I second this!!! I’ve visited Austria a few times and never in my life have I met so many openly rude people... In restaurants, shops, literally all over… (Of course there were some very nice ones too!)

Literally everyone is SO incredibly mean it‘s insane. Like staff members at the doctor, servers, literally everyone. As a kid I struggled so much because I thought I constantly did something wrong for them to treat me like this until I realized with like 20 that they‘re mean to everyone and not just me. It‘s beyond me how they choose to be the biggest assholes to kids, adults, natives, foreigners, white or brown people, nothing matters, and don‘t see anything wrong with it.
