Weird Things about Europe

[Kneel B4 Zod]

I like visiting Europe for many reasons. The food can be fantastic, the cities and town pleasent to visit...but most of all, it's b/c people here are generally more civilized than Americans. Not in the "wearing a tuxedo 24/7" sense, but rather in the sense that people here (talking generally about Western Cont. Europe) take longer lunches than we (Americans) do, take longer vacations, works less every day, drink more wine, seem to have less stress...etc etc...people here are just civilized.

However, some things still confuse me, which flies in the face of what I said above. One example: people here are incapable of standing in a line without pushing, shoving, or trying to cut in front of other people. WTF is up with that? It's like NYC in rushhour in every lines you are in.

another thing: showers. below is a picture of the bathtub/shower in the hotel I stayed in.



Notice anything missing?

HOW ABOUT A [censored] SHOWER CURTAIN??

and do you see where you put the showel nozzle?

YOU DON'T! YOU HAVE TO HOLD IT ABOVE YOUR HEAD!!

I've had this same bathroom experience at multiple hotels over here. Holding the shower nozzle while you shower/drench your bathroom in water: not civilived.

if we could somehow combine European civility with American superiority in shower nozzle and curtain technology, we would have an uber-continent on our hands.
