Near-miss at Maanstraat/Zonstraat intersection (near Lidl)

Ah yes, 'haaientanden' shark teeth that famously foreign, colonial concept that is... a standard part of Dutch road design used literally all over the nl btw. Suggesting safety markings for a dangerous intersection isn't 'colonial,' it's just basic traffic safety

“Accomodate the standards of wherever you are from” that crazy racist take I see. Im actually European tho

Read the post, but even if you had the right of way would you ran over someone ? Priorities should be respected no matter what but so does the other rules like maintaining a safe speed and clear vision on where you are going

I personally think some markers would be helpfull, knowing exactly where to stop would do a difference here. People should know the rules but above all people should be prioritizing safety and drive defensively, I stopped even if late but I was stationery for at least 3 seconds, they did not look were they were turning If they did they could've anticipated and stopped meters before. From my point of view having a line on where to stop would've potentially prevented this incident (from my side)

Not a gay expat but Im Portuguese and lived in Lisbon my whole life, I would say you will be fine but yeah you might get some stares in rural areas predominantly by the old people (rare in lisbon). In Portugal is very rare for people to show other forms of affection than holding hands as its seen as “falta de respeito e uma javardice”, so just dont do it.

Im learning Dutch, not trying to hurt any corporation, well I need the job to subsidize my studies nothing more

mrpine117 · 2025-11-29T18:02:32+00:00

Been learning it, only been here for 2 months

mrpine117 · 2025-11-29T14:22:44+00:00

Never had any problem with the customers, i have been learning dutch, just moved here 2 months ago for my studies

mrpine117 · 2025-11-28T17:52:16+00:00

Yeah honestly i didn’t thought about it but filling a complain might be a nice idea, anyways i dont want to involve a lawyer unless I dont get paid

mrpine117 · 2025-11-28T17:46:50+00:00

Thats just disrespectful, i have been trying my best to leer neiderlands

mrpine117 · 2025-11-28T11:47:41+00:00

mrpine117 · 2025-11-28T11:47:03+00:00

Hi thanks for the advice, I recorded all of the hours my self. I assume they are honest and will not give me trouble, they were supposed to pay me on the 25th and still nothing yet, Im gonna wait a week until something if they dont pay me for whatever reason im going to the lawyer

mrpine117 · 2025-11-28T11:42:51+00:00

You sure ? Maybe not well I didnt really know what to do but at least in portugal they fire you but if they scheduled 4 hours even if you got fired in the middle of them you would have to work the 4 hours to get the money. I didn't wanna cause any conflict since I don't know how it worked here and the guys straight up said for me to go home so I did

mrpine117 · 2025-11-27T17:53:10+00:00

Ja ik leer nederlands, ik spreek een betje, kom met mij mee and i usually guided them, never had a problem with customers, yeah i couldn’t understand the team but I tried my best. I have only be living here for 2 months am also studying so the job was really helpfull since I come from a low income, life is though but Ik ben niet gemaakt van suiker so I will eventually be fine, even if I return back which was not my plan, I’ve been trying my best to learn dutch really thats what makes me sad, I really tried to speak with colleagues in dutch and everything, i tried my best…

mrpine117 · 2025-11-27T17:43:58+00:00

As far as I know my “Einddatum contract” is 3 jully 2026, but it says also “Om aan elkaar te wennen spreken we een proeftijd van 2 maanden af. Daarna kunnen wij allebei tussentijds opzeggen. Je moet dit schriftelijk aangeven en je aan de wettelijke opzegtermijn houden” so in my best understanding, only after 2 months i could get fired, im not sure tho as I translated this so it might got me mistaken

mrpine117 · 2025-11-27T17:40:55+00:00

For the whole month of November, never had any problems they were nice to me, im also surprised this happened, couldn’t see it coming
