Its funny how they think that cursive font is a good idea for ads or products. Looks so dated
I'll never forget my first month in Berlin about 12 years ago, I went into an arty video rental shop in P'berg and took a movie to the counter, the guy had a look and said "that one is out", I said, "how was I supposed to know that", he said, 'It's unusual for this to happen that the movie is not there", so I went back and spent five minutes to find another movie and he said, 'That one is not available either", I said, "It's a strange system, why don't you add a note that the video is not available", he said, "we've been using this system for many years and it works very well", I said, really, you think it works well". I spent five more minutes to find a movie, took it to him and guess what, that's right, not available, "I said that's three times this happened and you tell me this stupid system works well, are you insane, what the fucckkk are you thinking, how can anyone possibly think this is a good system". He said "if you don't like the system, then I don't want you here", I screamed at the top of my lungs "WHAT SYsTEM, YOU freaking MORON", and left. I never went back to this german khunt, so he didn't get another cent from me.
Berlin Germans always have to be right, they can never admit that there DDR ways are total shiiittt.
So happy I left that enormous public toilet and the pathetic 'alternative' creeps there. 'Alternative' , what a joke, they all look the same, freakish sheep. FUCKKK YOU BERLIN, FFUCKK YOU, FFUCKKK YOU, FUCCCKK YOU.
I hate having to see these sexual toy King posters all over the city.
I hate those rotating boxes above clocks on street corners. 100% of the time it's two ads for dildoking, 1 ad for Artemis brothel, 1 ad for a weird sex massage place. When Billy Boy changed their logo from being a cartoon male genitalia I thought maybe Germany was ushering in a new era of maturity but I was wrong. Dildoking has the most prepubescent ads I've ever seen anywhere. Pretty sure no woman has ever ordered anything from that company, ever.
Those massage and brothel ads just make me so depressed and angry for the Romanian women trafficked in here. I feel disgusted as the Germans who pretend to be progressive but truly don't give a single poop at how women are victimized in this brutal industry. The German government protects pimps and turns its back on the women.
What the hell is with Germans and their constant, completely unnecessary usage of English words both in written and oral form? Do they think it makes them seem more modern?
Sometimes you read stuff written by Germans and 30% of the text is basically in English. The worst part is that most Germans suck at English anyway.
Say whaaaat???
To be a baker you have to Ausbildung/train 3,5 years??? Are you kidding me???
Was talking to a baker today and thought he is playin me.
Don't get me wrong. Bakerman js a honored job but 3,5!!!! Years of training???
Wtf. Germans are the dumbest motherfuckers in the galaxy
They artificially stretch these Ausbildung. Few years ago I met a girl who made an Ausbildung to work in the meat department of supermarkets, she told me they have art lessons. You don’t need art lessons to sell meat and they still cannot train you to have taste in art. Utterly pointless.
Not just that (but of course paying people poorly is 100% a big part of it), it also makes it more difficult to change careers because they'll say "Oh you have learned Kaufmann für Büromanagement, not Kaufmann für E-Commerce. You are not qualified for this job. Do this 18 month Umschulung and apply again". I am convinced that is why so many Germans are so bad at their jobs - there's no way to change careers. Also, for the most part, Ausbildungsberufe are looked down upon. As a result only kind of dumb people do most of them, so teachers inflate their grades so they don't have classes of 80% fails. For some Ausbildungsjobs this isn't the case - nurses and plumbers and electricians have all seemed to be intelligent and motivated (in my experience) but anything that has to do with office work or dealing with customers - they are always incompetent AND rude.
The straw broke the camel's back today, so here you go.
Just got a bill in the mail telling me I owe money to the Zoll for a package I got delivered a week ago.... OVER TWO HUNDRED F***NG EUROS. For a package that cost me 300 EURO. WHAT THE F*** IS THIS ABSOLUTE HELL HOLE! Why in the name of d*** can they drain your money like this? It's like unless you want every single thing in your life to be 100 % German, you're gonna get punished for it. I am afraid to order anything online in case I get a surprise bill in the mail later telling me that I owe more than 2/3 of the price for "handling costs." MY S*** BETTER BE DELIVERED IN A F***ING GOLD PLATED BENTLEY FOR THOSE FEES SON!!!!!!!!!!! How are people OK WITH THIS??? People I talk to are like "Oh, you know. Good ol' Zoll! Keeps you on your toes!" AND I'M LIKE F***ING NO IT'S NOT A CUTE QUIRKY THING ITS F***ING S**T!!!!!!!!!! I will be out of here like a BAT OUT OF HELL as soon as the travel restrictions lift. I have been here two regrettable years and I have never experienced such a miserable, hateful, exhausting, clusterf*** of a**holes in my entire life.
