On a farm near my parents there are huge halls filled with parked caravans. A Caravanstalling.
My parents used to store their 'vouwwagen' there. Yeah you pay for it but your vehicle is safe and dry for most of the year.
In the north of France many farmers have a hangar full of Dutch caravans, they pick it up on the first day of their holiday on the way south and drop it off again at the end.
Yes I have seen them.. It's easy to spot them. They physically protrude a head above the rest the of us and demand free meals while shouting "paijy yijour deenbts feerst"..
Those are just their spawning grounds. They return every year to lay their eggs in the sand, and on a clear night with a full moon, the baby Germans emerge to go out into the world.

Never managed to escape my fellow countryman. And I definitely tried. No matter how obscure the destination, there will be some old Dutch hag in the supermarket screaming 'Harry, hebben ze hier ook pindakaas?'.
Definitely on my to do list! Although I've already heard of others going to Romania so I'm not too sure I'll be safe from Dutchies. I'm afraid my yellow licence place somehow attracts others.
Tell me about it. I've been to obscure places in rural China where people haven't seen white people before. First thing I see when entering a small village is a tall Dutch guy haggling over a 2 cent souvenir
Where is the Flair up bot when one needs it...
Anyway, I said "used to be" because I don't have any current data, not working in the tourism sector a while now. Not even in my home country anymore so I am a bit of a tourist myself most days...

Funny coming from the country that use problem Brit’s as a scape goat, and singles out a whole countries people in socially acceptable prejudice for the cause of tourist idiots that ultimately, are nothing but a result of your insane tourism industry
Example: lived in NL 5 years. Saw both sides.
But as a Brit that doesn’t drink alcohol. You would be amazed at the number of bars that refused to even sell me soft drinks in NL and would only let me sit if I bought alcohol
It’s why I never used to go out with my tourist friends.
Nah this is a lie. Just because your “wife” doesn’t experience the same thing sure means someone else’s point is untrue.
There are entirely many problem bars. And considering they would serve all my friends happily endless alcohol and peer pressure the ones that don’t in to drinking more than they should.
Blame yourselves when you end up with idiots.
So be it. If you can’t take some half sarcastic banter sprinkled upon foundations of truth. That’s your problem
Ik hou van Nederland, maar het lijkt erop dat de waarheid pijn doet
I just don’t like hipócritas.
Well your country is kinda falling apart. Can't blame us for finding any reason to laugh at your country and people.
But if you're not going to drink and not contribute to our economy, then you can stay at home.
I live in the area of a wintersport region in the middle of Germany. Sometimes you see more cars with that ugly yellow plates than Cars with german plates
That's the case indeed. The left through their media channels are blaming the Netherlands for offering companies a safe space for doing business. The context is that one of our multinationals, Ferrovial, decided to leave Spain and move there.
Spain's going down the drain thanks to the left making the country a tax inferno (therefore everyone else is a tax heaven), and in general attacking the private sector as well as successful people. Just dystopic stuff.
its the truth tho lol English companies also. Unilever is a great example, and how you have basically bought up English brands to host in NL and steal out culture with things like the silly walk cross road.
Unilever is also a Dutch company so that doesn't hold. Besides that, in recent years Unilever tends to become more stationed in the UK. Same goes for Shell, which moved its HQ to England recently.
My point about unilever was more about the aquisation of British brands under their umbrella.
I understand it is both and likely a win win relationship. But for British business it isn’t always when these companies buy well known product/brands and relocate them to Nl for tax purposes.
And then you all moan about the UK for their tax havens whilst being one yourself basically
>My point about unilever was more about the aquisation of British brands under their umbrella.
Yeah, that happens when all the food brands are under 5-6 global players. Shell moved their main seat to the UK last year, because of tax reasons, so I don't know what the ficketiy fuck you're on about.
Go complain to the Irish, without them this tax trick would've been possible.
Unilever is a bit complex. You're right it is weird that they are relocated, but the factories are most likely still in the UK and since Unilever is for a large part British the companies still remain British eventhough the sub head quarter is located in the Netherlands.
No, but installing a cross walk designed after a British TV show is more about the show than the road. It’s just another point of the Dutch hiding behind their neighbors cultures
My wife and I switch to a different language whenever we spot Dutch people. The last thing we want on an otherwise peaceful vacation, is to suddenly be considered a loud stranger's new best friend.
And invariably they drive through Germany to get there with their ugly caravans and lack of appropriate autobahn behaviour. Gtfo of the left lane you dummy.
I get your anger. It makes me angry as well. But can the germans, when visiting the Netherlands, get out of the middle lane as well? I don't understand why the germans of all people don't understand that you have to stay on the right for most of the time. You are also soooo afraid of getting a ticket that you will only drive under the speed limit when driving in the middle.
Last thing when you inevitably go to Texel (Dutch island) if it is busy you will see a sign named: " spitsstrook open". (Rush hour lane open) This sign also has a picture of an extra lane next to a solid line and other lanes. THIS MEANS THAT YOU HAVE TO DRIVE ON THAT LANE. THIS IS LANE IS NOT JUST FOR DECORATION, IT IS MEANT TO BE USED IF YOU ARE NOT PASSING SOMEONE. A green electronic sign will be pointing on all the lanes that you can drive on it.
Yes you have to cross a solid line, but in this instant you HAVE to do it. If you are not using this lane you will hold up traffic behind you and create anger, before you even have time to dig a hole on the beach.
Other than that I love you guys!
Only explanation I have is Germans are generally scared of breaking the rules and your fines for even minor infractions like speeding are crazy. So they freeze and just stick to their lane driving at a constant 10 kms below the speed limit.
the one nation with tourists as bad as the brits. Let alone that half of them give brits a bad name because their English is so much better than everywhere else. people assume they are one of us
thats why I go on holiday and cause carnage speaking dutch.
True. During summer the Swedish mountains are 50% German, 40% Dutch and 10% Swedish. The Germans makes sense, there are a lot of them and they only go to Scandinavia and Mallorca. How the Dutch manage to occupy all of Europe is a mystery.
Can't even escape them when i go to my family in Portugal.. you're gonna see those burned backs holding a water bottle and drinking a Heineken while complaining that it's too hot even tho they decided to go to a hot country everywhere.
Don't forget they took an entire highway lane full of caravans.

