I can spot german women in other countries from a mile away. (Or would they like the specific square metres of kilometres haha?!) baggy, massive pants for the ladies. Some dumb butt scarf in +29 C?!? Some stupid backpack ( get a rolling suitcase if you are over 20 lol) and some dumb butt braids. Not to mention, body language classless, no makeup, and BO
Customer service.
I have an emergency in my flat, called the provided, grumpy female dog answered.
Asked if English is OK as my German is not so good. No. Any colleagues I can get transferred? No.
Eventually I excused myself in advance for the bad German and tried to explain the Notfall.
She understands until checked my contract, and saw I have a basic one (sorry for not having a fancy corporate one for the flat I live alone, bitch) and then she got the worst attitude I have ever gotten.
Talking over me, rude, literally flipping me off to send an email and insulting me that she cannot deal with my bad German, raising her voice.
Eventually I raised mine too only to call her a cow and hang up.
It drives me insane how inconsiderate and rude these human beings can be, and I am
mesmerized that they have jobs dealing with people.
To the “German” troll who posts here. This research explains your mentality better than we do. Jealousy, only enjoying when you do provocative things, having stress all the time... www.google.gr/amp/s/www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/study-finds-germans-incapable-of-enjoying-life-a-834973-amp.html
“Doch wer gilt schon gerne als egoistisch (62 Prozent), materialistisch (56 Prozent), rücksichtslos (50 Prozent), gierig (49 Prozent) und überheblich (43 Prozent)? Die Angaben in Klammern geben an, wie viele Deutschen ihren wohlhabenden Mitbürgern – zumeist ohne sie zu kennen – diese negativen Eigenschaften zuschreiben.“ Gtfo Cherman.
Translation: “But who likes to be considered selfish (62 percent), materialistic (56 percent), ruthless (50 percent), greedy (49 percent) and arrogant (43 percent)? The information in brackets shows how many Germans attribute these negative characteristics to their wealthy fellow citizens - mostly without knowing them. ”Gtfo Cherman.
Today I said that there should be more incentitives to work, such as higher pay. If getting Hartz 4 leaves you better of financially there is no need to work.
Some German thought that this will ruin peoples lives because of Lohndumping. Weird German logic.
Honestly the only college course I learned anything useful in qas economics. Germans have special interest groups that habe been lobbying to prevent economics from being taught to all children as part of the standard curriculum and I am convinced it's because it would put a stop to all these dumb ideas like above. Especially Berliners would benefit from learning a little about the free market and why populist lefty ideas like rent caps don't work.
There's a German troll in here, guys. OR... Someone pretended to be German. Be diligent. And keep posting! ;)
Everyone complains about beggars being foreign, but..
Almost all of them are German junkies.
I see a lot of Motz beggars than anything else.
Despacito on electric violin can be annoying. SURE, but at least is something (music/entertainment) in exchange for your pennies.
I rather listen to that for the whole ride, than seeing drugged out, bruised and dirty Motz people asking for “money or cigarettes”.
Almost all crime in Germany is foreigners!!!
We Germans follow the law. If you don't like it LEAVE!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_Germany
Buchpreisbindung is stupid. It's basically a government-imposed cartel on book pricing in Germany (that thankfully doesn't apply to books from foreign publishers YET, but that's not the point). Basically every book published in Germany is required by law to be sold for a specific price set by the publisher. Only after 2 years are book sellers allowed to lower the price. But sometimes they'll purposely damage books to sell them for cheaper (you'll see 20 copies with a Mängelexemplar sticker). The system encourages publishers to re-release books every two years with trivial addendums.
But the worst part of the system is thay they claim it is to protect smaller book sellers. Well how many independent book stores have you seen in Germany? Almost none, and the few that do exist are so cheaply outfitted you wouldn't want to spend a minute longer than necessary there.
Also considering the fact that publishers sell their books to book sellers at a discount, it doesn't protect anything. Especially in a world with Amazon that can negotiate bigger discounts than any other seller on earth.
And this thing is so heavily enforced it's ridiculous. A few years back the government fined Meinpaket.de because they allowed people to use discount codes on books. Now all other websites seem to be scared as hell of violating this dumb law.
Buchpreisbindung is just another retarded law that Germans are convinced is good. Test it out yourself. Casually mention that you think free market prices, like in basically every other country on earth, are superior. And then watch Germans get mad because they can't list off a single advantage to this dumb system.
German here and I am disappointed in the undifferentiated opinions on this website. Was everything here written by one person? All my friends think Germany is great. My foreign friends at uni also say Germany is number 1. We have the strongest female leaders (Frau Merkel and Frau Von der Leyen) ever. We are a role model to the worls and especially the EU. Maybe we are too direct for you spoiled anglo-americans, but everyone I know says this is a good trait. Germans are definitely not assholes. Maybe it's true that in Germany you earn about 20% less than you would in USA but I am happy to earn less and in exchange never have to worry that I will have difficulties in live.
If you hate Germany so much then get out, we do not need you here. All the Syrians I know are grateful to be here unlike you rude foreigners. We only need good foreigners here who love the way German society is.
I like how the Krautcuck's post implies he has "a lot" of foreign friends, but if you were to ask most foreigners in Germany they would claim to lack German friends.
"All the Syrians I know are grateful to be here unlike you rude foreigners"
Oh well, enjoy living in Al-Germanistan, Hans Abdul Müller.
