When someone waiting at traffic lights walks up tensely as if ready to go it means it will take another 10 seconds. Reasoning: It expresses absolutely nothing so no good could come from it. And it really can be annoying when you naturally rely somewhat on surrounding people as it naturally comes but no, you'd just stand there tensely waiting another felt 30 seconds.
These people have no idea how to walk in public. They are slow as hell, stop right by the doors so nobody can pass, when you want to pass they jump in front of you, they stand on the left of the escalators instead of letting people walk past. When I walk up/down on an escalator on the left and ask them to let me pass they act as if I was the rude person. Oh and did I mention they are SLOOOOOOOOOOW! And why do they wait at a red light despite no car within a 10km radius?
And they're always standing in the middle of narrow walkways. Just standing around. Especially if you have a group of more than 2, they always spread out and completely block them. Always Germans. I used to think they were tourists from tiny German villages where it doesn't matter if you're an inconsiderate prick, but after coronavirus has basically killed Berlin tourism I've still seen it - perplexingly even moreso than before.
Also, I don't know why, but lately I have noticed people walk waaaay too close to me in public. I don't know if they're all desolate and desperate for human contact or what, but people have started walking by me with like a 1 inch space. Didn't used to be like this. What the hell is wrong with this city?
And one final rant: I like to look at google reviews before I go anywhere. I've noticed that in most places I look at nearly every single negative review is from another foreigner with their top complaints being rude staff, unsanitary conditions etc. Meanwhile Germans all give 4-5 stars. We are truly living in a different reality.
I had couples walking before me, seeing me! yet they keep walking forcing you to say Excuse me, which you won't feel like since they saw you, I figured they kinda want an offended Excuse me and somehow it seems to fit again when you say Excuse me as if they didn't see you. Or get really pissed off.
I love playing chicken with krauts on sidewalks, just look to the left or right like you don't see them and be prepared to walk into them if they don' move out of the way. In my experience 90% of the time they move at the last split second, the other ten percent when you do bump into them, just keep walking as though nothing happened, then about 7-10 steps away, look back at them and smile, then walk on.
Berliners are the rudest, most stupid people I've ever come across.
At the same time you still gotto remember that you are a good decent person. It'll make you feel off if you're not doing any of that. I surely never meant to be an asshole, I rather feels others would want that. So it can be confusing if it feels as if one was an jerk who would have to better himself. Very off way to see it and naturally opposed.
What is written above I feel is not good, pretend to not see them, it's a lie. While there is something good in it which is "seen but should not seen". If everyone would just mind their thing, there would be no issue. It is not unsocial to not wanna overly focus on passing someone on the street. People really exploit things though.
Let me write some things about this: I was walking over to the right, which was just normal social care meaning nothing weak. Both walked middleish. But the other one kept walking in the middle. What do you do? Bump him away? And I figured I would walk over to the left which reframes the situation. Pretty much I'd just take back what was never meant in such a way.
Then there were lots of situations where I stopped, no mind paid, because someone was first but then the other guy stops and it made me furious. But I then saw I cannot control the other one and it cannot be that this would give someone power. So it came down to I stopped because they were first, and then I walk because they don't wanna go.
Then there is some people who really play the game one too many times. Older people in this case. And yes I guess they need attention but it still be not good to let them suck. What I mean is you were walking on the right side and there is an older woman in front of you, walking on the left side her pov. It feels like what is she even doing there in the first place. And I walked over to the left and I really didn't feel to do so because I just evaded someone else. So upon having gone to the left side I look ahead and see she also went over and is now again in front of me! I walked back to the right and she passed me in this weird way, like she made me look at her that way. So I figured if I would test it, I would probably see that she went over when I went over and because of that I would turn back right upon her first move, which I didn't look at, or I just know. I literally would only walk left to then walk right again and this way her effort runs empty. It felt like she was attached to me.
Or people who stand in the way, I feel it is good to simply evade them early on, like the way in front of them is not safe to go. The longer you would take the harder it becomes.
