There’s no real consensus on it yet in Dutch, but the most common are either hen/hun or die/diens. Both are known words that can be repurposed, but both have some disadvantages when it comes to certain grammatical rules.
There’s also some initiatives on new words, but they haven’t really gotten much traction yet.
I can understand the complaint though.
You might not have come if you knew beforehand that it would be this busy. But now that you’re finally here, you don’t want to waste the trip and decide to make the best of it. You just grumble a little that it’s so busy.
It’s like time travel. One moment you’re here, and the next it’s an hour later and you’ve somehow arrived.
Don’t ask me what happened during that time, I wasn’t really there.

You can use the post format of the previous challenge, or ask me if you need any help.

To be clear, it wasn’t really twerking, she just wanted to bump me with her artificial big butt because she thought it was funny. Which it totally was :)

There’s a rather lengthy article here in Dutch that explains it in depth:
