Which Dutch person leaves their shoes on in their house after walking through a muddy forest lmao, we're not dumb
taking your shoes off is so terribly bourgeois...!
I mean we do walk with shoes in our homes, but not when they are covered in mud.
I don't wear shoes in my house but I never ask my guests to take off theirs and I don't really like it when my host asks me to take off mine i his house.
We never do that some ppl but ppl in other countries also do that
M J not me
Those Canadian girls must be confusing our toilet stalls with Americal stalls. Here there are no gaps!
Nou sommige wel
Exactly what I was about to say.
The ironic part is that in Canada the toilet gaps are the exact same as in America.
I have no idea what those 2 are on about 🤷🏻♂️
I know right! That’s what I was thinking. Perhaps some toilets have them, but DEFINITELY no gaps in the sides lol.
Having spent some time in Canada for work I can definitely say that stalls in the US and Canada are a lot worse. They quite often start like 30 cm from the floor and end at like 170, so when you stand up you look over them, and you have like 1 inch gaps on both sides. Sure, some stores or restaurants have that here as well, but it is a small fraction. Most just have a wall all around the toilet and an actual door.
It feels like home when I hear this. Every morning licking my mayonnaise knife while I'm sitting on my toilet preparing my lunch with my shoes on.
😂😂
serpent035 precies
Hahahahahha
LMAO REALLY LMAO
i laughed so hard at this, that's the sense of humor they said was required. well done you
I am dutch, and with like 80% of the things I hear in this vid I was like "what? that's not normal wtf"
A sink in your room?
Like what?
I had a friend who had a sink in their room and i was jealous because; “They can just get water at any time and they DONT have to go to the bathroom!?!? GENIUS!!”
@John Jansen the more you know
Yes, Dutch were always about being so clean; even scrubbing their sidewalks.
I used to live in the Netherlands and had a sink in one of my bedrooms. Despite the advantage of being able to brush your teeth and go straight to bed, it just didn't feel right. 😃
The wide gaps in restrooms is a USA thing, not in the Netherlands.
I've seen it here maybe a couple of times, but it's not normal or 'dutch'. It's much more common in the US.
The restrooms at my school are completly closed from top to bottem
Those stalls where you can see your feet and such, are often older stalls in need of renovation. But go to for example the ns public rooms, they're all closed off, which is a norm. I rarely see/run into stalls with gaps and such.
Yeah strange that a girl from Canada would say that. That's an American thing (presuming she's been there), not a Dutch thing.
It is also a big thing in Canada!
Live in The Netherlands for 7 years and non of this statements applies to the everyday reality .
Ilona Netherlands - Canada inderdaad
er klopt niks van deze video
Ik zeg wel altijd dat ik gwn naar de wc ga
Youve spoken tyy
I’ve lived here the entirety of my life and all of this is very true 😂
Netherlands doesn’t have stalls that you can see through. That’s the usa.
Im dutch and I have the feeling these girls havent even met dutch people... (3:47)
As a Canadian, you meet TONS of Dutch people here, but I never had their weird experience with meeting anyone from the Netherlands.
A big problem is that a lot of foreigners seem to stick with other foreigners in places designed for foreigners... that could be the case here
You're probably right. These comments of these people are a good way of getting your face, and opinions on camera, without knowing what they're really talking about.
Mayonnaise on rice?... Never seen that. And I agree that licking your knife and then put it in the jar again is disgusting. Both are not normal here though (luckily)
My Dutch fiance uses mayonnaise on everything what he has for dinner, rice,pasta,potatoes... Everything!!😂
I only now they put mayonnaise on sushi with salmon or tuna on top.
Mayo on rice is a Japanese thing, never seen a Dutch person do that.
Lmao this reminds me of a story. A couple months ago I had a sleepover with like 5 other people and we where eating icecream, and some girl asked me if I could give her more icecream and without realizing I just licked the ice spoon and placed it in the icecream bin and gave het some icecream with that spoon. Just automatically..... whoops. 🇳🇱🔥

These Canadian girls, I don’t know where they have been in the Netherlands but it’s not relatable
100% they have been in a old dirty coffeeshop smoking🚬some
grass🌿.
Achterhoek i think.
i feel like the shoes thing is only for guests, like if we have a party everyone keeps shoes on and then we just clean after that but when we are home alone we always take shoes off. also mayonnaise here tastes different, ive heard its sweeter instead of other more sour mayonnaise.
I may well be prejudiced,but I think the dutch mayonnaise is far superior to anywhere else in the world. And even better is the
Frites Saus. I could live of that, except i'm not supposed to eat that really due to excessively high cholesterol levels and Blood pressure problems. I'm actually resident in the UK, but everytime I go home to holland, I allow myself as a special treat one huge portion of patates met frites saus. Just the ONE portion, but it DOES make my time back home complete. Naturally though, I don't approve of licking the knife, etc and as for walking through the house with shoes on. Forget it. The pantoffels,( ie slippers) stand by the front door as you come in and you don't enter the rest of the house till you're wearing slippers or if you're not, yourl ife's not worth living for the rest of the day.
@@lizb853 We can't eat fresh mayonnaise in the states because our eggs are so filthy that they will give us salmonella.
I’m dutch and lived in the US for a few months, and I actually thought the stalls there were sooo weird because the gaps between the doors were big and you could see who was sitting on the toilet. Never had that in the Netherlands before so it’s funny the girls from the US are saying this about the Netherlands 😆
I have never in my 41 years in the Netherlands seen through a toilet stall. Though when i was in the US that was the case in every single toilet i came across. They must be realy confused.
I am thinking the same thing!
They're from Canada maybe that's why. I've seen some stalls with those gaps here, usually cheap ones, but it's usually a full enclosed space
it's mostly in pools, museums and schools for me. places that want to build cheap. that is in the netherlands. i think if you're young you'll encounter them more..
I lived in Canada for a bit, this is exactly what I thought! The gaps in washroom stalls are so big there
The dutch stalls are the best in the world🤣. They are completely closed
in some places.
Right Wing Radio nah, in most places, can’t remember the last time I have seen an open toilet in the Netherlands
@@calvinnl2451 You went to the toilet in all 12 provenances?
@@RightWingRadioShow u didn't?
Not at schools and cinemas
Okay, I am Dutch, and I definitely wanna react to this hehe. Here it goes.
1: I do lick my fingers after eating some good stuff :) Like, if I ate ice cream or something (which I don't do much because I'm eating very healthy). But this definitely ain't because I want every penny out of it. It is more, because I like the ice cream I ate, but even more, because I hate sticky fingers! After that I will wash my hands of course, because even licking my fingers doesn't get all the sticky stuff off.
2: I never, ever, EVER put my knife inside a jar of anything, and then lick it, and put it inside another jar. It's gross AF!!! I use my knife to put butter on my bread or my rusk, then I wash it, with hot water (the butter melts off itself). Then I dry it, and only then I put it in the jar of jam or something. If I want another rusk or slice of bread (or if I have to make two at the same time) I always wash the knife before I re use it. I do lick it sometimes, but after that I first have to wash it. You know hopw many germs are inside your mouth? No, I never ever lick my knife, and re use it. It is gross indeed. I also never use it, and just swipe it clean on my bread/rusk and re use it. It has to be washed first! Or I'll grab a new knife.
3: I do keep my shoes on in the house, yes. But when I came from a muddy place, and there's mud under my J's. I always take them off. So this is not true. Most people take them off. And I'm not sure what she means with ''white floors''?! If it is carpet, well, the person walking with muddy shoes over a white carpet is just weird. But if you have a white floor because of white flagstones. It's easy to clean, just a little water and a mop, and you're done. But then again, most people do take their shoes off when there's mud under it.
4: I do wash my hands after a toilet visit. But there's indeed people, who don't. It's pretty gross indeed. But I don't think it's a typical Dutch thing. This happens all over the world.
5: Most houses are put together that way that they have the toilet close to the entrance. It's a normal thing here. Especially if you're in a regulat attached rent house. You can do it differently when you buy a house of build your own house. I mean, I had some people I knew who lived in a villa district, and they definitely didn't have the toilets at the entrance. But it's a pretty normal and common thing in the Netherlands. Also, it's probably because houses in the Netherlands are way smaller than the houses in US! I mean, we pay a whopping €200.000 for a regular small attached house here with 4 rooms (3 sleeping rooms and a living room) and one toilet, a small shower and a very small front and backyard. In USA you could buy a huge detached house with a big ass drive up, 8 rooms, 4 bathrooms and so on. It's a huge difference.
6: In the Netherlands people do have a bidet. And some do use toilet paper with water on it to clean it a bit more. So this statement is false. Not everyone has it though. And if I could choose myself, I probably would want a bidet hehe, just to make things easier for myself. But I don't have one, and I couldn't care less. I just wipe with toilet paper. And if needed, a few drops of water. After that, I'll obviously wash my hands with soap (which I always do)
7: I think we used to have a sink in one of our bedrooms. But the last owner removed it. I'm not sure why, but I also don't know why we would have a sink in our bedroom. Especially if it would drip, I would go bananas and won't be able to sleep with that lol. It's weird. But I actually also do not know anyone who has a sink in they rooms.
8: I don't understand what the guy says @02:22 :/
9: Yes, we are pretty direct. Going to the toilet (or, the WC) ain't no secret at all I guess. Everyone knwos what you're gonna do if you're going away from the table for a moment haha.
10: I only put my bag on the floor when inside. I won't do it outside, because I don't want it to get dirty. I mean, if it was a regular bag or something, but I also have a pretty expensive bag (€200) which is a gaming backpack, and I definitely ain't putting that on the floor.
11: Picking they nose (in je neus peuteren) is world wide. Everyone does this every now and then. Yes, sometimes I do this too, but that's mostly because there's something inside which annoys me. After that, I wash my hands. Or I do it with a piece of paper towel. But I only pick my nose when blowing my nose ain't working, and it needs to get out. It's annoying. I rather don't pick my nose. I also do know some people, who pick they noses, and eat their loot after that... And this is just disgusting! Sorry, no other words for it. Don't touch me anymore when you do this please lol.
