How to take the buss in a Nordic country

At the bus stop
-Minimum distance from other persons:1m
-If there are benches/seats, only take one if nobody else are sitting.
-No talking to strangers
-Talking to friends/on the phone permisable if done quietly.

On the bus
Absolutly no talking to anyone
If your phone rings you are to either cancle the call or respond with the phrase ''I'm on the bus, ill talk to you later''in a hushed voice. And nothing else

When it comes to seating the rules are
1:Try to maximize the distance between yourself and other travlers.
2:You may only ask to sit next to someone if there are no free seats and the journey isn't so long that you can't stand. The correct way is to simply ask if the seat is free and the customary respond is either a nod or an affarmative grunt
3:If you find yourself in the unfortunate situatio of sitting next to another person simply dont acknowledge their existence. Look straightahead and remember No talking

Please follow these simple steps for a pleasant ride for you and others

How to take the bus in Australia

At the bus stop
-Position yourself just on the edge of the others' handshaking range
-Take turns making polite with the drug-fucked, smoking aboriginal(s)
-If benches have someone sitting on them, stare intently at the person who isn't sitting on them, and make them sure you know how pathetic they are when you sit down in your display of courage
-Talk on the phone, describing your location and the people around you at a conversational volume
-If with friends, it is your responsibility to laugh more obnoxiously than the other group of friends

On the bus
-Say hello to the bus driver
-Once again, stare at people who aren't sitting down while you sit down next to a stranger
-If you are with friends, talk as loudly as possible, establishing your social dominance
-Continue being polite to the aboriginals, and remember: only fight the women back after one of the men hit you
-If they try to steal something from you, break their spirits by being irreverently racist, then have them kicked off the bus

Follow these simple steps and, in time, your friends will tell you they don't even think of you as asian

How to take the bus in Poland

At the bus stop:
- Stand around in a random distribution, possibly grouping with friends
- If there are benches or seats, take one, but take care not to come into physical contact with strangers
- No talking to strangers
- Talking to friends or on the phone allowed

On the bus:
- Take a seat if there are any available, even if a stranger is sitting in the next seat
- No talking to strangers other than asking if the seat neighbouring them is unoccupied
- Talking to friends or on the phone allowed
- If an elderly person enters and has no free seats, offer yours (refusal unacceptable)
>>
I am Nordic and I dont understand why everyone see this as odd behavior. People just don't have any interest in starting meaningless shallow conversations between people. If you want to start a meaningless shallow conversation, you can. People will respond and talk with you and participate in the shallow conversation.

I will never understand what americlaps find so entertaining and enriching about a meaningless, shallow conversation about the weather or sports.

If you want to start a conversation between a stranger there is nothing wrong with it, but it is not frowned upon to NOT talk to strangers like it is in America.
>>
Murrikan here.

I live in Oregon and have taken the bus numerous times over the years. Not once have I seen a man offer their seat to a woman if all the seats were taken. I would do it, but I'm too beta. Is this common in other places as well?
>>
I guess it has something to do with the sparsity of population in Scandinavia, if people have lived thousands of years in tiny hamlets/villages. Or even in a hut deep in the woods, completely alone.
It is in the genes - keeping distance from strangers, be self-reliant, not being dependent from the help of others etc.

Actually we don't talk to each other, and if you say something people will usually tell you to fuck off. The issue is more that there are no real social rules in America, other than touching somebody is likely to get you punched in the face.

You can try to talk, nobody will give a shit. You can refuse to talk to anybody even while intentionally sitting right next to them we seats are available elsewhere, nobody will give a shit. It's more that nobody cares and everyone hates everyone else regardless of what you do.

>What if i forgot my watch and want to ask someone what time it is?

I'm not a swede or scandinavian, but i won't do that. I would rather look for other options - just not to ask for help, especially if i can resolve this by myself.
Once i was having something like a stoke and terrible weakness afterwards, it happened while taking a tram btw, i've thought i was going to die (literally, it was that bad). Barely managed not to pass out, good thing there were empty seats, otherwise i would have collapsed on the floor.
But even then i haven't asked for help.
Just do not like it, for me it is simple too embarrassing to ask strangers for help.
>>

Yeah it's kind of weird here in the states. It's seen as polite and courteous to greet strangers or make small talk, but doing the opposite and keeping to yourself isn't rude either.

Well, we have a cultural means of closing personal space. I'm Australian and, in the deep outback, where populations are utterly sparse, you'll find yourself meeting someone across a huge distance, across which you can even end up having to lean for a handshake. After the handshake, though, you can close up pretty much all of the distance. This culture is receding, though, and I haven't been into the outback for a long time, so I wouldn't know what it's like now.

Believe it or not but the US is slightly more rural than Canada, Russia, or Finland. 72% of the population lives in a rural area or a town with a population of less than 8,000. We have more people were sqmile but fewer people live in cities.

