What the hell is with all the public urination in Berlin?
Just went out of my office in Mitte and right across the street at a VERY busy intersection some dumb German had his penis out and was just pissing right in the open with dozens of people walking around him? How did this become so common here and why are German men so afraid to use a public bathroom?
My very first memory of going out in Berlin was exiting the ubahn at Rosa Luxembourg Platz (I think) and seeing a group of like 5 guys standing in a circle around a little tree growing out of the sidewalk and pissing. I should've went home immediately and booked my flight straight back home.
Because paying 1 euro for not being an animal is too much.
Because people can charge 1 euro for a basic human need! Even public ones!
Because too much stupid freedom where this poop is not even considered an offence.
I have seen people having wild sex on a playground at night. Where kids come to play and fall the next day... in semen and all things beautiful.
I reacted to it, but guess who was shamed? Told to mind my business, they continued. My friend was confused why I would actually say something to them. They are just having fun.
I hate this city, and the no decency morales.
According to Ai Weiwei "I don’t want him to live in harsh conditions. I don’t think Germany provides a good environment for foreigners.” He mentions that Lao was recently threatened by a shop owner there."

Lol. not even Ai Weiwei could hack it in Berlin. God damn!
Ok Ausländers, if this dude can't manage it, neither can you.
'I'm not a fan of Ai Weiwei at all but this observation is impressive, especially considering he only lived here for a short period of time.'
I'm the same. I often disagree with Weiwei but he is absolutely right about Germany. I'm also sorry to learn that his son was threatened, but not surprised.
OMG I feel the same about learning German. In English, people are less rude here because it takes too much effort to be an butt in a foreign language. Also the reason I don't verbally abuse people here on a daily basis.
Anyway, if Germans love the EU so much then they need to accept people not learning German. Isn't that the whole point of the free movement of people?

So many German apologists. What a load of freaking retards in this city.
People claiming they've never had problems at the Burgeramt here :D having to wait 3 months for an appointment or having to show up at 5am in hopes they might have the mercy to service you obviously both aren't problems. This city makes you accept failure.

So glad I'm out of Berlin, it took about three weeks to completely get over the shock of the years wasted there, but now I'm back on track to positivity and optimism again.
Yeah r/Berlin and r/Germany are full of liberals, r/Europe is full of conservative nationalists (though it's more palatable since they're under the guise of EU multiculturalism). Even the Germans on r/Europe are more right wing. But it doesn't matter, reddit was caught editing people's posts and has started collapsing upcoted comments to hide popular information - just like twitter has been doing now for 3 years. It's all controlled media.

