SPANISH MANNERS



If you have ever been in Spain, you will probably have seen people screaming around. You could think they are fighting and you could be right. However in most cases they are not arguing. They are only talking each other. It is the their way of speaking. Most Spaniards speak loudly anywhere. In the street, at the bus, at the church, at the supermarket, at bars and restaurants and even at hospital. They don’t care people hear their conversation despite it is private. (past day I heard two girls telling details each other about their last weekend intercourse) .
If you have to travel at night in Spain be sure you will not able to sleep. In all my trips there always was someone talking loudly through his cell phone over the whole trip. In my neighbourhood is normal waking up at three o’clock during any workday because any neighbour enters the garage with loudly music and his car windows open. And talking about cars you should be very careful if you are a walker in Spain. Most drivers don’t respect cyclists or walkers and it is very common watching terrible accidents. According to "El Mundo" , five hundred people are killed by drivers each year in Spain.
This report also says most of them were old people and children. It tells that twenty children are killed everyday in Spain. The most worrying thing is every accident takes place over zebra crossings. If you are at a restaurant in Spain enyoing your tasty meal, you will see people chewing food with their mouth open showing thus what they have inside, which is disgusting. They will make noise by chewing and of course, they will also be able of talking loudly at the same time. If you are at the supermarket waiting for the check out operator scans all your purchases it is possible she suddenly stops working only because she has started a conversation with the check out operator who works along with her. You would have to wait for the end of the silly conversation. And if you are a woman and go out at night in Spain you should be especially careful. Some drunk men will touch your boobs while walking in front of you. What else? Oh yeah. I was at the bus past Wednesday commuting. I was sit down at the bottom of the bus listening to music on my MP3. The trip was loudly as always but this time, something else happened. Suddenly I noticed something very smelly. It was not about the travellers who were sit down in front of me didn’t have a shower that day or about they were wearing the wrong cologne. They just had farted. As it was like the nazi gas I had get off in the next bus stop to survive. I had to walk one kilometer to my house but at least I breathed fresh air. If you have ever been in Spain and lived any of these situations post a comment. How about the people manners in your country? Write telling about it to compare. Thank you and enjoy your summer because there is no much time left.
