Are all Brits so stuffy?

Default Are all Brits so stuffy?

Seems as though all the Brits I have dealings with have their underwear on too tight or something. Is this the norm for everyone else too or am I just meeting some real assholes out here in the world?

Its pretty annoying when you can't even take a crack at someone you have known for some time without some prick sticking his nose in and being offended at a very mild comment.

nope you are just meeting some real assholes....my brother in law is british and he is a great guy...I also met all his friends from back home at my sister and his wedding and they were prob. some of the coolest guys I have ever met...they were like a bunch of kids running around havin fun but with 30 year old IT VP's wallets.....I think you are just getting a bad representation.

Brits come in 2 styles: Amazingly laid back, or amazingly large stick up their ass.

sort of, when i went to england in 2000, everyone was like that. from the damn bus driver to a hot ass chic. it seems like the norm there, everyone has a stick up their ass, or so how it was from my perspective.

I have met some really cool Brits as well but it seems like lately all the ones I have met have a stick in their bum or something.