12: Having sex is great obviously :) But please, keep it in a private place lol. Although, I did do some weird and exciting stuff with my ex back in the days. I won't go into detail haha, but I can tell ya, it was fun. And of course we made sure no one could see us. Because no one will be happy if they dwould've seen this. (It was dark, and trees everywhere, so no one could see it)
13: I often eat my food (I never eat uitsmijter though) as whole as possible. Most people for example cut they pizza in 12 slices. I rather make only 4 slices and eat it like that haha. It's all personal I guess what you prefer.
14: ''Sinterklaas'' and his helpers throw ''kruidnoten'' over the ground. Indeed kids obviously grab it, and eat it. I've done this back in the days, but it was always inside the house. If they threw it outside, I wouldn't have grabbed it in the first place. I don't eat off the ground outside lol, it's nasty.
15: I do eat mayonnaise, but I don't really like it that much. I do use it on my fries, and I also use it on some foods. But not on rice. It's weird. I did use ketchup and mayonnaise on my rice back in the days. But I rather have a good hot sauce on it hihi. I love hot sauce!
Hope it was interesting to read this. You guys are great, and you, who reads this. YEAH YOU!!! You are a great wonderful person too. Love you all! Peace out, wherever you're from.
@PRG Duidelijk en helder verhaal mate 👌🏼
Alleen in punt 8, je begreep echt niet waar hij het over had, of was dat cynisch bedoeld?
Pynt 4, je wil niet weten hoe vaak ik heb mee gemaakt bij een kantoor pand of een restorant dat ik naar wc ga, ff wachten want de toilet is bezet... dan komt iemand der uit een gaat zo verder zonder de moeite te nemen zijn handen te wassen, echt goor!!! Ik krijg altijd de neiging om ernaar te roepen hun handen te wassen, maar altijd mijn mond braaf gehouden, lol ;)
@@TheGentilable Loooooool thanks mate ;) Appreciate that.
I don't actually know why I said that at point 8 though. He talkin' about the callendar in the toilet. I'm trying to understand my own post, why I typed that. It must be a wrong timestamp I guess. Because I do understand what he is sayin' obviously. I have no clue why I typed that. So it's a mystery even to me :')
Yeah, people do use the bathroom and walk out without washin' they hands. It's pretty weird if they do that. I always have this weird line going through my mind when I see people walk out of the toilet without washin' their hands, and it goes like this; ''okay, the first one giving this dude a handshake, is kinda shaking hands with the dudes penis''. I mean, first he touches his penis (probably, because, well, it helps you aim lol). And then he walks out, without washin' his hands... Ewww! I kinda feel lucky that the Rona has made it like this, that we ain't allowed to shake hands anymore haha. You never know when you're actually touching someones penis in their hands :P

@@stuffffstuf9566 c'est normaal
I'm an American (USA), now living in the Netherlands. I'm confused by some things in this video but the main one is the stalls here have absolutely no gaps in them, or maybe a few cm if anything. Compared to USA and Canada where there's literally like a 30cm gap in every public stall.
Watch it again. You’ve got it backwards. I had to play it again myself, because I was briefly confused. The girl says “And here the stalls are different” and talks about the big gaps. The “here” is Canada not the Netherlands. She’s a Canadian talking about how big the gaps are for her stalls, not the Dutch stalls.
@@capricer9799 maybe, but I'm quite certain these videos are made with Bart de Pau at his on-site learning classes in Amsterdam.
30cm gaps? you're on something lol. they're not more than like half a centimeter at most in the US.
@@alext552 im born and raised in the USA, 30cm is equal to about 1 foot. And every public toilet literally has that huge gap from the floor. And maybe a 1 inch gap on the side of the doors.
DaveRay ooh i thought you meant the gap between the doors, not the gap between the floor and the bottom of the stalls, my bad.
Just a quick reminder: Not everyone in our country does all those things. I think in my family, we don't do any of those things actually
me too
Deze mensen komen alleen in Amsterdam, daar wonen alleen nog maar junkies, de rest is niet eens Nederlander meer.
Same and ppl in other countries also do that
@@peterakerman2608 dat is zeker waar
So friend of mine who is very Dutch; shows these traits but he is obsessive compulsive on cleanliness so everything is just so but the culture comes throught all the same. Dutch live without curtains....everything is for everyone to know.
I am Dutch almost everything they have mentioned I have never experienced before. Only the thing about not using water after using the toilet to clean yourself (which is the case in alot of western countries , having the toilet near the entrance and having a calendar in the bathroom. And maybe about leaving your bag on the floor
Haha I like how many people are like: yeah the Dutch people are weird cus this one person did this, so everyone must do it 😂
Dit dus! (Bijna) seks op straat is echt Nederlands 😬 vreemd
The part about stalls is simply not true. In the US you can pretty much see other peoples parts. Here, a normal toilet in a restaurant or such is just closed. Sure, with festivals you have the pee poles but that is just convenient..
