The problem of taking off hats by men at the entrance to rooms and an absolute order for men to stay indoors without a hat is one of the most basic European and Polish standards, taken for granted (such as, for example, standards such as: belching; you must not spit on the floor in the presence of other people; you must not keep your hands in your pockets during conversations, especially with an important person; you must not touch people with whom we are not close friends; do not use vulgar words; do not urinate on your eyes others, etc., etc.).
Being in a room in a hat by a man (if he is not a uniformed officer, he wears a hat for religious reasons) is a sign of extreme disregard not only for moral norms and savoir vivre, but also in European culture a sign of extreme disregard for the institution in which finds and people in this room.
Being in the room by a man in a headdress is also read as a lack of polarity, even roughness or as a manifestation of contempt for European civilization norms.
So in the future, getting used to not taking off your headgear indoors may have serious trouble for you and difficulty moving about in your adult life and career (habit is a second nature of man). You may not be aware of this, which is why you are being rejected.
Savoir vivre textbooks or business etiquette rarely raise this problem, considering its solution obvious (as we will not find in any textbook information that, for example, you can't fart at the table).
In the UK, you have apparently different social classes, I don't know where you come from. In post-war Poland there are no social classes and everyone is required to behave at least at the middle class level.
The same reason why men take off their hats in the room makes us greet each other at the entrance and exit.

It has also to do with national symbols being hang in important places and school rooms, you can't wear hat or hood out of respect for them
What a lie about smoking in Poland. We visit Poland every 2 years. The hotels we stay at, restaurants and places that we visit are so strict about it. Smoking is hospitals is the big No No unless you want to be arrested.
As I clearly stated my experiences were mainly from me living in my 'small city' not Warsaw or the other big ones. So calling what I am saying is a lie, is not very mature thing. You are comparing Simone who stays in Poland to someone who visits twice a year, hmmm.
@@jeevsvlogs9003 Ya ... sorry for our sticking to the details. Some of us, whenever we see something negative or exaggerated about Poland, are very critical. Often such comments are very far from the truth or are intentionally offensive. As a result, some Poles are too sensitive to it.
Thank you very much @Nokidem Mikołajeski
Actually smoking is rather common especially among elderly. Younger people opt for the electronic cigarettes tho. It is very common in like high schools and such. Many high schools even have the designated spot for it called 'palarnia' so if it was like a nurse smoking honestly doesn't surprise me, but it would be looked upon that's probably why she did it in some hallway with windows.
Also I haven't ever seen anyone being actually arested for that. I had people smoke in my face at bus stops more than once.
Yeah, a neutral expression is simply the default face we make. When you see a Pole smiling at you, they're probably enjoying themselves, just heard a funny joke they'd like to share or realized you're wearing your shirt backwards. A smile on display draws your attention and makes you want to ask that person about the reason of their good mood.
On the other hand, smiling in some situations can be seen as inappropriate, impolite or suspicious. It's quite important to wear the right expression depending on the context because people do pay attention to that. It'll help you send a consistent message. My dad reads my face like an open book. He knows when something is on my mind and I don't even have to say a thing.
Oh maaaan, nowadays smoking is not that bad. Be glad you didn't live here during, let's say, the 90s... :'D
Haha very true 😂
Actually we're not the most smoking nation in Europe. There are more smokers in Russia, Ukraine, Czech Rep. (they love beer so a ciggy + beer is a marvelous combination) and even Spain and Portugal smoke more than PL ;)
The second thing is that the situation changed for recent years. Eg. you can't smoke in the public buildings, bus stops (even the open air ones), public transport, trains (it was allowed few years ago, now it's completely forbidden) and most of restaurants where the owner didn't provide a proper ventilation to do the smoking areas.
The straight face part is absolutely true. When I was a little kid and had a holiday trip to Norway I remember being quite shocked when talking to strangers. I was like "holy shit, why everyone is so emotional ? Have I done something ?"