Or there was another hilarious situation. 2 guys walk in front of me, to my right a bike path. So I was on the right side close to that path. And normally they should move left. But they didn't! It was like a tough guy with a "weak" guy. The tough guy wouldn't wanna walk over if the weaker one would done so. So the weaker one on the outside didn't make a move. I looked for a bike and of course no bike which turned out to be pretty good since it appeared as if I would put up with the effort and walk around them on the bike path. And I just couldn't do it, it felt wrong. Also from an option pov, often there is only 2. So I walked angrily over to the left and the weaker guy got a bit afraid and started to push over where the other guy though also had his direction since he didn't want to go to the left from my pov.
Just had to write this off my mind, You could say it just a thing about going with your feel and it is.
As for the older woman, I should just evaded her, it is just an example. I was just not feeling to do so since I didn't feel well and it felt like giving and giving. But now I see I might actually angrily do so because she sucked way more by me not doing so, it's like she wanted that.
Ok, I have it now. No matter what, she should not be doing that. I'm pretty sure if you would care for her there she still would do that. There was another thing. The point at which someone had walked over. Meaning situations where you were first and the other one is to evade. When this point is crossed, it means that they won't do so which might be why you might feel to not bother with this and walk over. Because you merely expected respect. That's not a weak thing. And I did this. Interestingly the other one was also walkiing over but he then had to evade because I walked over slightly before he did. It's normal good things. Normal karma.
Let me just get this right. One would walk over because care, but if the other one is also walking over there is nothing to care for so you naturally would not keep doing that and walk back. As I wrote it was about taking back something that wasn't meant like that.
Need creative ideas for how to get deported.
I’m gay and hate the gay scene here. Garbage.
To two posts above. Whatever doesn't turn you on, but you still haven't shed light on why it's 'gay' to mess around with another man's sewage outlet. I just don't get it. I suppose it's gleeful to pick up dog turds. Or cheery to wash in pigs pisss. How the F can it be 'gay' to do something so disgusting? And why does that make these freaks special, there's nothing special about such an act.
your comments reduced sex between two men to an ar*ehole. What you are forgetting is that there is a human being with thoughts and feelings connected to it. You cant understand because you have no feelings for men. But sex is more than shapes and objects and orifices. Or maybe not for you.
When I first came to Berlin about ten years ago, I was astonished to see bakery shop women handling filthy paper money and coins and then picking up loaves of bread and broetchen with their bare hands. There were also some kind of bees on the cakes on display, sshitting and ppissing all over the cakes.
Another bug bear for me when I lived in Berlin was people coughing without covering their mouths.
Also, waiting at pedestrian traffic lights at 01:00am with no car in sight for half a km, and yet they'd still wait for the lights to change, when I'd walk anyway, they'd give me the filthiest looks. They're like Pavlov's dogs, or worse still programmed robots who can't think for themselves. .
Germans: cheap with everything except their unsolicited, nonfactual opinions on “the right way to live”
What I don't understand is - don't they see that they are worse off than the people they offer advice to? That their flats are smaller, clothes are less stylish, jobs are more boring and less paid? Why do they think they know better? Why do they never get the idea that THEY might learn a thing or two from OTHER PEOPLE?
Germans were never allowed to show patriotism so they have this vague feeling inside that they're better (what nation doesn't have that feeling?) but can't overtly say it and thus have never actually had to justify it in concrete terms. Oh yeah, and "mOnEy dOeSn'T mAkE yOu HaPpY" because Berlin.
what if you fall in love with someone and then you leave chermany but then they are still there? how to do convince them to leave?
If they're German don't even bother caring. Tell the to f*ck off and go to hell even if you think you still like them because in another year or two you'll hate them. I don't care how much you think you love them either. YOU ARE GOING TO HATE THEM FOR WATCHING YOU WILT AND SUFFER HERE.
If they're a foreigner then tell them you can't deal with this country anymore. If they've spent more than a month here and have more than half a brain cell they'll see you're right.
If they’re Cherman, they don’t want to know any better because they’ve been taught they’re the best at everything. North Korea at its finest. If they aren’t Cherman, no idea what’s wrong with them and they want to stay in Berlin... maybe they don’t want to be responsible
When I first arrived in Berlin , I met a girl who needed a photo for her something-or-other, can't remember, anyway, I said "I'm handy with a camera, stand over here and I'll take a good poop for you and send it by email". Later, I met up with a German and said I helped this girl and showed them the shot and the reply was "So, you are taking work from professional photographers, how are they going to live if you take photos for free".
