  1. Saw this video on youtube, of a tourist/youtuber complaining about “Swiss culture”, while he visited Switzerland.

    **What do you think about his statement?**

  4. Great attitude. Blames others for his fuck ups and thinks the people of the world exist to serve him.

  6. Sure, because if you go to the US not speaking english (or spanish maybe) for sure everyone will be super helpful, RIGHT?

  7. “Well who the hell told me?”

    The in-train announcement he didn’t listen to.

  8. guy pissed me off in 10 seconds of speaking, maybe try not be obnoxious if you expect others to help you

    besides that, we put a lot of freedom & responsibility into the hands of our citizens and expect them to be grown-ups who do their own research. if you don’t like that maybe join an organized chinese/indian tour group next time.

  9. Welcome to the train station in Spiez, where one half of the train goes to Interlaken and the other half to Zweisimmen. It’s clearly written on the signs at the platform.

  10. Brits can‘t live with Eigeverantwortig, always crying for the nanny state.

    Next time listen to the announcement in the train and read the built in screens in the train.

  11. Hurrdurr the ticket inspector didn’t read my thoughts

  12. So now it’s the fault of the locals that they can’t read this guys mind where he wants to go and stop him when he boards the wrong train.
    If only the trains would have some indication on where they’re heading, like a textbox with the destination.

  13. Its ricky gervais less talented brother…..and as a Brit complaining about Swiss trains (which are amazing) is a bit disingenuous compared to the state of UK train system

  14. It looks like the the Swiss conductor was nice and didn’t give him a ticket for fare evasion.

  15. Both things he complains about (trains splitting mid route, hiking paths being at your own risk without explicit closure in case of bad weather etc) happen in the UK too, he’s just a muppet.

  16. Public transport does not equal culture. I’m in the UK right now and just got a train that did exactly this, front 2 coaches end at one place back 2 carry on to more destinations. This isn’t some novel exclusive to Switzerland concept. It’s like the people that keep coming on here with the rail passes and being shocked they got fined for not validating the ticket before departing as stated in the terms of the ticket. Your inability to inform yourself and research your own plans is not a local cultural issue.

  17. It’s funny he says the culture here is just make it up given that British trains just make up a timetable and then don’t turn up anyway

  19. I remember getting on the wrong part of a split train on the Paris RER decades ago. Not once, but twice, until we figured it out.

    Still remember it with a chuckle. But then we toured Europe for adventures and mishaps were part of the experience 😃

  21. All train stations I know are divided into sections. All the trains tables/sign generally say which section the train will be…

  22. This big boy shouln’t travel alone, he should have come with his mommy … she’s probably still doing his laundry.

  24. That’s how we keep the UK wankers out of the country. Just piss em’ off so they don’t return.

  25. How embarrassing. Some folks just need their hand held all the time.

  26. As a British born person living a long time in Switzerland, I sincerely apologise for this complete muppet. I hope he can find his way back home.

  28. Very typical arrogant behaviour… I’ve noticed this type of behaviour from a lot of tourists sadly! Selber schuld

  29. He’s upset, but he’s not wrong. Everything here makes perfect sense… the second time you need to do it. The first time is almost always a bit of an adventure.