I still hope they'll invent proper (and privacy-safe) pee-poles for the ladies one day.
Yes - surely this was Canadians talking about Canada?
Ik weet niet met wat voor mensen ze omgaan of waar ze als gast verblijven, maar ik hoor heel veel ongemanierde dingen die voor een beschaafde Nederlander niet normaal zijn. Niet echt iets typisch Nederlands dus.
Echt he. Wie likt een mes schoon en dipt hem daarna in een andere pot?! Wtf

@@ramin7143 ikr? Like. Excuse me. Do you want in detail how I am about to take a shit?
It's interesting to hear, but so many things aren't actually viewed as normal in the Netherlands and aren't all that common. Licking off your knife and then using it for something else? Expect to be told off and people not using whatever that knife has been in. Walking around the house in muddy shoes? Again, you'll be told off and vacuuming duties are for you for that day 😂.
Again, it's an interesting video, but it really doesn't apply to the common Dutch person
Lord Hypnocat klopt, echt Fking raar
You lick the knife when no ones around, everybody does it. Even these stuck up dudes.
@@dadikkedude Filthy people do that in a shared household. Like, licking off the knife and then putting it in the dishwasher or in the sink, that's pretty normal. But putting it back in the jar is just disgusting.
@@Henry_Jr_Watsson it's not going to kill you. This obsession with germs and filth is pretty weak. Still I won't force it down someone's throat if I lived in a shared house.
Sam W
Putting your own saliva into a container of something isn’t good, even if no one else has access to your kitchen. In a family household, double dipping your chips or something isn’t unheard of, but contents are usually not in the container and have been transferred to a bowl. Kids get in trouble for drinking out of jugs in the fridge because they aren’t conscious of their back wash, and even adults aren’t completely immune from this. It’s not about germs, it’s about food/drink storage.
3:49 what are you talking about?! In America the restrooms have stalls with huge gaps in between. That was the first thing all dutch people notice when they go to usa!
I think we’re just too direct for most people. If we have to poop we have to poop, why be mysterious about it
Why would you tell that somebody 😅 thats weird. Just go and do it no need to go in details
As a dutch person i can honestly say most of them are so true. The shoes in the house is a big no for me, i never do or did this. If i walk in someone’s house i always ask where to put my shoes and if they say just leave them on i feel oncomfortabel. Alot of dutch people walk with their shoes in the house even when there is mud on it, i will never understand this. I never saw a sink in someone’s bedroom. Never in my entire life. For being so open about going to the toilet is so true, it’s so normal to us it almost sound unbelievable they don’t do that🤣 as for cutting the meat in pieces and then eat it, i never saw an adult do this. For the mayonnaise im kinda offended, we really put it on everything. It’s a sauce I honestly can’t live without and poke bowl with mayonnaise is for me the best rice you can ever taste. I eat mayonnaise with fries, and all types of patatoes, i put mayonnaise in my spinach and mash it under my patatoes. I put it on sushi, i put it on pasta with tuna. I never saw a dutch person in my life that didn’t like mayonnaise
It's because your food is so gross you actually need mayonnaise on everything to make it edible.
Like you use the worst species of potatoes to make fries with. They are all bitter and have a funky aftertaste. Also the texture is just crap.
The best tasting Dutch fries (aviko) use potato starch. It's embarrassing.
I'm dutch too and for us it is normal that you ask if you can keep your shoes on in the house. When I was younger everybody would take their shoes/boots/klompen off. But were in the rural district, that's probably different. And about the mayonnaise... here in the Betuwe we eat appelmoes (a sort of apple sauce) with everything, no mayonaise.
licking your knive is not something i see other dutch people approve off. disgustang...
i always take off my shoes but it's considered impolite to ask visitors to take off their shoes here.
i just put my shoes off there i see shoes and if i dont see them then i ask 'where can i put my shoes off''
"but it's considered impolite to ask visitors to take off their shoes here."
never heard tthat one, i am dutch though.
what i always do if i come somewhere is looking if they have floor carpet and if they themselves have shoes on
I usually just look at the the bottom of my shoes, if they're muddy or filthy I take them off, if they're clean and I'm not asked to take them off I leave them on
Just ask the owner of the house if you need to take your shoes off.
You take your shoes off in my house. It's not impolite to ask, but it more or less speaks for itself if I take them off myself.
A lot of the things in this video sounds like they saw someone do it once. About half of the things in the video were not “Dutch”.
as a Dutch I can't rely to any of those strange and disgusting things ..maybe they need to find other friends 😂
I live in South Africa with a huge population from Dutch descent (Afrikaners). It is fascinating to see in this video what habits we share with the Dutch, and what we have managed to unlearn. In some cases we're even split between people who have these habits and people who don't.
E.g. very few people don't wash their hands, but no Afrikaner takes their shoes off in the house. I guess no one wants to see someone else's feet.
Why do the dutch people call themselves Afrikaners? They aren't African, they European..?
