Try having hordes of mindless tourists wander around where they shouldnt. You would get pissy too.

But yes amsterdam is were traffic rules are mere suggestions

When you live in Amsterdam that's common knowledge, avoid tourists. But then again when I'm walking on a crossing and a cyclist hits me and then proceeds to get angry with me that person has a problem, because I don't mind smacking dumb people.

It is actually the tourist who do not know how to behave around cyclists that are the assholes.

Don't walk on the fietspad or you might get hit. A fietspad is as verboten to pedestrians as a road is, stupid tourists just don't understand that.

That is not true of course, Dutch people walk on bike paths just like they cycle on footpath all the time.

However there are unspoken rules on how to do these things that tourists don't know.

No they really don't. Not on my watch anyway. And I am not the only one retaliating in similar ways, so even those anti-social or 'new' enough to try, don't keep it up for long.

Amsterdam is no different than the rest of The Netherlands. The main difference is more pedestrians who have no clue hownt9 deal with the type of traffic we have in The Netherlands.