>hugs
No. Violent physical contact like punching males in the shoulder is okay. Females are not to be touched. And touching somebody in non-violent manner will end with you getting popped in the mouth.

How to take the buss in Canada

At the bus stop
-Stand around wherever you deem it more comfortable. Distance is not an issue.
-If there are benches/seats open, engage in awkward staring match with other who also want the seat until you work enough balls to sit down. Always offer your seat to the elderly.
-Always engage in coversation with others to pass the time by asking a question that ends in "eh?". Conversation should usually centre on complaining. The weather is an easy one to start on.
-Talking to friends/on the phone is normal, even when it's too loud.

On the bus
-Little talking to others but it is up to you whether you want to enage with others or not. Make sure to pointlessly check your phone often and purposely look tired.
-If your phone rings you answer it and engage in regular conversation as it makes the time pass faster and removes the awkwardness of everyone staring at each other.

When it comes to seating the rules are
1:Try to leave a space between you and the next person unless it's packed or you need to sit down, in which case expect to be squeezed among others, where you can enjoy the tight touch and warmth of the bodies of those around you.
2:You NEVER ask to sit next to someone. You just do it. Make sure to give your seat away to old people and mothers with small kids.
3:You will find yourself sitting next to people all the time. Get used to it.

Please follow these simple steps for a pleasant ride for you and others.

Lets put it this way. The crime rate in the US is dropped for 20 years, even during a recession and while we cut half our law enforcement. budgets. The crime rate in NYC and California has increased during that time while they have increased the number of cops they employ by 400%. They try this draconian shit that spends huge amounts of money while not doing a damn thing.

New York is an over-policed crime-ridden shit hole and the ones that made it that way are the ones that have be in charge for 50 years.

Then their pussy mayor has the nerve to suggest gun control to the rest of our cities. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALqBbc_crm4&feature=fvwrel

I swear I could kill that smug prick, his city has more crime that other cities with no gun control and he lectures the nation about crime prevention. Does it even occur to these big city faggots that maybe they are just fucking wrong and the reason they have problems is because they don't do what works for the rest of the country?

It's considered rude to sit down or get to close to other people if there are empty seats available. It's not that we dislike talking to strangers, it's just that it's kind of hard to break the ice since you don't know if they are intrested in conversation or not and you don't want to be rude. Wouldn't you find it annoying if some smelly asshole sat down next to you and started talking about his dog when he could've taken the empty seat two rows behind you and shut the fuck up?

How to take the bus in Turkey:

At the bus stop:
>Minimum distance from other persons:30cm.
>If there are benches/seats, do not hesitate to sit next to someone, if someone is standing up while there is an empty space on the bench, ask them to sit.
>Talk to strangers as much as you can, in fact ask them for lighters or the time as much as you can.
>Talk to your friends or your phone as loud as you can. Bonus points if you have a smartphone and show people how rich and classy you are because of that fact as much as you can.

On the bus:

>If there are attractive females around, try to rub your dick against their butts. Hold them in their wais tightly if they try to escape. If they tell you to stop, tell them that you are just trying to get something out of your pocket and move back quickly.
>If your phone rings, you must open it. Or people will think that you are a PKK operative and just received the signal to blow yourself up.

When it comes to seating the rules are:

1:Try to minimize the distance between yourself and other travlers.
2:Sit every empty seat possible. If the person who is sitting next to you tells you that it is occupied, tell them that you can get up when the person who is supposed to sit there shows up. Bonus points if there is an attractive female next to you and you rub your knee to her knee.
3:If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of standing next to another person who is a homosexual or bisexual male simply clench your buttcheeks and quickly move your butt around to prevent him from rubbing his penis against your butt.

>Repeats for everyone as everyone is related
>Everyone clusters at the front of the bus so that everyone is included in the talking, including the driver

It's like a picnic.

Variations include the ever fun "A sais just got on the bus", which involves everyone suddenly stopping talking in english and the driver overshooting the stop or the "A crime has happened in wales" which means nobody uses the bus at all for one week. Once a week has passed normal usage is restored.

Won't say it's a bad one, but it's a very Asian way of organization.
The worship of the ruler is something that only has penetrated in European culture with the infiltration of Asian models of social organization.
Even Romans and Greeks didn't do it until they conquered the Near East. Apotheosis of the leader is the trait of the empires of the East ( from Pharao's all the way to the Caliphs, the Son of Heaven/Emperor in China and the Eternal Ruler of North Korea ).

Swefag here. I hate this. Someone talks to you, and it feels rude to interrupt or stop it, so you go along with it. Usually, they get it, but I've happened upon an aspie or two that didn't get it and just kept talking.

In any case, people don't actually stand like that here, I haven't seen it. It is true that they tend to space themselves out evenly, but not that much. I usually just go stand in the spot where the bus will stop.
Foreginers are sometimes rude as all hell, especially arabs, niggers and (south) asians. They're extremely loudmouthed and seem to lack the concept of sharing a space with others. This means that you aren't unnecessarily loud and annoying, and others aren't either, and you all have a nice quiet ride.
I don't think it's weird at all. I'm sorry for the rest of you, who have somehow tricked yourself into thinking that a nigger or arab shouting at the top of their lungs is an acceptable person to have to sit next to for the rest of the ride. Talking on the phone is discouraged if you're in a bus so noisy that you have to shout to the person, because it's unpleasant for others to listen to. It's fairly simple, really. It's about mutual respect, something not valued in many societies.
Then again, it's disspearing from ours, too, so that in a few generations, it'll all seem normal.

I don't think it's that at all. I'm Slovenian and waiting for/sitting on the bus is exactly same here as the Swedish guy described it, as is the aversion to bodily contact.

In Slovenia, this is popularly explained by the Slovenes' 1000 year thraldom to the Germans, causing our collective low self-esteem. I don't know what to believe, but it's true that Slovenians are polite, mild and, in the case of men, somewhat emasculated, which is in stark juxtaposition to out close relatives from the Balkans (who of course get all the women here because).

If there's two or more, then prepare for owabuggabugga-talk until they take their smelly children out of the bus and get on the phone.
They're always calling someone.

It's as if they can't stand to just watch stuff and ride along.

Bullshit.

How to wait at the bus stop in Britain:

>You can sit down at the stop if there's at least one space between you and the stranger
>Listen to your ipod or talk discretely on your phone to ignore the tramp asking for money
>Don't move at all, and don't let your legs touch those of strangers, if so say 'sorry' in a quiet, quick voice
>Don't smoke
>If someone pushes in front of you in the queue to get on the bus, don't say anything but just glare at the back of their head to make it clear you're upset by this

What to do once your on the bus

>Say 'hello' to the bus driver as you get on it
>Check the seat for chewing gum before you sit down
>Don't take a seat next to strangers unless no others are free, it is still preferable to stand
>Don't sit near the back of bus unless you want to hear a bunch of black kids howling and belting out 'Hit 'em up' through their blackberries
>Don't go to the top of a double decker at night unless you want to get raped
>Don't sit near the front of the bus unless you like the smell of old people
>Move for pregnant/old people
>Sit quietly with your hands in your lap

Thanks, I'd rather be beta and just quietly take the bus along with other betas. You can go be "alpha" in africa with your dancing screaming niggers.

Anyways, I'm more concerned with Americans shedding their blood for another useless kike-war that'll drag the world in the biggest shit since decades. Soldiers are supposed to protect your 'freedom', not another nation.
Stay a greatest ally.

People are overly-social here, compared to London, where I'm from, where people never ever make eye-contact or stab you to steal your shit.

cultural imperialism doesn't mean ALL cultures suddenly behave like americans, but that elements of it are being integrated in these other cultures.

I think that's just you, I tend to take these things as the come, sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad, sometimes you talk, other times you don't, sometimes people are ok, sometimes they're annoying as fuck, I'd definitely say there was no "culture" or "etiquette" about it, just people acting normally in their own way.

And you're saying Brits are the only culture that do this? Isn't that by definition what culture is?

1 the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively: 20th century popular culture

2 the ideas, customs, and social behaviour of a particular people or society: Afro-Caribbean culture

You know what US cities have some reasonably nice transit? I've not been to New York, but Chicago's CTA is fantastic. The DC Metro is fine too, but doesn't match the CTA, though I live in NVA, so when I commute I ride with people heading to/from the Pentagon. Niggaboos causing trouble on the train? Not likely.

Nope. I wasn't saying that. Did you have anything else? No, I won't be so coy. I was saying that the Brits are so firmly indoctrinated into their cultural practices that they mistake it for human nature and personal choice. Their royal family, media, and intentional dissimilarities all exist only to make this assimilation effective.

I'm in Portland and I'll offer my seat to a woman if I'm in a good mood and she's older but if she's my age I don't care. It's no mark of shame to behave like you were raised properly. I don't over analyze when I do it, I just smile and take pride in my upbringing.

New Yorker master race here

Lol at the Europeans who don't understand that public transport doesn't make sense for most of america as everything is waaaaaay too spread out.

Lol at the Americans bashing NYC and public transport when they have never lived in NYC or used the subway for an extended period of time. The time/effort really is equivalent to driving in the suburbs. This style of transport just works better for most of us here.

They did not invite it, it was forced upon them and most of them hate it but they cant speak out because if they did the cultural marxists would persecute them and they could loose their jobs. They wont do anything until they have nothing left to loose and then it will be a violent reaction.

There is no such thing as Anglo culture. Just because you speak a language derived from the tongue spoken by the ruling class in Britain during the dark ages does not make you Anglo-Saxon. The people inhabiting the british isles now are genetically identical to the ancient celtic Britons, the english colonists were britons but most white Americans are decended from Germans. English is also an easy language to learn as it has a very simple grammar.