So funny that most they mention are gross for Dutch people too, or are common all over the world. But, we have less taboos i guess. I am not harmed when someone says that he or she goes to the toilet.
We do not feel shame telling we go to the toilet, just because we know it’s a normal healthy body function for human beings...so why feeling ashamed. Telling people what your produce looked like at the bottom of the toilet is however not done here of course 😂
Also i 'think we tell so somebody knows how long you' ll be gone. Time is money, just a pee, somebody is back in a minute or 2. Poop, okay ill start the dishes or check my email. 🤣
Cynthia Molenaar it is amongst some people but usually they are close friends who just want to be memelords and they are like doing a who”s shite is longer contest 😂 but when someone says they are going to the toilet i don’t see why that’s disgusting because to me it’s better to tell me than to just walk off as i’ll just think why did they just walk off where did they go?.
Yeah same, in Sweden it's completely normal to shout "I'm gonna take a shit" and everyone is like "okay, good luck, have a blast".
A long time ago on a voyage we were in a group with different nationalities ,there was a Dutch guy , who was cald "le chnoc " by the french speaking Belgians ; On a moment he said : " Nou jongens , ik ga een flinke pot scheiten ! " An other day he said : " Ik moet effe mijn ruggegraat gaan verlengen met zo'n 30 cm ! " That was before we knew each other seriously .
When ur dutch and u see this vid : •_•
i see this now and im dutch but some things are really true but not all, sorry for my english
Licking the knife was the most disgusting thing according to me. I’ve never done that and I’m Dutch. Sometimes I see other people do it and it freaks me out.

Omg so agree with the shoes thing. I hate it! But I have to defend the Dutch people regarding the bidets. I have been living in 5 different countries so far and no one had it in their houses and trust me no one washed his "thing" after using the toilet every time.

@@fleximanbayeva Also in Italy and Japan
I think all asians and Mediterranean people wash it with soap and water,and then pat dry with toilet paper. I cant imagine how they can leave it just with toilet paper. I think that's also for Americans and British people I'm guessing.
We use mostered toiletpapier in the house but public area the dont have that. Thats why i dont do number 2 outside my own house
None of the bedrooms in my house have a sink.
sterker nog, I've never seen a bedroom with a sink before (except for hotels)
I had one in my old house. The house was built in 70s so it must be a thing from back than.
@@melvingamer Probably.
This is typical for old houses. In the past people would not bath/shower on a daily basis, but quickly freshen up at the sink after sleeping. Times change.
Ik had er een in mijn studentenkamer en vond het superhandig. En fris, omdat niemand aan je tandenborstel kwam.
The calendar in the toilet is traditionally a perpetual one, listing birthdays. Nothing weird about that.
Handy, and before Facebook:)
I'm dutch but fully agree that the dutch should stop these disgusting behaviours:
- shoes in the house
- licking the knife (and re-using it)
- public toilets for men and women are just not private enough
- spitting in public
- kissing dogs, keeping them inside the house
- not washing hands, hair nor shower every day
- licking fingers in public
- acting gay in public
Okay, now I'm curious: do you commenters have a calendar in your toilet?
I have 🙋♀️
I have 1 in every room 😂
Yes! One for birthdays and one that’s a “scheurkalender”, on which you can rip off a page every day and it has jokes, quotes, fun facts etc on it
@@StanLoona-sg4fm just to be sure 😉
@@adrianameyer1848
Herkenbaar! Ik heb ook een verjaardagskalender en soms een scheurkalender erbij. Welke heb je? Ik heb meestal de kalender van 'taalvoutjes', erg grappig!😁
I don't. That has always struck me as odd. Plus, the verjaardagskalenders last for ever, so they're boring too. They get old and hang there for decades …. eeeeew.
Totally unreal
Nou echt
Not totally but some things are unreal indeed
Consider this: it is considered rude to take off your shoes when visiting other people's homes, because you'd be exposing everyone in the room to your smelly feet.
Besides, not many visitors would go tramping through a muddy forest before visiting someone's house. It's bad form.
After all, that's what the doormats are for; to clean those shoes before entering.
The canadian girls must have been high when recording this, because they’re obviously talking about a different country.
Mayonaise on the rice? Hahahahaha where he saw that? Hahaha not here in Holland
He is right, i got a pokeball at a museum cafeteria in amsterdam. It had mayo over the rice for sure. I am Dutch, I like mayo, but certainly not over everything. It should always be separate, unless it is part of the name. E.g. patatje mayo
@@lennertbruin5513 maybe it was a kind of lime mayo to complement the fish? Otherwise I don't get it either haha
Had some suhsi in Utrecht. Jeb; mayonaise for sure. (But i like it)
Sorry but japanese people love mayonaise more than dutch people... pokebowls kaarage and a lot more things use kewpie mayo. pokebowls being hawaiian fusion probably take a bit from wasabi mayo which is wasabi and kewpie mayo.
In the Netherlands we don't really eat rice, unless we try to make Asian food
Who puts mayonnaise on rice? That's gross, indeed. Mayonnaise itself is delicious tough!
