Every culture and every country has its own little habits and customs, certain missteps that are considered massive no-nos, meanwhile, something that might be considered rude in your own culture is deemed perfectly acceptable in another. The Netherlands is, of course, no different. No matter how long you’ve been living here, you’ve probably noticed there are a handful of surefire ways of annoying the locals when you’re out and about.
Whether it’s obliviously walking in the bike lane, or calling the Netherlands “Holland,” there are plenty of ways to get a rise out of a Dutchie. A couple of expats living in the Netherlands sat down to think about the numerous ways you can annoy the Dutch - and the answers are hilarious (and spot-on)!
Are you guilty of any of these faux pas? What other ways can you think of to annoy the Dutch?