My stay in Berlin went downhill from there, but I stayed for the challenge of breaking the social code, but to no avail, it's impossible for an expat to understand the German mentality, impossible I tell ya.
These retards will do your head in, get out now, don't pass Go, don't collect two hundred dollars, just leave, NOW. I have a hundred other pathetic stories to tell, I'll leak them out bit by bit.
Actually, one was me riding my bike along a very wide footpath because there was no bike path on the road and this old gay guy said something in German as I was passing two metres away from him, I stopped and went back to say I couldn't catch what he was asking for, he said, "get out of Berlin if you can't obey the rules". I said "do you want me to get killed on the roads by the maniac Middle Easterners, there's hardly a soul on the footpath, who am I hurting, I'm not speeding, just casually sailing along". Then he started shouting at me in that Berlin way and I totally lost it, I was about to smash his stupid fking Berlin head in but the thought of the police stopped me just in time, at least it shut him up. But to this day I still have daydreams about smashing his stupid Berlin face to a pulp. So glad I'm out of that shthole, I now love my life, AGAIN.
das verkehrssystem. die stadt ist einfach zu dreckig.
Es ist mir egal, ob Deutsche Berlin auch nicht mögen. Es ist doch eure Hauptstadt und ist ein Spiegelbild des deutschen Geistes. Nur Junkies und Alkis und Pädos überall. Ein Berliner unfreundlicher als der Nächste. Ich wünschte, Berlin hätte beide Atombomben abbekommen anstaat Hiroshima/Nagasaki denn es wäre nichts von Wert verlorengegangen. Ich hasse alle Deutschen.
Help me out here. Does anyone find that Germans express negativity, disapproval, sarcasm, or question you critically in response to...stuff that would get a neutral/positive response in your home culture?
Like, I try to have a casual conversation and I keep getting blind-sided by how negative the responses are. I feel like I don't know what to say next. If I call them out on their negativity, they react like I'm shallow and fake and have mortally attacked their rights to free speech.
I just don't get it? What's happening here? I think I'm going insane.
they are very critical as this is all their culture allows for. If you want to get through their education system you have got to be über anal and pay attention to every last insignificant detail. That pretty much applies to surviving in this society too. They are conditioned to constantly think ahead and think of the back up plan of the back up plan of the back up plan. It can take some serious mental training to think yourself into this mindset and unfortunately it is not so easy to get out. So beware
I hate all Germans now. No exceptions anymore. They are all assholes.
Yeah because non-white countries are all Rousseauian utopias where everyone lives in perfect harmony with nature like China and India. How stupid can you be to even make that claim? To even half believe that non-whites are incapable of the technological advances that inevitably temporarily lead to increased pollution and military lower is obvious racism. What an absolute retard.
Angela Merkel: Terrible German leader or absolute worst German leader?
M0slem culture is a suffocating shame culture. I have friends that are atheists and come from m0slem families. The fear and struggle is real. They hide all the time otherwise they’ll be “the shame of the family” and their own parents will disown them or even threaten them. This medieval way of thinking doesn’t belong anywhere but the past. At least degeneracy isn’t life threatening.
They’re very brave, I tell you. they risk too much and constantly have to lie about things. One of them is a girl and I’m a guy and she always lies to her parents that she’s with a - m0slem - girlfriend when we’re together. That’s nothing serious, until you find out that she’s 25 and her parents still try to control everything because she’s not married. Sick medieval people
Germany is one of those countries where people leave worse off than they were when they entered it.
Germans clothing style makes me want to vomit. Have they never looked At a magazine for any kind of fashion ? How are they even with partners / married / employed ?
I didnt think it was possible for people to look this bad and it be socially acceptable and then to look good is frowned upon unless it’s in some fetish or club wear. Also a society where the women dress like old ladies and anything else gets stares and anger from other women. What kind of backwards place is this lol
