Last march I met an Australian stereotype and he was extremely rude to me. He asked me for directions, I told him that I had no time (I am a businessman, always busy, always in a hurry) and he looked at me with a really mean and degrading look. No, Australians are definately not nice people. Yours, Almond P. Brookewater.
no excuse dude!!! who cares if your a business man!! he asked for directions you more or less told him to go away, an aussie is only rude, when another is rude to them. be kind to everyone. you should have just said i dont know im sorry or im in a hurry, and not have time for him. respect is earnt when respect is given in the first place
n if that is really you in the late 80's, you probably still look a lil similar now. i would have looked at you weird too, in fact i wouldnt have even asked you lol you look like a frog bahahahaha
Auzies are the friendliest people on earth...rough (Becoase of the landscape and penal colony background), but friendly. for example; 1. when our car broke down in the outback, there were imidiatly 3 cars stopping to help you out... 2. They wish every one they come across a G'day... and automaticly call you Mate...how great is that!? Peace dudes and Mates
today my father called me and told me to pick up his aussie friend and drive him to a hotel. i drove 12km to the train station only to find out that his hotel was 200m away from the station. nice bloke though, and no they're not really rude, but you know, bird was obviously joking.
No excuse. Our national honour is at steak. Lets round up all foreigners who do not believe Australia is top shit and drive them into the sea. lol
I guess you met a fake Australian Seriously, Australian's are friendly and kind people. _______________ Australia Travel
Its sad that you had a negitive experience of an "Aussie."..though I think it even more sad that you have made such a blanket statement about all Australian People. It you took the time you would come to the realisation that Australia has her fair share of wonderful, beautiful, caring and understanding people...just as much as she has her share of utter dick heads...no different from any other country in the world friend. Its called "human nature". Not to mention, did you put yourself in the shoes of the person asking the directions, as to how you came across to them!? Not wise to make such judgements upon people, regardless of who they be, without fully knowng the truth, lest you be judged likewise. Peace!
Most Aussies I've met I've found to be cool apart from one Redneck I met from Queensland who was always drunk and liked to refer to me as "Eh IIIIrish". He was a knob. Still, lots of people like him in every country.
u can't assume that every aussie is rude just because of One person who just looked at you with "a mean and degrading look" and the only reason he did that is cause you were mean to him in the first place.
Hey all - I met some aussies throughout my life, they were very nice and helful so why would some people complain . Moreover, if one aussie occured to be somewhat annoying, we cannot generalize to the degree where all aussies are to be called annoying. I like them. Give politeness get politeness - that's the principle to go after. Rox.
