Bad habits / customs of your country

[The Ripper]

Are there customs and/or habits in your country that you find negative?

I'll start off with a couple:

Spitting. Mostly done by young males, but its quite common for girls as well and even among older folk from certain social backgrounds. I remember back in school, when we'd just stand in a circle with a bunch of guys during recess, talk shit and spit into the centre. I suppose its partly due to the climate: most people have runny noses for half of the year and its easy to unload into the snow by spitting. Whenever you exercise / do anything more demanding than a slow walking pace outside in the cold, your nose starts to run. Another reason would be that it has probably been socially accepted since long ago in a mostly rural, northern country where people have spent and still spend much of their time working outside. I admit to doing it myself quite a bit, but as I've gotten older, I'ver started to be more careful about where I do it - a lot people aren't, though. :D

Swearing. I don't know if I'm going grandpa here, but much of the time I find myself appalled at the language of some people, especially young girls, who punctuate their (air-headed) sentences with expletives. I was a little annoyed by Finnish ('comic') rap-artist Petri Nygård performing at the victory celebrations yesterday, as he at one point told the Swedish tabloid media (If I heard him right): "Fuck you." I saw lots of families with small kids there, and I knew half the nation must be watching it on a screen somewhere (not to mention it will be recorded in The Annals of History :p), so it felt a little undignified somehow.

Anyway, your turn!

[Talvi]

I think swearing, especially in Estonian or Finnish can be a fun fun thing! Like.. usually people dont swear in front of people they dont know well yet, but feeling comfortable enough to swear in front of someone kind of establishes a connection of some sort....

Bad habits I dont like : throwing your cigar buds on the ground.

Well there's swearing and there's swearing. Its not that black and white, it is all about context, not so? But I do agree that there's nothing quite corresponding in other languages to the Baltic Finnish curse. :D

Agreed.

[Grumpy Cat]

Swearing is one.

But the one that gets me the most is apathy.

Apathy is often combined with some strange mentality: if you bring up anything bad that's going on in this country, the response is always "at least we're not as bad as the United States".

Gun violence is on the rise, and they say that. Do we want to get to the gun violence level of the US before we do anything about it? By that logic, you should not be having a talk about drugs with your kids until they're hooked on heroin.

[Bloodeagle]

A few of my peoples flaws: Consumerism, waste and apathy.
Sometimes I think that people here have had it good for so long, that we have grown soft as a people.

[Svipdag]

USA : over-eating
I once ate at a restaurant, part of a chain ,I believe, called "The
Heavenly Hog". There were more hogs seated at the tables than on the menu. I never before saw so many grossly obese people in one place.

Foul language
When I was a boy [the 1930's and 1940's] a person could be arrested (and it was actually done) for using in public the kind of language which I hear routinely used by children today.I remember when it was shocking to hear Rhet Butler say "Frankly, Scarflett, I don't give a damn." in "Gone with the Wind".

Recreational drug use
Before the 1950's, only jazz musicians used marijuana and cocaine was mainly used as a local anæsthetic. In the high school I attended, as far as I know only one student smoked pot, and he was a jazz musician.

Even the deaths of teen idols like River Phoenix [I know he was 23; I mean stars idolised BY teens] from drug overdoses don't seem to deter recreational drug use. It's become a "given" in our society.

[Wanderlust]

Swearing,horrible driving,waste and nepotism.
The last one is actually our national sport.

Same here... And i will add corruption too.
Btw, I heard nobody can swear so bad like people here do.

[SaxonCeorl]

This is just my personal opinion, but I don't like the idea of going out in public looking completely and disgustingly unpresentable. My country leads the world in this.

My bad habit: Smoking

My countries bad habit: Eating fast food and turning into sows. At Mcdonalds they now have a 40 piece chicken nugget meal.. Yea..

[Falkata]

Speaking loud
Unless you go to expensive restaurants, in cheap ones, bars... the noise is really annoying. When I leave the place after spending 1 or 2 hours inside I feel liberated and in peace. Fortunately smoking is not allowed anymore

Watching Los Serrano gives me a headache. :D

I think Italians are also quite loud, judging by their television. :D

[Aramis]

Swearing (mostly directed towards mothers and the divine; basically anything that's holy) drinking, spitting etc. Aggressive and intolerant behavior in general :D

[Bard]

You are right, especially southern italians.