^ I suspect so too. But in case he/she isn't, I'll make some observations of my own. I befriended a Syrian guy when I was in Germany and he is thoroughly unimpressed with Germany and has tolerated their crap for the last four years. I know plenty of other foreigners who feel the same way.
OP,
You must be kidding right? Merkel and Von den Leyen have been total disasters for not only Germany, but Europe as well. They are both living proof that you don't have to be good at what you do to go up the chain in Germany. Both are immoral and incompetent by any reasonable measure. You should understand that their is a difference between been direct and being a complete male genitalia when it's not needed or warranted. Most Germans who have been abroad (and never come back) actually understand this. Although inviting refugees into one's country seems a kind act, I can't help but think that the Germans and their sad excuse for leadership have done all of this for their own over-inflated egos. I have to wonder how one can live without difficulties here when wages are often poor and the government takes up to half your pay from you. It can really only be viewed as theft. And you're all happy with this?
Oh, and OP proves that Germans are usually bumbling minions of the government and OR media. Claim that Germany is the best in (insert irrelevant topic), but if you ask them if they are proud to be German, they deny it, because that would be "Nazi" (while behaving like an actual nazi!).
What the frank...
It’s funny because germany is always comparing itself to USA but USA couldn’t give a fornicate about Germany, except maybe to believe the propaganda it puts out which is complete poop because Germany sucks. And by the way I didn’t earn 20% more in USA. I earned about 300% more
"We are a role model to the world and especially the EU." The last time your country tried to be a "role model to the world" was back in the 40's. We all know how that attempt ended. "All my friends think Germany is great." You must be referring to your imaginary friends. "Maybe we are too direct for you spoiled anglo-americans." No, we Anglo-Americans, along with many other non-Germans, don't believe it's right to disrespect others. "Germans are definitely not assholes." Oh yes you are, guess again. Go sit on a wurst Hansi.
A guy is having trouble seeing clearly so he gets laser surgery on his eyes. When the surgery is completed the Doctor says, "do you want the good news or bad news first"
The patient says, "the good news".
Doctor says, "The good news is you're going to get a new dog.".
Germans love comparing themselves to other cultures. female dog if you were so perfect why did you lose two world wars that you caused and why is your population so poor and trashy?
I don't know, WW II, wasn't that big a deal was it? I mean only 50 mil died, that was only 2.5% of the world's population at the time, what a few percent decrease here and there, you Anglos are too sensitive, you need more Saxon blood, we don't care about such trivial things.

German police casually shoot some dude's car LMAO
What's with Germans who always will accept your packages from DHL or whatever and then ALWAYS answer the door in their underwear?! Happens to me all the time and it's not even only German guys, it's also girls! Why can't these people just pretend to be civilised for 10 sec. to give me my darn package?
I am German and if your neighbour takes your paket and holds it for yoh then you need to say thank you. If he or she opens the door in underwear then you should be happy they feel so comfortable with you to do this. In Germany we consider this being a good neighbour. Foreigners want to see sex in everything here. I bet you also want to ban naked sunbathing in our parks?!?
I dont want my taxes to go on Immigrants who claim they are "refugees", but are just economic migrants {or worse illegals} like me, with that in mind that they live on beneftis which are higher than my wage, because they are from East or South and are dark skin color. There is nothing racist about this statement. Thats why people vote AFD.
How dare you serfs question how the government spend its money. You should kiss the ground and pray to our Lord and Savior ANGELa Miracle for allowing us to live in Germany and subsidise convicted paedophiles and the 1/6th of the DDR population that informed on its own compatriots. Saying otherwise is SOOOO American. -Some dumb Germ
German mentality is a worst case scenario mentality. Sparen like your Life depends on it, in the meantime not enjoying a thing and being stingy and cheap. I’ve started laughing at germans and everything they do. Don’t waste your precious time and energy hating them. Just do sparen of these things and laugh at them.
LOL yes it's bare minimum land and I noticed this the minute I landed at Tegel and saw that they don't even have jetways leading from the plane to the terminal. Then it was further confirmed when I saw how many people they squeeze into the buses that go from the plane to the terminal. Even more when I used the bathroom and it smelled horrible as if it had never been cleaned and never got any fresh air. And then, of course, when I saw how completely messed up the airport design is where people have to queue in the middle of walkways and sit on the floor. I thought to myself that this surely couldn't be the Germany I had been told about.
As I German let me tell you that most of the things written on this site are incorrect. Germany is a clean country and in my 24 years living here I have never seen someone peeing in public. We are not ,,worst-case thinker", we are just realists. That is why Germany is so successful (we are the export champions of the world, our education system is the best (our Pisa scores are only bad because the students were told the test does not count), best healthcare, best welfare system).
If you all have such big problems with Germany then leave. We Germans don't want so many foreigners here anyway.
Canada has the Best healthcare system. German universities rank over the 100th position. Are you really comparing your crap universities to Ivy League ones? You are idiots. Who think you own the world but lick China's butt when it comes to it because thats the new power on the block that can seriously damage you.
And still buy diesel cars like dumb krauts. Meanwhile Chine is ahead of its 2030 Paris agreement targets and BMW buys batteries and electric trains from a chinese company BYD. no you are not champions of shit. you just lack introspection and self correction. Arrogant garbage

Are there any German companies that aren't corrupt as hell?