I am Polish and I do not smoke. My whole family doesn't smoke either. Most of my friends don't smoke. But I know heavy smokers. Some have tried to put an end to it. More and more people are choosing a healthy lifestyle.
In Polish we have a phrase meaning rude exit, "he left in English", that is - he left without saying goodbye.
We like to be left alone and for myself ones I get out of work I like to workout and go home and be left alone I hate people bothering me and talking all the time. But we are super conservative with old fashioned manners we always say Hi , Good day and Bye, have a good evening.
Hahahah loved the Content bro, really learned bit of things before actually coming there :)
Haha thanks man, that's the point of my channel, to let everyone know about life in Poland
We just value more being true self than FAKENESS and pleasing others. But we do make a grat TRUE friends.
1:35 As a teenager I was in the throat nose department (laryngology). Cancer patients were smoking.
Yes I can understand that.
When it comes to smoking, what we have in Poland now is a fraction of what it was 30-40 years ago. When I was a kid, at family gatherings the room was so full of smoke that you could "hang an ax in the air"...now no one smokes. 😅
Smoking? Wtf? I do not smoke, nobody in my family smoke and only a few of my friends smoke, except parties i don't smell smoke anywhere...
people in poland smoke very much
@@mr.wyrzykowski7522 Maybe in some pathological neighbourhoods in the cities
@@adamwy.3064 in every part of the city????
They do not smoke a lot
Does the student get paid during work placement during summer vacation?
Great videos. I would like to rent a flat in Biaylstok, because I am starting a 6 year MD course in October 2021. Do all flats come with their own, that is not shared with anyone else Internet? How did you get a flat?
It all depends you can get you own apartment or share it with people
@@jeevsvlogs9003 I want a single person flat. Any tips??
This whole thing with a face is we just don't make unnecessary silly smiles. When we smile it means that we REALLY smile/laugh or just being happy. US/UK concept of smiling without reason is weird. Moreover such fake smiles are suspicious for us. We start to think that such person is retarded or want to cheat us or something like that.
Haha interesting concept
@@jeevsvlogs9003 It's just how it works here. ^^
I completely agree, facial expressions are used to show your mood or intentions, smiling all the time seems to be fake. This same with US "how are you?", i mean that person don't really care how are u fillin, so again being fake and pretending. "Hi, good morning, good bye, have a nice day" is enough.
That's very interesting actually, thanks for sharing 😄
That's very interesting actually, thanks for sharing 😄
Great video. Keep it up Jeev. Proud of you.
Cheers man!
As for hats it goes back to medieval or XVII century times when people took off their hats as a matter of respect for a home owner.
I love the smoke comment! But then from Poland I think France beats us there (there were people smoking in Disneyland!). But then in case of UK itself I also think it changed not that long ago, that is with the ban on smoking indoors - I visited for the first time before that and to me that was smokeland - now it's definitely much better.
Yeah, we don't smile on default (and I have a resting... well, rating murder face so I'd know). You smile when you find something funny, when you're happy, when you're talking. It took some getting used to since I'm the other way around and I went to study in Scotland - though I didn't notice the smiling as much as the, how I'd call it, being almost aggressively nice. I think it boild down both to culture and language itself - in English you generally just add plenty of phrases like "Sorry, excuse me, could you perhaps open the windowif it's not a problem ?" while in Polish if I do that (and it happened a few times) they look at me oddly because really what you need is "Mogłaby Pani/Pan otworzyć okno?" or something like that since the "polite part" is being taken care of by formal third person instead of the rest of the sentence. Granted, I actually like that because in any sort of customer service environment it gets things done quickly - people don't want to be mean to you if you're being presistantly, almost passive-aggresively nice.
The hat thing is true too (and in more European countries as well). But then I'm a woman so that never mattered to me much (although if I went in a hat to class they'd ask everyone to take them off, so I get that). It's just seen as disrespect in some way - I suppose an older custom that died out in the UK perhaps? In general there is much more of decorum in Poland, which I both like and dislike. To bput it bluntly, people dress nicer for common days - in general. I both like it, because that's how I do it being brought up there, but I do like the British approach where it's common to see everyone in sweatpants outside etc. It gives you options. But then on the other hand four years of living there and while I'm happy for other people to do whatever (I have my boundaries and I was cringing at that fellow student who came to lecture in a onesie...) I would not go out like that (well, sweatpants for grocery shopping perhaps, but I'd never wear them to uni for example).
Overall yeah, culture shock sounds grand and large but then it boils down to a lot of those small things you never thought of and never paid attention to. I appreciate it since I think it made me look at why I do certain things and which ones are born from simply where I was raised.
Where did u go in poland iam polish and nothing is like that
You can check my other video.
I'm coming poland in 2020
poland is like that shat
Weren't smiele because our smiles are real not fake
I'm Polish and actually I have the same impression, that Polish people are just like ":(". When I visited my boyfriend last month (in Manchester) I was so shocked that random people are smiling, talking to me, even saying that my makeup looks good
i try to smile a lot but ye im sorry for all polish ppl
In ameriaca your life is good
So you are feling good
In Poland your life can be good but you will still feel like your life is bad with no reson .
( Jeśli ktoś od nas to czyta to już wyjaśniam chodzi mi o takie nasze niezadowolenie z nas samych że zawsze poruwnujemy się do innych i jak widzimy że sa lepsi to Odrazu uznajemy sienie za najgorszych)
Some people don't appreciate what they've, they don't realize how hard their ancestors worked to be free from Communist Russian Regime. What Polish children have now, it didn't exist in the 1950. Embrace what you have, there are people in 3rd World countries that would change places with you, if they were given the opportunity 😉
you realise ur offending poland by (smokeland)
Przestań być przewrażliwiona.
Hey thanks, your video really educate me for coming to Poland to study.....I am planning to study Hotel Management in Poland for my Bachelor are you recommend study this course in Poland? if Yes can you recommend some universities for me Please?? Help me out pleaseeeee!! Btw your new subscriber ✨✨
About smoking is not true...
Type of „harsh face” is mostly caused by the past and sad history of Poland. You must know that Poland is independent country only since 1989 so the situation of the country and people was really hard. Earlier we had a lot of problems caused by WW2 and communism after all. People were living under propaganda and poverty, they were closed for others and people were distrustful. I hope It’s gonna be better in the future because current young generation is growing in freedom with no wars, they are opened for other countries and are learning languages - That’s a hope for change :)
Makes a lot of sense. Thank you very much for sharing History !
what a stupid explanation. Besides, Poland was independent country for 900 years (since 10th century till the end of 18th century), then under Russian-German-Austrian occupation, then independent for 21 years and again under Russian and German occupation (1939-1941), than just under german occupation (1941-1945), then it was one of the satellite states of USSR block(1945-1989) with the biggest amount of freedom among all communist countries in the world (russians liked to say, that Poland is the most cheerfull barack in the whole communist camp). So Poland is not independent only since 1989, and in 1945-1989 it was not sad country at all, even if full of rebellions against communists. The true is, that our culture of fighters doesnt appreciate "empty smiles" for ages.
@@alh6255 It was just fast explanation ;) i know history 'bout my own country but i doubt every foreigner must know it altough.
Cheers man!
@@alh6255 Right. Your culture appreciates "full frowns" instead.
@@topalbano I think a honest face is appreciated. Usually poker (in the beginning there is simply no reason to rejoice or, on the contrary, have a bad mood at the sight of someone who is little known or while walking on the street), but very often smiling after getting to know each other. The Polish face, however, is also often ironic - but these are the effects of a sense of humor typical for Poles.
Aw trochę boli
😂😂😂😂
I don’t agry whith you about most things I live in poland and nothing is like that😐
really? funny thing, i also live in poland and agree with everything he said :)