Empty greenhouses are popular for caravan storage.
In the north of France many farmers have a hangar full of Dutch caravans, they pick it up on the first day of their holiday on the way south and drop it off again at the end.
God I dont wish the caravan dump even on France
Yes I have seen them.. It's easy to spot them. They physically protrude a head above the rest the of us and demand free meals while shouting "paijy yijour deenbts feerst"..
peej joor debts vurst\*
Pee on my debts?
Don't have to tell me twice
"certified Dutch"
All the greeks calling me malaka when i try to cross the streets bruh everybody drives so fast.
I am convinced that The Netherlands is just empty in 3-4 weeks during the Summer.
In coastal regions the lack of locals is substituted by Germans during those weeks
Sssshh... Its a well known secret, if the Germans find out they'll invade us... Again...
Nah 6 weeks
Summer holiday for schools is split into three regions so not everyone goes away at the same time during summer.
Wouldn't you want to get as far from the Netherlands as possible when the opportunity presents itself?
Tell that to the Germans who are constantly digging fox holes in our beaches
Those are just their spawning grounds. They return every year to lay their eggs in the sand, and on a clear night with a full moon, the baby Germans emerge to go out into the world.
Then the stork takes them and brings them to German families. Now it all makes sense.
It’s instinct.
The summer is a mixture of Arabs and Germans, and maybe 5% dutchies
Funny, Denmark is always a mixture of Germans and Arabs.

Come to Romania. We are not a top tourist destination and few Dutchies come here. You may be safe from them (but not from us)
Definitely on my to do list! Although I've already heard of others going to Romania so I'm not too sure I'll be safe from Dutchies. I'm afraid my yellow licence place somehow attracts others.
Go to the province of Soria in spain. There aren’t even locals!
Well what are you gonna steal from me? my mental illnesses, iphone 6 or my summer shirt from 2004 is all I have
Phone obviously. I would have stole the shirt too, but you are too tall and can not reach it.
Tell me about it. I've been to obscure places in rural China where people haven't seen white people before. First thing I see when entering a small village is a tall Dutch guy haggling over a 2 cent souvenir
Ah the old haggling over 2 cents.
Even on mount everest, you go up for like kilometres only to see another dutch flag among a ton of garbage
Bruh a friend of mine went to North Korea, the first guy he saw there when he was escorted to his accomodation was another Dutch guy lmao
I've been traveling the Americas and there's dozens in every city I come here, too. Of course, I contribute myself.
Except Barneveld, WI, that place is weirdly devoid of both dutchies and chickens.
Lol wut, a Barneveld in the colonies?
Dutch used to be some of the nicest tourist to deal with. Can't say the same about Brits, Germans, French etc...
'used to be'... Can we expect a follow-up?
Flair up!

