Cheers to the group of guys who smashed our signs to pieces when leaving the restaurant last night. Hope you feel proud of yourselves this morning. 😞 #lagosportugal#scumbags
@SimonHoiberg Portugal is exactly the same. Truly don’t know how this country continues to exist. Nothing, nothing works. Every single system is broken or nonsensical
Real story from my office in Malaga.
One day, a new company moved into an office next to mine, and they ordered internet.
Same day, my internet disappeared.
I called my ISP, and they sent a technician out to fix it.
All good, except 2 days later, my internet disappeared again. Once again, I called the company, and once again, a technician came and fixed it.
This kept repeating for +2 weeks. Internet kept going down.
Finally, I knocked on the door to the new business that had moved in next door and asked them if they knew anything about this.
They had been experiencing the very same thing!
Turns out, we were using two different ISPs. And when the new office had their internet connected, their technician just unplugged mine, knowing that it was from a different company.
When I called my technician, he would do the same thing. Just unplug theirs, and plug mine back in and call it the day.
Zero fucks given.
So the company next door and I coordinated to call the technicians from each of our ISPs at the same time.
Once they both came, we cornered them in the hallway, demanding that they collaborate and fix this properly.
They were visibly annoyed. It took them +4 hours to drag new cables and free up an extra slot.
After they were done, I asked the company next door "can you believe they just did that" - they just shrugged and said "well, this is Spain".
And unfortunately, they are right.
This type of experience would happen over and over in Spain.
In government offices, in restaurants, with plumbers, electricians, you name it. In Spain, no one really gives a fuck.
Dealing with this stuff almost every day for 2 years became unbearable.
That's why I left.
And that's why I'm so done with these "3rd world countries". Nothing works.
Ok, I posted part 2 the other day as unfortunately, I saw part 2 1st, never seen this guy before on TikTok.....now I have seen part 1 👍🏻
It's genius ✨😂✨😂
I definitely say big Tesco, 'just browsing' & I have been known to do the sign for the bill 😆🙊😆
@NapierHolland Plus, tourism is down because it’s no longer cheap to visit here. If people come, they stay in Airbnbs and mostly eat meals in to save money. And the local population is non-existent- nobody really lives here any more because they can’t afford to rent or buy. Very bad all round.
I live in Portugal. It’s broken. Nothing works.
Governments crush companies with dumb, insane fines and rules, before they grow.
Employment laws stop companies hiring and wreck the job market.
Taxes are insane. Accountants tell us, ‘Never start a business in Portugal’.
30-40% of graduates leave because there is nothing here for them.
Customer service is appalling.
Everything is broken and falling apart.