Here in the north-eastern part of italy we have some problems with blasphemy, we tend to swear a lot putting in our sentences "god" "the holy mary" and nearly every element of the catholic religion.
It's a very widespread phaenomenon, but it's also considered taboo. So nobody would ever dare to swear in such a way during formal events, it is regarded as a much worse thing than simple swearing.

[Peyrol]

I think Italians are also quite loud, judging by their television. :D

Not "their", but "its".
Is quite different.:D

[Treffie]

If you don't swear where I live, people either think there's something wrong with you or that you're trying to act posh.

[The Ripper]

If you don't swear where I live, people either think there's something wrong with you or that you're trying to act posh.

I'm criticizing the inability to talk without swearing, not swearing per se.

[Aramis]

Bottom line: Swearing is an integral part of European identity.

[Laubach]

Corruption, Apathy,Poor and Violence

[Efim45]

Americans have a bad habit of eating fast food, alas I am no different. I eat about 4 cheeseburgers once every weekend from Burger King and have McDonalds, Wendy's, or KFC for lunch on workdays.

[Grumpy Cat]

At Mcdonalds they now have a 40 piece chicken nugget meal.. Yea..

What the hell? That's considered a family pack, right?

Most McNuggets you can get here is 10. I can barely eat a 6 piece.

I'm not really as against fast food as it seems most people are. I have little issue with it. It's convenient when I'm on the go. People who eat it everyday, I cannot understand. I only eat it when I'm really hungry and in a rush, or when I'm out. That's what it's supposed to be for.

[askra]

this is very common bad habit in sardinia, easy to see along the minor roads: the traffic signs used as targets by stupid hunters :mad:

[Aces High]

The average Britons lack of pride and ignorance of his own history and ancestors achievments.

I think Joe Strumer of the Clash summed it up once in an interview when he was asked if he did what he did for the benefit Joe Public.

He replied.

"I met Joe Public once....and he was a cunt"....how true.

You're right Talvi.It shows stupidity and utter lack of respect.This Historic District seems to be so charming..Is it in Tallinn?

Also something else that is utterly stupid: writing/carving your name into a historical building or natural object like some caves. Nobody cares who you are and that you were here!

That can sometimes be a good thing and add to the ambiance,like the Viking mercenaries who carved their names into the marble balcoy in Hagia Sophia church/mosque in Istanbul.

Long list but like every Italian issue it is very regional:

Lombardy: asshole-ism/snobbism (they are simply asshole, it's difficult to explain, you must try)
Rome: swearing (Roman official sport), rudeness.
Tuscans: feel superior to every other people in the WORLD. Oh, what am I saying? Of the Galaxy and they blaspheme worse than Satana.
Abruzzo: talk very few, we are stubborn like mules, introvert, few expansive and can seem rude, especially with strangers/foreigners, but after all we are very tender. :p
Veneto: a common stereotype says that women are whore and men blaspheme.
Campania: excessively loud, victimist, disorganized.

For Veneto add alcoholism (if it can be considered a bad habit at all; I beg to differ :D).

You didn't mention my region, so I'm curious, is it because our compatriots recognize our innate superiority? ;)

No, alcholism is an Abruzzese thing (well not alchoolism, we stand alchool very well. We drink a lot, especially liquors, that's all).
Tell me your region and I'll destroy it too. ;)

[Wyn]

I was going to say spitting, but people here don't really spit that much. When people do though, I think it's disgusting.

As for swearing, we - les goddams (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_goddams) ;) - have woven it so strongly into our national character that we'd have to rewire our brains in order to not swear regularly.

[Aces High]

As a casual observer,Sardinians are the heaviest drinkers by far in Italy.imho.

No way girl alcoholism - serious alcoholism - is Veneto and Friulan. ;)

Seriously I guess that the coldest the region the more they drink, hence Veneto and Friuli are natural candidates. In Abruzzo they may drink quite a lot indeed because it's a mountainous region.

