you are right talking about your northern neighbor.
The people from Canada writing such a letter demonstrate just their complex of

On the other hand I have to remember that this user group
should maintain the romanian language even the topics are so interesting. Maybe
that's a new challenge for pseudo-canadians!

So you claim. Canada has never been bombed, occupied, invaded (except for
a failed attempt by the USAmericans in 1812), etc. Whatever blood is on
the hands of Canadians, is a fraction of the blood on the hands of
USAmericans and Europeans. The culture of blood looks good on you.

It may be a challenge for Pseudo-anybodies, however, there ain't no pseudo
about me -- I'm an ethnic Canadian. If you don't like that -- good. We
have yet to indulge in the culture of dictatorshit. It's your culture, so
wallow in it.

Many of the self-governing island of Pacific have never been bombed either;

Whatever culture is on the hands of Canadians, is a small ersatz of the

The Eskimo cannibalism, part of the Canadian heritage, is most vividly

The correct term is "bozgor", from the Slavonic "bez" (without) and
"gora" (mountains). Therefore "bozgor" means "without mountains", or,
figuratively, "people from the plains". It was not considered a
pejorative until some Hungarians realized Transilvania was a rather
mountainous region...

I will agree with this one, and tell you that I had myself the same
relative impression when I visited Moscow in '92. They were rude
for my standards, as we are probably rude for western standards.. just a
matter of relative magnitude.. Russia had its 80 years of communism, we
had our 40 years.. but don't bother too much about it, you can find
rude people everywhere around the world, in places you less expect; the
important thing here, as opossed to mathematics, or philosophy, where you
try to generalize, is to try and individualize this behavior. It is
not a whole nation that's beeing rude, but single individuals...
It is easy to be rude when you hide behind a political slogan, or
party or creed, in the crowd.

I bet that the percentage of the rude ones heavily outnumbers the
percentage of the nice ones, everywhere you go...
But where I think Vincent has a point, is that you don't expect a rude
behavior when you think of yourself as a prospective customer.
This is where the "bloody" comunist rule is to blame: there were no
such concept as the CUSTOMER in the communist era, so people are
not used to this. In my short stay last summer back home, in Bucharest,
for 2 weeks, it was only once, at a beer pub on Smardan, that I felt
I was treated like a customer (in the western acceptance of the word),
from the first moment I stepped inside. Let's face it, we can do better..
The only point were I have an objection to Vincent, is where he
pictures himself as a GUEST. As already said, he was a CUSTOMER, and
YES, we do not know our interest, we do not know how to please our
customers (most of the time)

There is an other aspect to the Cultures and Civilization subject,
Cultures could exist within or outside civilization. If you do not
accept a value system defined by the past 500 years you are defying the
civilization.
Time, as history that exists in our conscience, gives semantic meaning
to the elements of the visual environment. The semantic meaning is an
expression of the system of values and measures defined as a
civilization. Within civilization, cultures could coexist. Some of them
are so crucial that if removed will alter the civilization. Others, are
not so important without them the civilization could go on.
The US culture is a part of the Western Civilization the Romanian is
rejecting it.

Yup ! and that IS English !!!
"Because that is where your place is" sounds a lilly bit more
plausible.
To say nothin' of this idiotic " RUDE AGAINST ". For cryin'
out loud ! It is " rude to " !. A Romanian saying goes like so :
A madman throws a pebble in the pond and a hundred wise
asses can't retrive it !
A semi-illiterate wrote "rude against" and the friggin' phrase
has a' ready become Oxonian inglese...
Hurray for idiocy...

Pendant mes nombreux séjours en Roumanie j'y ai rencontré seulement des
gens aimables, gentils et polis
Mais je vais au devant d'eux toujours la main tendue, plein de tolérance.
Comment les avez vous abordé?
Avec votre "supériorté" occidentale?
Retournez y avec un autre état d'esprit.
Amitiés.
