I am given to understand Germans, Austrians and Swiss find being addressed by name rather intimidating too!
I used to work with a lot of Germans, and even after many years working together they used to address each other as Herr or Frau whatever, whereas they found it quite acceptable for me to address them by their first names and vice versa.
In our quaint European way, we expect to be formally introduced before we start addressing each other by name!
On a beautiful deserted island, in the middle of nowhere, the following people are stranded:
2 Italian men and 1 Italian woman
2 French men and 1 French woman
2 German men and 1 German woman
2 Greek men and 1 Greek woman
2 English men and 1 English woman
2 Bulgarian men and 1 Bulgarian woman
One month later, the situation is as follows:
One Italian man has killed the other Italian man for the Italian woman.
The two French men and the French woman are living happily together in a menage a trios.
The two German men have a strict weekly schedule of when they alternate with the German woman.
The two Greek men are sleeping with each other and the Greek woman is cleaning and cooking for them.
The Bulgarian men, after looking at the Bulgarian woman, have started swimming.
The two English men are still waiting for someone to come by and formally introduce them to the English woman.