I got this impression too. It seems that an honest discussion of Berlin/Germany (or any other topic really) is not allowed on those sites.
Well I mean Spez, the owner of reddit, was open about some of his edits to people's posts. No telling how much secret editing and suppression is going on. Plus all the organized pro-antifa stuff on there. Try this out for proof: go to r/berlin and post anything negative about antifa or about nogo areas in Berlin. You'll almost instantly get more downvotes than people online on r/Berlin. A day later look at your user profile admin section on traffic to your profile. There will literally be hundreds more visits as a result of the post than you regularly get. There are a lot of weird censorship groups in Germany that orchestrate this kind of stuff.
Whats amazing is how the posts on the site keep on growing every day. Says a lot about Berlin.
The site definitely helped me see through a lot of the poop here since most people you'll meet just go on endlessly about how great this place is. And the Germans freak out at any criticism of Germany (just today I overheard a conversation about the Ai Weiwei thing and how nice they think the taxi drivers here are laughing crying emoji) or just deny it. I have had Germans tell me that they've never seen anyone in Berlin pissing in public, that there are almost no homeless people and that the city is clean.
Anyway, at times when I thought I was going crazy this place has helped me regain balance and to realize that I cannot live here any longer. I tried to use reddit for this but they pretty much banned me immediately from r/berlin.
Is Leipzig any better than Berlin...?
Thanks for the responses guy much appreciate that....Im getting the feeling that all places in Germany are similar in terms of rude people for the exception of a few....Is Munich or Bavaria or any other place in Germany are better? or is it much of the same throughout the country? I did notice when I was 19 in southern Germany even though I had some good friends....the general feeling from people towards foreigners was distain and suspicion.....and quite a strange approach to us English and Irish people....at best....It was quite un-nerving at time.......Even the other day I walked into a restaurant and usually speak German (this is in Berlin) but this time I just said in English to the waiter I know - "Hi How are you?" I got funny looks from other people on another table.....2 guys seemed to be young German Gay guys and I could see their faces and one in particular had a look of disgust and abruptly left the establishment.....I though to myself - what a little shit.
To the OP : There is no better place in Germany in terms of the things you already mentioned. Well to be fair, NRW cities dortmund, düsseldorf, köln are a bit better and liveable. but this is all. you can not find %100 charmness, friendly people in germany regardless location
Of course the more west you get the better it gets. But what is the definition of better. You are still in the county of mentally ill people. Munich is a nice city. Specially on Sommer. But the Bavarian people have a big sexual toy in their asses. The Berliner is more open minded. But you won't see dirty poop in Munich like in Berlin. But you have to know finding an apartment in Munich is hell. It's pure HELL. If you are Foreigner than it's even hellier:-).
Get your butt out of this country. That's what we all are going to do.
But if you have To stay and you have a good job just I would say go to hamburg. It's a pretty city with nice bars and people. Still Germans and mentally ill but waaaaaaas better than Berlin .
Y'all talking about positivity, mental healthiness and peace and in the same sentence you're becoming a racist fornicate because you say poop like "all guys from east germany are creepy fucks". This website could be literally AnyBiggerCityEverHater.com. Special snowflakes
I have never ever had any problem to communicate with people. I have lived in Austria, UK and Holland before moving to Germany. I made so many friends most of them were temporary, some of them were permanent friends who I still keep in touch with. Anyways, my point is, I have never ever experienced feeling alone.
However, everything became upside down when I moved to Germany for post graduates studies. Yes, I was deceived by free education and Germany needs skilled labour force trap. This year is my 5th year in this country, I have finished my studies, I have a job which pays okay but I feel extremely alone, purposeless, hopeless, depressive, no friends etc. You know these feelings... All of these feelings are related with this country. Too many things are wrong for a normal, decent human being here. I am feeling like I am stuck in this country.
I have to keep working couple more years to raise the funds I need to support my move to another country. I hope, I will be achieving my target.
Living in Germany as foreigner like you are already experiencing the hell without even dying physically but this country makes your soul fade first then death.
What you need to do to be accepted, do not show any form of spontaneity, become an irresponsible alcoholic or/and drug user, chain smoke, listen to monotonous techno crap for three days straight, eat doners for breakfast lunch and dinner, act as though you know everything about everything and be as rude as you think you can get away with. Never be generous with money, time or spirit, never even think about reciprocity and ever, under any circumstances say something optimistic or outside of the politically correct boxes.
Then and only then will you be accepted and maybe even feted.
Here's some better advice, run Forrest, run.
The woman I was madly in love with took a short trip to Berlin last year. When she came back she was already in a relationship with some Kraut. She now lives there and is pregnant with his child
In kreuzberg, ubanhof, guy with needle in arm, people around drinking beer.
Lived in new york city for 8 years. Never seen picture like that above.
Germany is a pure nightmare
Welcome to our nightmare, and it will only get worse, not better because of lefty political correctness not allowing people to call a spade a spade. If I was a dictator, the first to be put to real work would be the AntFa fascists, feminists and then greenies. That would get Berlin back on track again.
I am curious if anyone experienced the same: Are Germans really really unable to apologise and feel remorse? I find it extremely bizarre how they can box it and move on like nothing happened when they anger or hurt someone else.
Accidentally slightly bump into them and say "entschuldigung" (sorry) and they give you a dirty look.
The worse is when they are at fault and still give you a dirty look after you say sorry.
The best move I ever made was moving out of Berlin. I was cool for awhile in the early 00's, but not for the last 8 years, maybe even 10 years.
Student cities are full of 'know-it-all' SJW morons who have had no real life experience. They are brainwashed by lefty professors and think they are infallible, then set about totally fcking Berlin up, when what they should do is shut the fck up and stop virtue signalling.
Just read about the murder of Wilson Gavin in Australia. It happened just hours after Australia's entire media condemned the guy for protesting something called Drag Queen Story Hour (yes seriously). What the hell kind of child abuse is this? It's now all over the world and, of course, also in Berlin.
Drag Queen Story Hour in Berlin with creepy men named Geena Tequila and Antina Christ (among others).

