Hello everyone, and welcome to my channel. Today I’m talking about “12 Ways to annoy the Dutch”. We will be exploring the quirks of the Dutch culture and how it influences people in the Netherlands daily.
The Dutch are known for their love of organization and efficiency; however, they also have certain things they don't particularly enjoy or take part in due to cultural reasons.
So, if you have ever been interested in learning more about what doesn't make your traditional dutchman tick, stick around this is going to be an interesting journey!
1. Not being punctual
Everyone knows about the Dutch and their love for punctuality. It's common knowledge that if you don't show up on time in The Netherlands, you'd better watch out! If there is one sure fire way to annoy a Dutch person, it is by not being punctual. It is surely one of the surefire ways to annoy the Dutch.
The Dutch are known for their adherence to schedules and finding someone cutting it close or running late can be enough to drive them mad. Whether at business meetings or social gatherings, being on time isn't just encouraged—it's expected. Don't even think about showing up two minutes after the appointed time because you might as well have been two hours late instead!
2. Small talks
One of the easiest ways to annoy the Dutch is to do small talks. While it might be commonplace in other cultures, the Dutch prefer to skip straight to the point and avoid chit chat as much as possible. So, if you start blabbering on about something inane while they are expecting an answer – get ready for some serious sideeye!
The truth is that small talk can be seen by many Dutch people as shallow and time consuming two things they don't appreciate very much at all. They would rather discuss more substantial topics instead of wasting time talking about the weather or recent happenings in celebrity gossip magazines.
Small talk isn't conducive to meaningful conversations and just doesn’t fit with their values of efficiency and directness; it's perceived as idle chatter that has no real purpose or value.
3. Don’t flaunt
Now anyone familiar with Dutch culture knows they're all about keeping it simple and humble. So, it's no surprise that when someone comes around bragging and making a show of themselves, they are less than impressed. It seems like such behaviour goes against their traditional values of modesty and hard work over extravagance.
Plus, Dutch people don't like feeling as if someone is trying out compete them or make them look bad by comparison – so needless to say flaunting is a surefire ways to annoy the Dutch.
So, remember: If you want to fit in next time, you head over to Deutschland keep calm, be humble, and avoid any actions which could be perceived as 'Vuilspelen'(being obnoxious).
