After reading in other blogs about the apparent rudeness of the Spanish, I started thinking about this too. They seem to bump into you at every possible opportunity, they invade your personal space in queues, the beach, bars and restaurants.

But if you watch them in their cars or on their bikes you realize there might be another reason. They obviously spend a lot of money on their cars and keep them clean and tidy as this is an important status symbol. But they also have scratches and bumps all over them. So, if they are not doing this on purpose it has to be something else.

In my opinion have people from Spain no sense of their position in space (and maybe time, judging from their punctuality). They just don’t realize that they will hit you unless they really hit you. It probably is possible if you would let Spanish play 3D Games against other Europeans. Or how good are they at Sports like fencing? There must be statistics on that somewhere, I shall investigate more.

Meanwhile, I won’t think that they are rude, they are not doing any of this on purpose. It also means that I won’t be parking my motorcycle on the street (but then I have seen sober people running into it too).

BTW: the guy in the picture above tried to get out of this parking space for 15 minutes. Even though this was obviously impossible, the car vanished when I went for lunch. He ended up with lots of scratches on both bumpers.