Why would anyone do this to their child?
BERLIN
Braindead

Nazti ;o)
Being here for a while (almost 3 years) and I haven’t found a decent person to date, German or not.
It’s concerning... Either I am from a different planet or something is off.
I am a woman, and I find most guys to be weird, or wimpy, immature or plain losers. The ones available at least, regardless age.
Being told regularily that I have high standards and/or I am intimidating and that’s my issue, but... I promise, it‘s not the case.
What happened to Berlin? Where are the men?
Nonetheless, I cannot really blame them. Women are awful too.
I usually get male attention (that I do not really want as I don’t like to mislead anyone/friendzone dudes that like me but I don’t like back in that way. I am good with my ego. Don’t need validation by hurting anyone’s feelings) and passive aggressive behavior from women.
One time I even thought I befriended a German girl that seemed cool. Turns out she hated my guts even though she acted like a strong, independent woman that can pluck around as she wants to pluck around.
She was really miserable that guys would pluck her anytime, but be more interested in me as a person to talk to than to her.
Women here can be some rotten, miserable b!tches with an evil core.
I am chill, but still WOW: Almost 3 years and no decent prospects yet and little to no female friends.
Everyone here, both male and female, act like they were sexually abused as children. They have a very strange relationship with sex, and they seem to want to completely deny that they have emotions. Why anyone would want to date a German is beyond me. As for immaturity, that's the logical result of an overbearing nanny state. Germans don't have any real responsibility and it's crippling. They don't have to care for or love their children and they don't have to help with their parents. They don't really even have to care for themselves. It's a never-ending state of adolescence that grows gradually colder and greyer as they age and inevitably lose hope and happiness (assuming they possess the ability to feel either) due to the normal tribulations of life. I have never met a sadder group of people in my life.
German men sit down to pee, don't eat meat because it's nAzI, don't eat onions, get drunk after 2 beers, don't shower often enough, have bad breath and/or lack teeth, are not romantic, are awkward, are selfish.
The handsome, masculine German men died during the last world war. Back then even women in enemy territories would hook up with them. Nowadays the only women eager to date a German man are desperate third worlders who want a visa.
Germans can't drive for shit. Nowhere else in the world have I seen highways or freeways or autobahns or whatever you want to call high speed roads where traffic literally stands still for hours sometimes because of a small fender bender. Sure there's traffic elsewhere but only in Germany do I see bumper to bumper cars that don't move AT ALL for hours. Germans are so bad at driving that they only have two lanes on most autobahns here because they'd probably ho insane if they had a larger choice. People in Berlin seem to be even worse drivers though. They don't know or respect the zipper, they double park all over the place, they speed all the time (especially when they see you crossing the road ahead). They think being aggressive behind the wheel means they're competent. Most are just real jerks. And they all have extensive driving classes and pay around 2000 euro to be this bad? Give me a break, what a load of absolute retards.
Plus all these idiots in the city that brush up against each other at intersections and then leave their cars there while they call the police. I see this all the time where they block two lanes of traffic because they're so concerned that a tiny 2cm scratch must be documented by the police. Country of brainless assholes.
Made the mistake of taking the train this morning to work. Wagon was full of fat Marzahn Cindys and Chantals who were celebrating a bachelorette party at freaking 7am, drunk and loud like retarded sluts. Wearing those retarded dick-shaped hairbands and drinking from plastic champagne glasses. Icing on the cake was sone poor refugee-looking guy sitting next to them and looking extremely uncomfortable. freaking Miss Piggy looking aryan whores.
I feel sorry for that chap who thought that he could find a nice life in Germany. Funny enough, I think he would have been better off in the UK or even Italy. I have seen my fair share of stag nights and bachelorette parties (from distance, of course), but never at 7am, that is another level of scumbags altogether.
