Belarusians Have Taught A Russian "magic Words"

A nice exception to the rule.

Social networks are full of posts about inadequate behavior of Russians in Belarus. But there are exceptions. A Russian under the nickname doitextra told what lessons he learned from communication with our compatriots.

"I'm a Russian and this is what I learned from the Belarusians," he writes. - Threw it in the trash can, but past it - I'll pick it up. I took a carsharing - I'll write to tech support that I'm out of washer fluid. Re-adjust without a turn signal - it doesn't happen that way. Getting to know your neighbors is normal. I see someone parking on the lawn - I'll make them repark".

Belarusians saw several important omissions in the list and completed it. The site Charter97.org cites some comments:

- Don't get ahead of the queue at the store, don't forget to say "thank you", "excuse me", don't forget that the country is called Belarus, not "Belarus", that girls and pancakes we have - top!

- The police is not safe. It's dangerous. Be more attentive.

- Hold doors.

- Kitties on the road to pass.

- Say hello to cashiers in the store, with janitors. Before addressing someone unfamiliar, for example, to ask for directions, you should say, "Excuse me, please..." And then say thank you. Also when getting off public transportation. And in general, don't forget about the "magic words"!

- When driving, Belarusians always move to the side of the road, giving space for overtaking.

- When someone gives way to you in the overtaking lane, thank them with the emergency brake.

- Don't wish evil, don't do evil.

- Love pancakes.

- Start to learn the Belarusian language..
