Is it just me or is €3.89 for 40 mentos in Jumbo just insane? I know you can spend your money on other items but I just walked past this and thought it can’t be right.

We laid these Solpersteins for my family today at Nieuwe Hoogstraat 19. I would appreciate anyone visiting them. Thank you.

Never realized how huge these ships actually are until I was standing right under them. The BAP Unión from Peru completely blew me away

I took a bunch photos to try and capture the feeling

My wife saw me make a sandwhich with hagelslag (and butter) once, but thought it was mayo. Because „you guys put mayo on everything”. Apparently it’s good this way…

Recently, I saw a post from a guy in germany who kind of complained about how he envy sick leave procedure in the Netherlands. In Germany, they can call in sick 3 days but after that they have to submit a doctors certificate by visiting their clinic.

In Netherlands, you just call in sick and you don’t even have to tell the reason and it even can go on for couple of weeks as some comments mentioned (if factually true)

It reminded me of the meme, “wait a minute, are you guys getting paid for this?” 😂

As a worker in Italy, I am in awe. I mean you still have to go three days later, in Italy we cannot have the sick leave if you don’t have the doctors certificate and the worse thing is that you have to get it the same day you call in sick otherwise that day would be counted as absentee (and this be a cause for a warning in some shi*ty companies) I mean it happened several times to me when I barely could move from my bed because of being sick but I was Fkn forced to …

During a stop. I feel the screen should all show the stop names instead of all these generic nonsense!!

I can’t see the location at every door but the tv is visible in every door area, so please use it cause I don’t know where I am sometimes

Wanted to check and buy Oat milk. Came up with a drunken bol.com catalog.

I’ll go first, mine was public urination, (for dudes of course). Not only did those pee fountains that are put outside every event blow my mind, I was also blown away about how publicly they’re displayed??

Like dude we just all watched you go stand over an open pool of piss with 3 other guys, do your business, walk away and go on about your day high fiving your boys and buying drinks, as if you didnt just do that 2 minutes ago. What about hygiene, wahsing your hands? A sanitary station?

And thats at least something I guess, the first time I was exposed to the side effect of multiple cheap beers was when leaving a metal festival, and on my bike I passed a row of people just peing on a bush on a sidewalk next to the street, no shame, no effort even to hide yourself.

That was it for me, many years later now I get it, and I get that the cities do their best to minimize it but the first time ever I saw this phenomenon was here.

I’ve been freelancing for this client for 6+ months, mostly doing video editing and some graphic design. Recently there was some disagreement between my regular contact person and his manager. Long story short, the manager reached out to me directly. His complaints were all due to the brief I received from my contact person, which I told him with all respect. I resolved the issues directly with the manager, temporarily ignoring the contact person.

The contact person then came back at me and started calling me names (I think?) like ‘smerige theedoek’, ‘zielig flubbertje’ and ‘ogen vogel’. Google Translate just translates these to pure nonsense. Are these common insults? And what to they mean?
