Most miserable people

Who would you say in the world has the most miserable people?

I was inspired by a recent visit to Slovakia....I thought I wouldn't find anywhere with less friendly and sour faced people than Hungary...I was wrong.

Overweight people who can’t have sugar.

So-called "Woke" people

Lots of Eastern Europeans have what appears to be a sense of humour bypass. I headed into work in the pissing rain, met a Polish dude, and said lovely day. He replied it is a lovely day if you are being sarcastic, it is ****. I was being sarcastic.

A lot of people who spend far too much time on social media and spouting their almost worthless opinions on sites like Boards and Reddit are truly miserable.

Social media isn’t social, and it’s making a large percentage of its ‘customers’ very miserable indeed. Depressed and full of anxiety even. Using your phone for more than an hour or two a day should be a huge red flag to be honest. Ruining the old dopamine system, and you’ll probably spend time in anonymous addiction support groups for it in the future.

I dunno, I was at a wedding in slovakia a few years ago and thought they were very nice.
Papa new guinea however- a living proof that misery loves company.

I've been to Hungary and concur they are an incredibly miserable bunch

Scots are a dour lot too

You don't have to go as for as the continent, I think there are quite a few contenders for the title in AH tbh.

There was an experimental play organised in 1997. "les miserables" began a casting call, but in order to be considered for the part each actor had to have undergone a devastating life event within the previous 6 months, loss of a loved one and such.

The next hurdle was to pass a psychometric scheme which would determine the persons outlook on life in general. The more bleak the perspective, the better chance of getting through.

At the same time, tickets were made available to visitors of hospices, hospitals and funeral parlours across the region.

Next, I got tired of talking shoite.

Mate, this is the third thread this afternoon you've tried having a pop at me. What is it, low blood sugar? Have an orange juice and calm down.

Israelis are great craic once you spend time in their company, a beautiful country too.

05-11-2019 05:57PM

People often go on how the Irish are great craic and other nations are dryshytes but what if roaring Father Ted quotes while scuttered isn't great bants and they have their own humour in their own language?

I despise the Israeli State but anyone I've ever met from Israel has been great fun.

Norwegians.
I'd be that dour if alcohol was that price and it was night for half the year here.

Special shout out to Hungary, surly staff that throw the change and receipt at you. Czech customer service not much better.
Found Poland to be a lot more pleasant in contrast, with the one exception of Gdansk airport security.

I, personally, have always found the Scots to be grumpy and very quick to anger.

“Dour” is a word I’d use to describe the people of Northern Ireland, parts of it anyway.

Couldn’t agree more, Emmet. Extremely sour, dour, and surly people in Norn Iron. The misery is etched into their faces.

I once was the up in Belfast and asked for a pint of stout and a pint bottle of Bulmers.

‘We call it Magners up here, laddie’ was the response from a red-faced barman in his late 50’s who looked like he was about to have a stroke and a heat attack at the same time.

Surely roaring Fr. Ted quotes from 25 years ago is the height of wit?

My wife is Slovak and she would fully agree with you. Very negative mentality (perhaps to do with their history of being an oppressed people) and zero customer service. She thinks the Irish are polar opposites in terms of a positive outlook, friendliness, how we celebrate funerals etc.
Having said that, I have met many nice Slovaks and a few miserable ones too.

Finnish people. Just odd and a bizarre looking bunch, especially the women

05-11-2019 06:37PM

I think Eastern European societies just tend to be dour and by our standards rude, in public life. If you actually talk to the people though they're generally quite friendly in my experience

Finns seem very reserved at first but they can be really friendly and funny.