Leon Kerkdijk it’s a sushi/pokebowl thing. Japanese mayonnaise exists: kewpie. :)
Sorry Leon, maar ïk vind het de ergste spul die er bestaat - Uug 🤮 🤮
@@MrGregHiller Mag ik vragen waar je vandaan komt?
You can put mayo on rice or patatoes or whereeveryou want it's your taste.
Mr. Aaron USA, some countries put ketchup on everything.... now that is normal? Lol
I'm Dutch and most of these things we don't do actually except these few people who don't care about hygiëne and those kind of people live in every country.......
A sink in a room. That's something that got into use in the early 20th century, when running water in house became common.
It is however typical for rooms for lodgers and a remnant of the 1950s / 1960s when there was a severe housing shortage and a lot of people had lodgers in their home.
I don't wear shoes inside my home.
Maar vele mensen doen dat wel though
I do, but i make sure they are clean.
Ik soms. Maar meestal niet. Ik doe het alleen als ik terug kom en vlak daarna weer weg ga
Oof ik doet het gewoon wel, maar als mijn schoenen echt vies zijn niet
I do and I don’t know a place I have to putt my shoes off
Licking your fingers off is totally fine in The Netherlands.
I thought even Mohammed said it was appropriate to lick your fingers clean after your meal.
But maybe I heard wrong.
I'm not an expert on Islam.
And I noticed in Spain nooooobody does it. So I think it’s quite dutch
I’m Dutch. A couple of things spoken of in the video I don’t recognize, others give me anxiety. Some I do recognize and I changed (f.e. shoes on in the house and not using water in the restroom). I changed those habits in adulthood and it’s been so much better for hygiene! Especially not being able to use water in the restroom when I’m not home got me feeling disgusting.
Note: my husband is a Belgian (French part) and Asian mix, so I was definitely influenced by those two cultures! 🚿 🥿 🥾
What Kind of Asian may I ask?
Why would cutting up the uitsmijter into little pieces be disgusting? Would Christian from USA rather eat it with his hands and have runny egg yolk running down his fingers? smh
I don't know where these people were in the Netherlands? But, I know for a fact that they have mud rooms and they do take their shoes off, or where they have gone to restrooms? All the rest rooms I used out in public had doors or stalls were you couldn't see what the other person was doing.. or washing there hands!? Come on people? And almost having sex in pubic... He even said he thought they were drunk? I'm sure that happens in other countries too. And I'm sure you there are people in other countries that don't wash there hands! And what is so bad about Dutch Mayonnaise? I lived it! My adopted Dutch family must have taken me to the right places.. Every country has weird things that they do that others think is weird or disgusting..! ! I find the Dutch culture fascinating! From their toilets, to using Dutch mayo, to everything in between.. I always watch your videos.. And I find them funny. but this one was a bit Stupid.. This is just my opinion.
@Pero Djetlić Leave the french of of this discussion .. please !!!
:-)
(sorry i my english isn t perfect)
These things aren 't common.. makes me a bit sad and i think it s even a bit rude that these people say things like that : ( .. i think every country has people that do disgusting/ weird things. (it s really not normal to make out on the streets or something.. or lik your knife and put it in a jar??? : o .. not in other countries and so not here! ) :o
(apart from some technical/ practical things that are just dífferent in other countries, like where the toilet is in the house. Like i was in england en i think it s unpractical if there is only 1 toilet in the house and it s also upstairs in the bathroom.. but that are just dífferences).
The funny part ab
"" excuse me for one minute" "ppl aint gonna ask what u gonna do "" that's not true dutch ppl asking exactly what u gonna do? If u are saying Excuse me for a minute 😂😂😂😂
Exactly! if i were to say "excuse me for a moment", they would ask what i was doing.
@@jasminemank1501 yeah right 😂😂😂we are curious
He meant in his culture people will not question you when you say ''excuse me'' because it is obvious they are being polite about going to the toilet.
I am pretty sure he was not implying that a Dutch person would not question your ''excuse me'' because in my experience most Dutch people will do this.
@@POWMAJ Also because leaving the dinner table just like that is not 'gezellig'. 😀😛
Yea, see, I know what my friends' feet smell like. There's no way I let them take off their shoes at my place.
The mayonnaise thing is so true - I really enjoy mayonnaise and it's everywhere! Also, the licking the knife makes me shudder, you don't lick your knife and stick it into another pot! You wipe the knife on the bread, you only lick the knife if you don't plan on putting it in any more pots!
indeed and you throw the knife in the sink or the dishwasher so you wont use that one for other things
Makes me wonder where these people stay or who they hang out with. I don't recognize most of the things they listed. Except the shoes maybe. But i happen to think that when you come from an intense sweaty bike ride which is very common i rather have shoes walking on my floor than sweaty socks. Also the toilet situation at festivals is true but what do you expect. A lot of funny conversations happen there.
You guys DO know that keeping the shoes on keeps them sweatier for longer do you?
Actually i suspect you don't. But trust me, you're not doing your feet a favour by keeping the shoes on indoors. That's how you get trench foot.
