>rudeness of romanian public servants appears to be well established and has nothing to do with preparedness. Thier rudeness is legendary in Romania. I assumed it's because we are a poorer country with a rough past that traumatized a generation, but I've seen equal levels of rudeness sometimes from the public servants in Austria and those earn way more than their Romanian counterparts and get much better benefits and working conditions from the state and didn't go through famine 35 years ago. So assholes will be assholes regardless, just because they know they can't be fired, and are usually venting their personal failures and frustrations on those in weaker positions who can't fight back (foreigners, immigrants), just like how you see people being rude to employees in the service sector. Anyway, I hope you find safety and know that you're welcome in Romania.
