Imagine you walk into a store and the shopkeeper envelops you in a long, warm hug. This is what it feels like for Slavic people when strangers smile or ask you how you're doing. It's not that we hate long, warm hugs. https://twitter.com/mattgrieser/status/1007326034759487489 …

Don't wear shorts past voting age unless you are within sight of the ocean. Stop smiling at strangers like a lunatic. Don't put sugar on meat. Control your children. Why is this stuff so hard for Americans?

Offer guests tea and something to eat. Put doilies on flat surfaces. If you must wear a baseball cap, take it off indoors. Use slippers. Pick mushrooms. Maybe read a book once in a while. Instead of dubbing foreign TV shows, have one dude who just reads the script over it. Squat.

I have no idea. It is some primal, irrepressible instinct to make doilies and little lace curtains. My guess is it started as a way to protect surfaces (like coasters) but has spiraled out of control

Oh, I like making little lacy things myself, I can just never find any use for them once I've finished.