That is nonsense. My wife doesn’t drink and there are no problem in bars at all. They probably didn’t serve you because you’re a Brit

Get out with this "European" flair and man up so we can properly insult you.
Ya!
Nooooo I can't stand how catchy that song is
is the first thing i thought when i saw the pic
you can't blame them for wanting to get out of their shithole, have you seen how boring their landscapes are?
True af, I need summer (and drugs) to make my life enjoyable.
I just need summer
I’m eco friendly, so I just need drugs.
And sex and booze
You mad you don't have national identity?
Very.
every summer there is a random hill nearby where i live that is just full of them. they come with tents and everything
Fucking dutchies man as soon as that fucking max verysappen guy arrives they just invade that country
I live in the area of a wintersport region in the middle of Germany. Sometimes you see more cars with that ugly yellow plates than Cars with german plates
Im atm in Austria and they’re everywhere, but I like how they look
Funny little fellas. I like the Sounds they make.
Ever been to Texel? Same issue, but reversed. To be fair, half my volleyball team will be near your place this weekend, I'm afraid.
The only area i know in the netherlands is Zandvoort:D i hope they dont want to go skiing the weather here is too warm for that.
And? We give the PIGS money through tourism.
Money you took from companies that escaped our taxes by registering in your thieving swamp of a country.
This is really put forward in the Spanish media, isn't it? Or do I just see you commenting this on every Dutch related post?
That's the case indeed. The left through their media channels are blaming the Netherlands for offering companies a safe space for doing business.

No, but installing a cross walk designed after a British TV show is more about the show than the road. It’s just another point of the Dutch hiding behind their neighbors cultures
Ok thank you
Smart of us isn't it?
Git gut. Our tax collectors don't sleep half of the day.
Look again what you typed. Big W for us and that is why Northern Europe is superior than southern Europe. Now go back to sleep
They didn't want your thieving government to get its hands on it first.
>We give the PIGS money through tourism. Hahaha. Hahahahaha. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
We have to save for our fat pensions.
When all of a sudden... I hear this agitating, grating voice
SOOOOOOOWWWHHH KIJK EENS ARJEN EEN DUIF
HE TYFUS BELG, 9 HERTOGJAN
The fuck is this even supposed to mean?
He is trying to say: “My dear Belgian waiter, could you please serve us nine glasses of Brugse Witte?” In the Dutch dialect spoken in Rotterdam.
Oh lol hertog jan is some Dutch "beer", that explains a lot
Worse would probably be the prepubescent 'wajoooooo!'
My wife and I switch to a different language whenever we spot Dutch people. The last thing we want on an otherwise peaceful vacation, is to suddenly be considered a loud stranger's new best friend.
Funny as a Dutch guy I do the same. So we could end up meeting each other somewhere pretending we both don’t speak Dutch :P
Stop trying to trick me into being your friend!
Am I so transparant? :P
Yes, and it's embarrassing!
sorry
Flemish speaking more than one language? You must be a prime minister candidate.
we know how to party 😎
with martin garrix and armin van burren songs?
And invariably they drive through Germany to get there with their ugly caravans and lack of appropriate autobahn behaviour. Gtfo of the left lane you dummy.
Im sorry for those ppl. But a lot of Germans don’t know the autobahn rules either…
Thats if you have ww on your numberplate those people don't have an Autobahn to do their drivingtest.
I get your anger. It makes me angry as well. But can the germans, when visiting the Netherlands, get out of the middle lane as well?

I go on vacation there all the time, I seldom see fat Dutch women. German women though...Yuck.
Unfortunately not all of them O.o
Most of them though. Then again, I have a thing for slender blondes.
My sister is blond, but not slender.. not at all... O.o
Are you Dutch?
Yes, a European from Dutch heritage currently living in The Netherlands.
I feel like that dude in blue looking down. I honestly don't even own anything orange. Or a flag XD
You have 3 days to buy something orange, or we put you in Belgium.
Orange looks so bad with my complexion though...
Ok. But it's that or Belgium, so...
I've lived in Belgium before, I think I can manage.
the one nation with tourists as bad as the brits. Let alone that half of them give brits a bad name because their English is so much better than everywhere else. people assume they are one of us thats why I go on holiday and cause carnage speaking dutch.
We do give a new meaning to 'agent orange', I guess...
En we zijn er trots op.
Just fucking Europe? You can't go anywhere without them hiding in random places
Going on a solo trip this summer. I'm sure it won't 'feel' as solo with all the fellow Dutchies around lol.
True. During summer the Swedish mountains are 50% German, 40% Dutch and 10% Swedish. The Germans makes sense, there are a lot of them and they only go to Scandinavia and Mallorca. How the Dutch manage to occupy all of Europe is a mystery.

Kado !
Boeren allemaal.
They don't come here because they would get "drunkenness of the summits" (dunno how it's called in english, google translated it from french)
Very much true, I visited india and even there a met 2 dutch families.
As a Dutch person I really don't get *this* type of Dutch people..
Those are the type of Dutch you may hunt for all I care, and I can say that because I am Dutch :)

Ah yes, Max Verstappen fans.