I hate having to go to work every day and listen to all these hipster idiots who are obsessed with Berlin, and how they could never live anywhere else, how the people are so nice and friendly (????!!!!!!!!!!), etc etc. And I have to pretend that I like it here, when in reality it chokes fat d***.
I yield my time.
Duty-free limit in Germany is 22 EUR (due to some dumb fuckery it's effectively 27 EUR but that's not really the point here). Duty-free limit in America is 800 USD. When Trump accuses Germany of unfair import taxes he's not wrong. And that's before you look at the tariffs on cars. Germany wants all the benefits of isolationism with all the benefits of globalism. I pray for the EU's collapse.
Berlin reminds me of some kind of lord of the rings Mordor
Why don't these people just accept a critisism about their country ?
You say, " The rents are too expensive in Berlin" they say, " But, look at London ! It is worse, It is better in Germany actually"
You say, " I think %42 pay deduction is extreme" they say, " But by these taxes, contributions, bla bla"
Why do they feel to indicate " x is better in Germany no matter what " ? I mean, this reaction is too childish
You say, " Office environment is much better and people are more engaging in UK / US / Netherlands etc" they say, " But, job security is better in Germany"
the taxes are crazy high and exactly what they are doing? the roads aren't even properly paid in neukolln. Not to mention the random fines and nitpicking every aspect of life to the penny..... Germany is a socialist country, of course they don't have freedom of speech and have been raised to think this is the only way, comrade.
Germany is good place for the poor but not for motivated educated people. Because Germany does not appreciate your work/study. It is socialism which means the salary of waitress is better than Master degree employee. Or being in H-4 is better than to work, as the govt. pay for your apartment (or at least you can get cheaper apartment 500EUR for 3 rooms apartment), pay for your train ticket, etc.
If Berlin was a drug it would be meth
These people don't listen to you / don't know how to listen / they are not so focused to understand what they are being told maybe
Select one of these statement above as you wish. Germans in workplace requires you to explain same things over and over again at least 10 times If you are lucky.
Working in this country is such a burden
Germany is about to pass a new law that will make it illegal to burn the EU flag (actually it will expand the protections given to the German flag, as well as the individual flags of German states). Not only burning will be illegal, but also doing anything considered "Unfug" with it. The is no doubt a proactive attempt to prevent wide scale anti-EU protests. The EU is probably more hated in Germany than it has ever been thanks to thr passage of Eurobonds/Coronabonds which violate the German cobstitution. Almost silently, after thr EU rules that Germany is to lose further autonomy, Merkel conceded and the Coronabonds were allowed.
Big loss for sovereignty, big loss for free speech. Exactly what you'd expect from Germany and the EU (which is basically just Germany 2.0).
I have to return to Berlin soon for a few weeks. I’ll remember to keep berlinhater in my mind the whole time because, well it will keep me sane. I always just thought it was my fault and didn’t realize so many felt the same way. Now if freedom of speech were allowed, people would vocalize this .
I just simply feel afraid to leave the house unless I am going somewhere I know my friends are. I don’t understand how I was so social in the beginning. Now I am extra careful who I meet because there are so many broken people in this place. Especially germans. I won’t make friends with new germans. I had rose coloured glasses on in the beginning, until I saw so many broken up things around me. I’m on edge constantly.
White German men agress me and so do the women, they push into me. Junkies are in the subway, the entire city smells like piss. I watch what I wear so people will leave me alone. I don’t get how I ever felt relaxed and comfortable in this place. I have grown to fear interacting with others
The hostility even extends into the expats. You can see it on sell your stuff Berlin. Nobody can have a nice thing. Socialism wants to keep you down. People want to hurt me for no reason, they want to verbally assault or insult me.
When I first moved to Berlin I thought it was just neukolln that felt dodge, then I moved to Kreuzberg and that’s where I got attacked; then to friedrichshain and it is just as dodgy. The only place I ever felt safe was my Schöneberg sublet but even then, the building was haunted and the old German man used to stand directly behind me on the balcony next door and breathe down my neck until I went inside .
Imagine if ppl went up to germans and were like yeah how many nazi's were in your family and how many innocent ppl did your family members rat out and kill ?? No one does that but given their history especially germans in Berlin we all should be asking them !!!
Tschuuuuuuu-euuuuuu-eyeuuuuuuu-uuuuuuuu-sssss
Ducking so irritation
I don’t get why all the interesting people make a mass exodus from Berlin to a city that deserves their energy
Why they don’t. why are they there. They should move the community elsewhere. Exodus! Stop trying to convince germans to have souls! Leave them and their stupid stupid land to rot in hell and take your friends and sanity somewhere else to promote so less people come to Berlin and get so broken up that there has to be a site called berlinhater!