Cmon I was joking. :D Yes usually on the mountains people drink more for coldness - very wrong behavour as alchool makes blood circulate bad - but also to get calories . ;) Hence, the Alpine and the Appenninic communities have the leadership, in our case with liquors.
Next time I go on mountains I take this dog:

[Eldritch]

Basically, public drunkenness and vulgarity, foul language, littering, spitting, vomiting and urinating all over the place. This happens elsewhere too, but what actually bothers me even more is our unwillingness to intervene when we see unacceptable behaviour in public.

This is one of the biggest things that pisses me off. I view high-class graffiti as art, but doing graffiti on really old buildings in Tallinn's old town is absolutely idiotic.

Well, what do you know ? Perhaps because they are so very common here, I always considered spray-painted grafitti to be an American phenomenon. So sorry to see them in Europe, especially on historic buildings.

[Grumpy Cat]

Around here, nobody paints graffiti on historical or cultural buildings, or private ones. It's usually only on industrial buildings as well as the sides of trains and stuff.

I always thought that was an unwritten rule in graffiti culture.

Like the other Americans said, the huge number of immensely fat people. Especially the ones so fat they have to use scooters to ride around on.

Also immensely lazy people, people who drive 3 blocks rather than walk. People will circle the parking lot 10 times trying to find a spot closer to the door. People will leave their car stopped in the middle of a busy street rather than park around the block and walk (this stunt is called 'double parking'). People stop near the store doors to let people in or out of the car because they are too lazy to walk across the parking lot. People will take a taxi because they are too lazy to walk to a subway station.

People gabbing on cell phones in public, especially on the subway. It's one thing if they are arranging to meet up with someone, or at least it sounds like some sort of serious business call. The mindless gabbing and gossiping is irritating though. SHUT UP! Even worse are the ones on bluetooth, you can't tell them from the homeless people talking to themselves except usually they are dressed better.


Well, what do you know ? Perhaps because they are so very common here, I always considered spray-painted grafitti to be an American phenomenon. So sorry to see them in Europe, especially on historic buildings.

The graffiti here is practically unnoticeable compared to over there, whereas in Europe it is ever present. Mostly here you will see it on bridges and in dark parts of town, there it is everywhere and people will do it in broad daylights on busy streets. I think you will find it here less today than in the past, due to improvements in lighting in cities.

[Talvi]

I think its fine to do graffiti on old Soviet block buildings (the forementioned hrutchofkas). Come on, its hard to find something uglier in a city than that! Good graffiti can only make it better.

Here we have slowly started covering those ugly buildings with new colourful materials.

[Winterwolf]

Graffiti isn’t a bad habit of a single country. It happens all over the globe and I think there are actually also some nice graffiti.

A bad habit of my country is maybe overall unfriendliness and arrogance. At least many foreigners perceive it as that, while in reality it isn’t or is based on a misunderstanding of German mentality. We usually just aren’t that extroverted or open towards others, but therefore we’re deep and not superficial.
I guess the latter statement can be misinterpreted as arrogance again.

You see the problem? :p

Graffiti on public buildings is illegal in Norway and anyone caught in the act will be fined and possibly jailed, the graffiti will be removed most of the time.

For Spain:

This is kinda urban culture called ''Chonis'' or ''Pokeros''...usually wearing loads of gold, piercings, girls with tight clothes, old-fashioned, über-vulgarslutty, smoking, getting wasted every single time the got the chance, listening to some specific genre of music called ''bacalao'' (actually a kind of dance-house-boomboom annoying music)...lovers of Tunning cars and Playboy, as a jewerly brand.

Place them: Low-society trash.

Style: Girls usually got Amy Winehouse hairstyle, black or bottled blonde, using much make up on their eyes and lips, specially red köhl for the lips...again piercings, pretty tanned and so..yeah. Guys, using caps, tracksuits, smokin and holdin their super smartphone (mobile phone) next to the ear even in swimming pools...:rolleyes:

Most of them tend to be gypsies, but tbh, there are a lot of native spanish teenagers into this stuff...lame.

Too much alcohol...people are obsessed with it, you can barely socialize without drinking, in many cases you are kind of expected to drink, it's bs. I say fuck alcohol, I could live my whole life without drinking a drop of it... I don't see what's so good about it.
But from what I've seen, other european countries and america are not that different
