Thats possibly true, but more out of frustration that everything seems to take so long, and the older you are the less of that you have.
Not confined to PT, but worse here than UK, in my experience.
But maybe because at least I fully understand whats going on there, and very rarely do here.

Yes, I think so too. I was referring to myself though.

Yes, I think worse, for sure, but immigrants like me always have rose coloured spectacles when looking back 'home' (PT is my home)

I used to think I didnt understand because my Portuguese was at fault, but now I know that it is because of the very specific flavour of 'reasoning' and 'logic' used locally
... and because quantity is more important than accuracy when it comes to communication
... and showing you are in control trumps everything, much like the much repeated myth that there is no translation for 'Saudades' in English - there is no Portuguese translation for 'I don't know'.

In the US when you call customer support you have a very long wait and when finally someone answers, the person has an incomprehensible accent. The accents mostly sound Indian, once I had someone who sounded Scottish, still incomprehensible to me

I couldn`t agree more with the sentiment of he who shouts most and loudest wins the case..............how many times I have been in conversation with a Portuguese person, where I just cannot get a word in...........they have a knack of asking a question and then going on to answer it themselves........something which is not normal practice in UK, dunno about anywhere else...........sometimes I just stand and smile to myself

Oh yes, when in a Portuguese conversation with multiple people its all talking at once, quite an amazing skill really, to talk without listening to anyone else
I am much better at it now but still find it really hard to not be put off by what the other people are saying, they seem to have noise cancelling built in

Of course, there is usually one (always a guy) who has some sort of respect and everyone will listen to him no matter what drivel he says (or if he just repeated what you said but then everyone ignored it - must be what women feel like sometimes)


As someone (Portuguese) said to me recently, the most shameful thing is not that we suffered a dictator for 50 years, but that its 50 years that we haven't had one

This could also be in Hong Kong 🇭🇰. Same thing, everyone talks at once and no one’s me seems to listen, and all carried out with lots of decibels!!!

Went to EDP today to input readings for December.........here is what it says !!!

De momento não é possível aceder a esta página.
Voltará tudo ao normal no domingo, dia 17. Lamentamos o incómodo.

In Portuguese does that mean Saturday the 17th or Sunday the 18th???
