How come the Dutch don’t get a please? Do they like people being rude?

That sounded comforting and threatening at the same time

It says:
You can here wait for assistance.

Belgian here, this sign says ‘You cunt, here waiting for assistance’

The Dutch text is saying it’s optional to wait here. So that’s a slightly more polite version. Just because it doesn’t have the word please in it doesn’t mean it’s rude.
Edit: because I am Dutch I missed the obvious joke of “kunt” which just means can. I get it now.

Dutchie here. We normally don’t like excessive politeness, since we could take this as “fake”. We like being short and direct, not wasting any time. No real Dutchie would be offended by this sign.

yeah I read the second line in Butcher’s voice

I prefer this English over the ‘you can wait here’.
I don’t need your permission to stand here.

In English it’s an order, but polite. In Dutch it’s a suggestion.

this is so blunt it’s kinda funny 😭 it reminds me of traveling with my ex because he had zero patience in airports and would get annoyed at signs like this like they were personally targeting him… meanwhile I’d just be standing there trying to stay calm pretending I wasn’t stressed too lol

You cunt blablablabla…. That’s pretty offensive.😅

The more Dutch I see written down the more I’m convinced it’s just a drunk person trying to write in English.
This really isn’t helping the cause.

Dutch is my first language and it took me a second

Strange thing is that the English text is so much larger. Do they expect that foreigners who need assistance also lost their glasses?
The Dutch text could even be much shorter: “Wacht hier voor hulp.”

Beautiful.
I love this 🤣🤣🤣
I dunno but that sounds more like Australian than Dutch
Just one comma away from being an offensive command
English: “Dear valued passenger, please kindly wait here.”
dutch: “wait here, cunt.”
‘Kunt’ means can in this sentence…
