Furious Spanish traveller rants about common ‘careless’ Aussie greeting

A Spanish traveler has pointed out a common phrase “all Australians” say that makes her gnash her teeth, and expressed her frustrations about Australia’s dating culture.

Perth actor and comedian ‘Mr Sikkant’ interviewed the woman on the street recently, where he asked her a series of questions about Australia and Spain.

The woman, named Vera, said it made her ‘mad’ every time Australians said ‘how are you?’ instead of ‘hello’ as a greeting.

She also believes that the Spanish are much more direct and don’t mince words when it comes to relationships or sex.

‘Most people (in Australia) when they say ‘how are you?’ they don’t even expect a response in return, because it’s like ‘hello’. And that makes me very angry because you don’t even know if the person really cares how you feel,” Vera said in the TikTok video.

Mr. Sikkant agreed with his assertions and then asked: “So the Spanish are more aware of knowing what the other person means?”

Vera replied: ‘I think that in Spain everything is more direct. Like, for example, anything to do with nudity, sex, and drugs is a very open conversation.

‘In Spain if my friend wants to have sex and I want to have sex with that person, that’s it, it’s that simple. You’re not playing mind games if you say “Oh, I’m going to ignore this person for weeks.”

Mr Sikkant then asked if it’s not ‘fun’ to play when you’re single, and Vera said there’s a ‘fine line between fun and annoying’.

Some TikTokers agreed with what Vera said about Aussie’s, while others were unconvinced.

“She’s right about the how are you part,” wrote one person.

‘Mistaken. she obviously doesn’t know. we say ‘how is she doing,’” added another.