@@RobotronSage Yes, but if you have trench foot/ athletes feet, it is more polite to keep the footfungus & -spores to yourself than infect the place you are visiting.
Do not polute.
btw I never wear shoes in the house if I can help it :) (my feet are very clean and healthy)
What’s the Russian girl talking about with the sink in your room being the moist bringer and the drop by drop? I don’t understand. Which room? Bedroom?
Actually every sushi restaurant I know uses mayonnaise. The rice is sticky and the chefs put mayonnaise on their plastic gloves so the rice wont stick. Also in some rolls there is just mayonnaise inside. Its normal as far as I'm concerned.
As a Dutch person I can tell I really don't relate to ANY of this topics. Such a weird video
OK, as a Dutchman I can say that this collection of filthy habits is not representative of all of us. The only one you guys mentioned that I am 'guilty' off is the peeing stalls at festivals. But that's just cause they are pretty damned handy. :-)
I swear I'm so jealous of that! We woman always have to wait for 3 hours in and after that you have to be happy with the grossest shit you ever have to see and smell and it's almost impossible not to touch something 😭 so jump on a piss-star and just hang your lad out and wee away without having to touch any old disgusting toilet.
(sorry for my rant) 😅
I hope the Dutch stay just as they are.
What does the half-Dutch guy say at 2:23? I can't make it out.
I come from Italy and I can assure you that saying "I'm going to the restroom" is a very normal thing.
I understood a few things...
1.These people had a lot of different experiences that aren't standard.
2.I do all of those weird things sometimes.
3.I come from a long where all of that is considered disgusting.
To add to the list, one of the thing I hate the most in The Netherland... In festival or in any dorp feetje (village party? / Village gathering) : drinking beers in plastic cup and throwing the plastic cup on the ground. And they make a point of it! Like "look! I'm throwing my cup on the ground... Time to have another beer".
I don't know in big cities, but it's like that all over Brabant. Open air concert start at 09:00, you walk on plastic cup at 09:03 ....
RRRrrrrrrrrr !!
I think you mean dorp feest(je) :) Just missed the letter 's'.
It’s changing now. At a lot of feestjes you have to pay for your first hard plastic cup and if you don’t throw it out you can just exchange it for a new drink in a hard plastic cup
Brabant really belongs to Belgium, so there's that.
Hetzelfde geldt voor bijna iedereen die rookt. Het is blijkbaar normaal je afgedankte sigaretten op straat te gooien. Dat je er zelf voor kiest om een verslaving te hebben, prima. Maar val daar anderen niet mee lastig in de vorm van meeroken of je afval op straat te gooien.
@@XxKamaelxX ga lekker janken zeikstraal
6:00 The Japanese like their mayonnaise, that was probably the inspiration for this pokebowl.
As a 50 years old Dutch, I was surprised by many things they said. Probably I was blind and deaf in the last 50 years.
I am dutch and I too am disgusted by most of these!
Is it bad to say I've seen all of this and then some in NYC?
5:42 idk why but I laughed so hard at this “small cookies” 😂😂
1:30 'even if you don't use soap' lol I can't stand that. People give themselves the feeling of being good and clean while they don't use soap because of laziness, they are just as gross or even worse, you aren't cleaning or washing shit away with only water and now they have touched the water tab too...
And I am Dutch lmao
Born in the Netherlands, lived here for almost 30 years now, rarely seen a toilet with a gap, i think i can count it on 1 hand the amount of times i have seen it (at like a pool or old building..). Also the shoe thing is false in my home, i always put my shoes at the front door and ask people to do the same! But indeed, most places and people i visit i can keep them on, and i hate it lol
Having lived in the Netherlands for almost 3 years, the one thing that’s _definitely_ true is the lack of hand washing! I don’t understand why they don’t wash their hands after using the toilet...it’s disgusting
There are ppl who washing hands 🙋🏽♀️ i think its the way how u raised and lifestyle
A lot of peopls wash there hands here in the netherlands, a few people dont but tou also have that in your country
Most of these things are weird in the Netherlands too. Its like "In my country it would be considered rude", well its considered rude here too, you just saw people without manners. Also, I dont know anydody with a sink in their bedroom.
Precies alleen mensen met een studentenkamer
I’m Dutch, I don’t lick my knife and use it for something else, I have a bidet at home, the toilets here are 99% just 1x1 rooms with a door and no gaps, I never lick my fingers after eating, I don’t have a calendar at any of my toilet rooms and I don’t have a sink in any other room than my bathroom and kitchen.
I guess I’m not Dutch then.
3:56 Wait what? What weird toilet did these ladies visit?! I've never ever seen that in my entire life! Sounds sketchy as fuck. Don't go back there. Lol.
I have never heard of someone licking the knife before switching bread toppings XD and on second thought: I'd rather just not know if the person I'm staying at actually does that or not.
except now you have heard of it because the guy in the video told you about it...
Oh my mil and sil does that . Typical dutch people here ..🤢🤮
1:18 i take off my shoes right at the front door in my own place and when i visit other people. I dont want to mess up anyone their home.
