Just read that 85% of Berliners rent... lmao. No wonder they're all so angry. They have no stake in society and are basically slaves.
Why are people here so provincial? Their clothes, their hair, the way they carry themselves. The only cosmopolitan people are young folks and foreigners who were not born & bred here.
It's a combination of a Berlin thing and a big anonymous city thing, if you go to smaller German cities like Cologne, the people are way more friendly and also dislike the Berliner attitude.
He's right about the gays, there's more in Cologne than in Berlin. Wouldn't really matter to me but I rrally don't want my kids to see people having sex in public which is common in Berlin and Cologne because Germans are too dumb to make a civilized society.
Cologne does indeed suck for other reasons too. People might be a little friendlier than Berlin but they're still Germans so kinda retarded.
I tried to explain to a berliner why people might express positivity or optimism when they don't actually feel it, but are trying to. I feel crazy now.
My hatred of berlin is starting to taint my whole idea of northern europe. Like, I don't even want to see it. I just want to head south to where humans are actually meant to live. There is a dark, grey, negative, draining energy here.
True, it's because of their traditions, they don't want to come into the 21st century, many of them still live with medieval ideas and superstitions. So many countries touching each others borders wit a history of betrayal, killing any possibility of trust, suspicion is bred into their children as well. USA and Australian pizzas are far better than Italian pizzas because people are not bound by tradition and free to think outside the squares.
I LOVE MODERN CAPITALISM, PHUCK LEFTY SOCIALISM AND COMMUNISM.
I don't see millions of people clamouring to get into China, Russia, Iran or Nth Korea, they all want to come to the New World. Europeans need to grow the phuck up.
What happened to Wirecard scandal? Did It vanish from the face of the earth suddenly? (!)
This case depicts German mentality. When there is a problem, they pretend like It never happened and of course don't own It. These people do never accept their mistakes and can't take ownership of any problem.
Glad atleast BS Payone and others got more customers. I think they are liquidating wirecard bht any news has just removed itself from the face of the earth. Imagine if this was Payone or Square. poop would be piling through the roof in terms of media coverage. Bafin is corrupt as hell.
3 years here have made me so numb. I'm not sure how to come back and feel alive again.
went to a cafe to get a cake at 3pm with my bf, on bergmannstr, and we were working from home so needed to takeaway. I ordered a slice of cheese cake to the unfriendly server. I then decided we wanted to order something else, another slice of another cake. This is where I don't get this culture. She was so cross and aggressive towards me because I 'changed my mind' as in I decided to buy MORE. How dare I not come in there knowing I wanted 2 slices but thought I wanted 1 to share then decided to spend a little more and buy two slices... and inconvenience her and not be a robot knowing exactly what I will do a month before doing it because I didn't plan that at 15:04 on 28 July I will want to order two slices instead of one. She decided to punish me by seving me a slow as humanly possibly and then looked angry I handed her a 20 note. She then dumped the change on the counter and was the most unpleasant little troll imaginable. How dare I spend my hard earned cash there. How dare I change my mind... how dare she have to do.. HER. JOB. How dare I expect manners and simply to want to spend more in the business that employs her butt. The twisted logic in this bizarre town is just too much. I am working and paying an earth in taxes, yet I am punished daily by these pathetic, bitter, twisted, petty, jealous nazi trolls. Who agrees? Tell me I am not mad!!?? What the F?! Only in this city do I get questioned for having brown eyes cos I am a brit. Only here do people ask me why I look 'southern'... only here do people ask where my 'sources' are from... and I am white!!!!! Backward, fearful, parochial, provincial, backwater, simpleton BEASTS.
German cake is the worst cake I have ever tasted. Every cake is either over mixed and rubbery tough, or like soggy bread, or tastes like plastic. I had a "cheesecake brownie" where the cheescake was literally just salted egg! I still can't believe that I paid actual cash money for that gustatory insult.
Its a symptom of the the lack of sensory pleasures here. Its probably owing to their history. Also it is mediocrity. Thank you for listening to my cake rant.
I know exactly what you are talking about, it was so common for me in Berlin I really thought I was going crazy, the best decision in my life was leaving Berlin, let them stew in their own disgusting 'culture'.
GasLighting is the term for making someone think they are crazy, and hat's what they do, hey gaslight you. The term comes from a 40's movie.
I work as a cook at a big restsurant Cafe.I know exactly what you mean.I have no idea where the attitute came from.I am not saying the customer is right all the time blabla.But most of time I saw my colleagues are very rude.Spent their time for talking with others(same colleagues)so they just ignore customers.They are even ruder when the customers were kind or.not Germans.But they always complaining that they did not get enough tip.
I was talking to a friend about this type of attitude the other day and they were trying to give me all kinds of advice on how to handle it. I just told them in the end there is no way to explain or Justify or even comprehend this type of attitude and trying is what drives you mad. Just laugh and leave
The problem cannot be with us, collective groupthink society incapable of having original thought, no, it must be with all the foreigners, foreigners that come from literally all over the world having the exact same complaints about our xenophobic, dogmatic, power tripping and psychopathic society.
You know what I hate, I hate it when Berliners bump into you and you say sorry, expecting a mutual sorry or "my fault" or "Kein problem" back, but instead you just get a nasty, spine-chilling look as you though you are the one who bumped into, on purpose. Never say sorry to a Berliner, they will not respect you. They have no social graces whatsoever.
I paused to read a shop sign and decided to enter, and a young man coming in the opposite direction told me to "bleib recht", but I swear the way he said it chilled me. It was with the most bitter tone amd vicious expression. It was spine-chilling as you say, and I felt like who the fornicate is he to tell me where to walk. Just the WAY he said it, like he hated me.
The "whoops" noise lol. Germans are embarrassingly dorky. LMAO
vee are veak if vee apologise... funny how they are harping on about transparency and directness, yet they cannot own up to the truth in their failings. YOU FAILED. own it kraut. We are human. We make mistakes, It happens. Not oops. it was not a chance of nature. No... you dumped your lardy leberkäser foot onto my toe and did not apologise. You made that miscalculation in your engineer autistic brain, and you are responsible. Be accountable. ACCEPT. Useless beings. They fail in their inability to see their failings. I am done with them.
I'm a bit lost about something. What do you say? You stand in queue in a supermarket. You casually put the thing for someone behind you and the person says thank you which irritates you. What do you say? Might be actually quite fun to do like a worthwhile game to play. What do you say?
Well, maybe not the best idea. I meant you casually put this thing that divides each person's bought things. But then the person behind you goes like thank you. To me -seeing their pov - I see someone who sees someone casually putting it or especially not towards them so they felt it would be irritating to say thank you to it. Can you see the pov? Just pretend you stand there, someone puts that thing, you would probably feel that it would be irritating to say thank you there because there was no thing there to say thank you to. And I felt I'd say "you're welcome" which is obviously not with a direct meaning. (Or kindly not say that because it returns it naturally. In this case it wouldn't be about to not reply but to not say you're welcome which is a huge difference). The reason I wrote this was because I felt it was a sucker move or maybe just a brainfart. I was doing like the normal care you could say but this really included casualness, so no talking about it. If I had felt better I probably just said you're welcome in the good way I feel. You can see the theme is confusion, or something like stuckness of life flow. The situation in itself is nothing. So the 2 things I feel one naturally feels there are anger, because someone just got way too close or it's no issue because it can easily fended off. But in both cases you say the same thing. Aside all the other things you could say. So I was curious what other people would reply to this. I can see many people don't even get in such a situation because they just put the thing and whatever you know.
i know what you mean, and i have gotten angry about such stuff before. people who do obvious common sense stuff and expect a thanks. or who thank you for doing obvious common sense stuff. now i refuse to think about it. they are crazy. or idiots. or both. period. not my problem.
I hate how people act like they hurt you when they pull away their dogs. You might feel a little lonely or just playful and the dog senses it and these fuckers pull it away. Stupid act and probably just afraid. You know ahat I mean? The combination of a really lovely dog and a complete jerk owner. I guess one could piss them off by just keeping interacting with the dog and chat them up. I mean the whole act to me is punchable, it's shots fired. I was feeling quite down some day and that jerk sniffed it out and pulled his dog away with this extra intention to upset me. And it's ridiculous, I'm saying that act.
How long does it take to do construction work for a roof? It's been 5 months now and these idiots are still working at it. Think they are trying to build a new roof. Right when it was very windy in February they had a cover that made noise. Now they are still working, what seems to be only about two people making noise every freaking day. This cannot take so long. These freaking morons. Have money for a roof but can't afford enough workers.
The C key is next to the X key, so move your QWERTY keyboard to the right a few millimetres.
By the way, does anyone else find themselves constantly typing "teh" instead of "the" and having to regularly go back and correct it? Or is that just me? Maybe I type too fast.
