I don’t think the French know what a queue is.

@sdm@social.taker.fr have you ever seen the Italian interpretation of the concept? 8-D

@oblomov@sociale.network @sdm@social.taker.fr Italian queues are actually heaps
dezi@sdm@social.taker.fr
@oblomov@sociale.network oh yes i have and i struggle to think which is worse.

@sdm@social.taker.fr italians are at least conscious about it, have you seen Bruno Bozzetto animation about IT vs EU?

@oblomov@sociale.network the pedestrian crossing is the most true of all of them. i took my (danish) partner to rome and i was like "ignore the crosswalks and the little walking man, just do your best". it was very difficult for him.

@sdm@social.taker.fr @oblomov@sociale.network I think I may not be really Italian because when I bought my car I wanted a SMALLER model and not a bigger one and I actually enjoy letting pedestrians cross the road (although I wish they would use the crossing and whatch where th they're going)
Oblomov@oblomov@sociale.network
@sdm@social.taker.fr we're a bit too free on that, but IMO other countries are a bit too uptight about it. I was nearly (fined? arrested? don't know) in Berlin for crossing with a red light in the park at the foot at the angel thingie. I looked both ways, there was no car in sight anywhere, with full view all around me, and crossed. I didn't even realize there was (1) a traffic light and (2) two cops on the other side, because I was focused on looking for vehicles.

@oblomov@sociale.network yeah germany is strict on that but france is not; i cross on red in front of cops all the time.

@Zambunny@livellosegreto.it @oblomov@sociale.network i thought italians loved zipping around in their little fiats?

Once I was at a red light downtown Koblenz.
Since there was not a single car on the road, I pushed the "Nur für Blinde" button to cross with the green.
An old gentleman started to rebuke me, and I replied (in Italian) "Scusi, non parlo tedesco" 😄
Oblomov@oblomov@sociale.network
@GustavinoBevilacqua@mastodon.cisti.org @sdm@social.taker.fr that's basically how it went for me with the cops. They checked my ID, and I'm pretty sure they just let me with go with a stern taking to because I was Italian.

@sdm@social.taker.fr @Zambunny@livellosegreto.it it's a bit more complicated:

@oblomov@sociale.network @GustavinoBevilacqua@mastodon.cisti.org it really depends. i've crossed on red in germany a few times, but you have to be strategic...and obviously not in front of cops.
Zambunny@Zambunny@livellosegreto.it
@oblomov@sociale.network @sdm@social.taker.fr Many years ago they did, because all cars were small anyway. Now everybody and their mother seems to need an ugly ass giant SUV that they can't even park properly anyway. I hate them with a passion.