What are you talking about?
When I come home I take off my clothes and do a split, in the middle of the living room, start singing our anthem, and poop real hard so that it sprays all over the living room, and then I proceed by running screaming to my neighbours, to greet them by barfing all over them, just like any nice&proper Dutch household.
2:39 honestly I’m Dutch and my parents would ask exactly where I’m going, thats why I just say it 😂
"mayonaise on rice is gross" my man, sushi! hello?! lmao
Hoe verzint ie het ook...
@@manuell3505 Maar niemand eet rijst met mayo in NL!!!! Hoe kan dat nou!
0:40 My Dutch mom kept doing this. Sooooo many arguments at the dinner table. Training Dutchies some manners is like trying to make your cat fly.
News for the guy at 6:05 mayonaise is being used in most of the sushi rice for sushi restaurants🤣🤣
As a Dutch person that does love his mayo, wtf puts mayo on rice lol that guy met some psycho's down here.
Or maybe, just maybe it's not Dutch at all and it's just a Japanese dish. Never had sushi? A lot of mayo is used, also with rice. Not from Calve of Zaanse, but mayo with wasabi. It's not very uncommon with japanese dishes.
@@clipanddone I don't like sushi lol so no I never had wasabi mayo
Mr. Bidet, we have wet wipes.
Niet iederen, ze zijn ook heel slecht voor de waterzuivering en zonde van je geld. Ik maak altijd wc papier nat, gaat perfect
The calendar is a birthday calendar. Very practical: you are instantly reminded of someone's birthday.
Living with a Dutch girlfriend I can say the thing with cutting the food into small pieces after starting to eat is really strange, but happens everytime. What I also find strange is that in Dutch cities you can look into the living room of people and see them watching TV or whatever they do.
what others may find dirty is that we mix our food together "prakken"
You have to cut up food on your plate right ? What else is there left, shove it all in your mouth at once ?
yes. for example cauliflower or green beans with boiled potatoes beef gravy mixed together. and then eat it. and meat separately next to it
I’m from the netherlands and I recognize almost nothing, maybe that’s just me
1:23 *Everytime* I go to the restroom [snip], *sometimes* they walk out without washing their hands.
Why was "no time" left out of that sentence?
I think you already know the answer to that
If there are gaps under the doors on the toilet it's for safety if someone gets unwell or passes out it's visible to see and you can help even safe them
3:40 Where did you find these stalls??? I bet that was in a mall somewhere in the USA!! But NEVER in a Dutch home!!!
Yeah because every home has a toilet stall amirite.
You DO know what they are talking about, right?
Sprechen sie englisch?
There’s no stalls in homes dumbass
Als je zocht naar een Nederlandse commentent: Gefeliciteerd je hebt er een gevonden..
Indonesian here living in the netherlands for years and i deal with dutch people everyday at university, at work, in the house, everywhere... but honestly i've never experienced 95% of what these people are telling us about... yeah i know that there is urinoir in the middle of a festival or party which i find really gross but the rest (?) No... lol... and maybe i find it normal too to say "i'm going to the toilet"... i mean, everyone does that right? You have the front and the back-end with purpose(s) 😆
5:55 hold up, you don't like mayonnaise
I lived in the netherlands for a few years now, and almost all of these are very anecdotal.
The ones i found to be true but also not disgusting are the festival urinals, its just efficient.
And mayonaise... but u learn to live with it, and i actually am starting to dig it.
I like how with every positive video every Dutch person agree's but with this every one is like: Never saw or heard of this definitely not true. Like come on lot's of these things are true, i'm Dutch myself and I can addmit it.
I'd say 1/3rd is true, 1/3rd depends on the person, and the remaining 1/3rd I have never seen or heard of
I never saw someone putting mayonaise on the rice😆 for example😋 and more things i never saw in real too.
But i like all this videos from bart👍
@@vissertje1983 I think that he was taking about poke bowls in which they do use mayonnaise sometimes
True. But licking a knive and not washing your hands is considered gross everywhere
@@Sjaan_Banaan it is but it's also true that a lot of Dutch people don't wash their hands that often. Most of my friends and family don't even have soap or a towel in their toilet...
Actually, calling out that your going to poop is sort of a service. A lot of Dutch people live in homes with just 1 toilet and it's not very nice to have to pee after someone stank up the place. So having someone announce what they're going to do gives you an opportunity to use the bathroom first if you need. Not that everyone does this (by far!) but it does have a use. Also, since becoming a parent, I've started announcing that I'm going to the toilet so everyone knows to watch the kid and she knows that I will not be there for her for a bit. I expect this habit to wear off after a few years, but these people might have been in homes or at dinners with young parents. Just saying there are reasons 😇
Ik ervaar niet eens dat mensen specifiek zeggen wat ze gaan doen op de wc.
Puur dat ze de wc gaan gebruiken, zodat men weet dat de wc bezet is en weten dat als je terugkomt de wc niet meer bezet is en mensen die er ook mogelijk gebruik van zouden willen maken weten dat ze kunnen.
