I know it isn't rational but whatever experience I have here, I generalize that ALL Hungarians do things a certain way. All Hungarians blow their nose as loud as possible and all doors in Hungary are non self closing and require excessive force to close.
The men who work in the building I am currently working in frequently blow their noses so loudly it sounds like a chorus of off-key french horns. Awful and disgusting. Is this a Hungarian thing? A European thing? Or maybe just men who work all day in a noisy bottle cap factory who think it is acceptable to let everyone know they have too many mocos in their nose - thing?
Second generalization: Non-self-closing doors require violent force to close. I must be accustomed to doors that automatically close behind me gently as I am often startled in this office building by the noise of someone SLAMMING their door. Even the bathroom door requires you to shut it behind you or the door will stand wide open for all to see. I guess this could be good on a day when you are angry and just need to get your frustration out - WAPAHH SLAM - aggression towards door instead of a person. I don't know but as someone who currently sits in silence pretty much all day, I could really do without the heart attack once an hour. Why don't they have those nifty automatic close devices? Is that really all that modern an invention? Just wondering.

I had no idea that you knew the word "mocos" but I think it is hilarious that you do and have "tagged" it is a topic on your blog. Haha!
