The reason that a lot of Europeans think little of Americans isn’t always based on politics. Sometimes the truth hurts a little. When you consider the fact that most Americans who travel to Europe are stupid fat people expecting everyone to speak English and have early bird specials at all the restaurants it’s really no wonder at all. Go to the mall and look around this weekend. Then imagine shipping them off to represent you in Europe or anywhere else and tell me you’re not a little apprehensive. Sorry, folks, don’t shoot the messenger.
Take a look at this jackass.
He checked into a hotel in Germany for the WC and after the game he couldn’t find his hotel. He wandered around for six hours aimlessly with no hope. He didn’t know the name of his hotel or anything else except it was near a park and a Mercedes dealership. Do you know how many Mercedes dealerships are in Germany?
By three in the morning he went to the cops and pleaded for help and they drove him around like a child for two hours looking for his hotel in city of 500,000.
Idiot.
One of my greatest pet peeves is dealing with people who don't have even a rudimentary sense of direction. These people SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED OUT IN PUBLIC without competent supervision, much like a small child. Hell, these people shouldn't even breed.
I had an experience once with a friend of my teenage daughter while taking her home. She had no idea where she lived or on what street (even she had been there two years). I remember remarking to my daughter later (after taking an hour to find where her friend lived) that I didn't think it was possible for a human being as stupid as that to even draw breath.
"Jackass" is too kind.
When we were stationed in Germany, my wife took my baby daughter to the hospital. They immediately put them on a helicopter and medivac'd them to Heidelburg.
That was all the information I got. Hospital in Heidelburg. I assumed it was military, but didn't know for sure.
Two hour drive. Stopped twice for directions to "nearest hospital". Found them in less than an hour after hitting the city limits.
That's why I like Asian countries. Every hooker in every bar in every Asian port city is bilingual.
