Australians are rude and not nice

I'm actually an Australian myself. I think that alot of people often say that we're rude people because a great magority of us are too the point and dont really give a damn what other people think about us. We're really laid back and great drinking buddies once youve gotten used to the whole 'Yea G'day cobbler' type thing. We really are probably some of the friendliest people on Earth here.

 

that's a big claim to make

Hahaha some of us can be rude when we ask a simple Question like Hmmm...excuse me Sir would you mind giving me directions,could you please tell me how to get from point A to point B in your wonderfull City, but then get fobbed off due to time commitments of not being able to take Ahhh say 15/20 seconds of time out of the day to help a fellow person out..
Might get a bewildered or gobsmacked look on our face,I woulda said Oh well thanks for nothin mate!..and it would have been the plain out truth..but not nasty or rude lol.
Cheers

you stated you had no time... l guess you where honest.. take time and get to know a Australian, they would probably give you their time too.

 

Big, bad, buisiness man with no time for anybody. YOUR A FREAKIN KNOB GOBBLER!

 

I am not sure if it is a case of cultural misunderstanding, but the only rude people to me at Hipforums have been Americans. That is not to say that all Americans are rude. There are of course many more Americans here at HF than Aussies but there are also plenty people from the UK and none of them have been rude to me so far.

To give a couple of examples someone started a thread in one of the personal forums on the cinema version of The Hitchhikers Guide To The Universe. I gave the URL to a thread in one of the UK subforums on the same subject and was told to "Slag off". I was only trying to be helpful.

Another time a woman who has the same star sign as me and runs a hipforums store had some sort of problem, I asked a relevant question and she told me to,
"Mind my own business".
That being the case, why did she tell us about her problem in the first place?

 

Bird: you are far too sensative! he only looked at you like that 'cause of the resoponse you gave him! You could have said, alternatively, that you were sorry, you didn't have time, and explained why for 2 seconds. Honestly!

 

I drove these australians around in my cab and they were obnoxious rubes. I had to almost kick them out of the cab.

 

Oh yeah, and there were some at this youth hostel up near Aspen and those guys were just alcoholics, all they did was sit on the porch getting shit faced and acting like lowlifes.

u r pretty un fortunate im an aussie from melbourne and i dont think im a grumpy shit head

 

I want to know why australians seem to copy everything England does? What gives with driving on the left and English looking road signs? Not the language, the similarity.


Also why do Australians claim Fosters beer to be their own? I only discovered Fosters wasn't Australian when I was sober enough to look at the tin and it comes from an English city. I think Newcastle.

Also even though I respect many Australians, i feel that they are like well, copy cats. They even have a prime minister. I wonder if they have a Hyde park?

 

You've got to be kidding

 

Study history. The Australian states were part of the British Empire. Australia always has and continues to take cues from the UK. Once upon a time I believe Sydney had the Routemaster double decker buses that were once very much of an icon of London.I am not sure what colour the Sydney ones were painted though.
Sydney was once the only place in the world where the black London taxi was allowed to be experted to.

Having said all that, Sydney was the first place to have double decker trains - an idea that has been copied elsewhere. Motorbikes used by stockman on sheep and cattle stations is another world first.

It is called marketing. The strain of yeast used was isolated in Australia first and the recipe taken back.When I lived in the UK draught Guinness was also brewed in the UK.

The Federal Government system is a blend of the Westminster and Washington systems. There is a Hyde Park in Sydney.

 

wai wai wait a minute.

You mean to tell me that they have a Hyde Park? Do they have a Lewisham anywhere? Just out of curiousity I don't hate the Australians anyway. I think they are kind and warm, gentle people. If anything, I would feel more at peace with an Australian than with an American or a British citizen.

I also wonder why they copy Britain. I mean we are in two totally different hemispheres. We know this by the way the water goes down the drain, called the Coriolis effect. I believe our water goes anti clockwise and theirs goes clockwise. Why do the Australians have our Union Jack? It is like copywrite or something.

 

Yes they do. Look it up for NSW.

Bird never actually wrote this....


it was in fact " Almond P. Brookewater"

 

way ahead of you. Somewhere not far from Sydney.


I am shocked and amazed. They do have Lewisham and not only that, Lewisham station and Dulwich. Looks like Australia have created a nation solely on the street names, church steeples and citys of Britain. Bet they have a Denham. If they do, might swoon.
