Does anyone have a explanation for this situation? I was getting a wagon to go shopping and I put away my cigarette away from the door before I wanted to go in. There were these 2 dumb doors...actually why is it not just one door. Entrance to the right, exit to the left. So I happened to make a bit of a turn because I threw away my cigarette and ended up at the exit and there was someone coming out. I only saw the exit and therefore went to entrance but there was this person. And I stopped because she also stopped but her wagon was a few inches in the way so I couldn't get in. She looked at me. I didn't know what she wanted. I said I believe you have to go first. And she then did but she looked at me as if I was up to something. Did she think I was kidding her? I just can't comprehend her behaviour. I don't really care but maybe someone knows. I mean wtf was she thinking, that I meant to bother her, how is this possible? I didn't feel to fill her in at all because she wasn't even receptible for that. Something like: I was just doing a mistake eben maturely said as in far above it, because she could wrapped that up in her movie it feels. I felt bothered by her. I only stopped because she was in the way. How could she possibly act like that? How could she assume it was about her since it seems pretty obvious that I mistook something simply. I feel a strong need now to have said Wtf do you want? I miss the satisfaction of her seeing it the same. Is it stupidity?
Now that I think about it, I did stop because I did expect there to be the entrance. Maybe it appeared different to her. These things happen not rarely. Maybe it looked to her like I wanted to go in there but then stopped because she was there and I was angry I couldn't get in. So maybe I had said: Noo :) I don't mean to get in there, I happened to confuse the door :) which would be irritating if I justified with it. Like something felt off to say I believe you have to go first, which I'd say actually in a light way but I couldn't because of her movie and how it had appeared to her, that I though didn't see. It feels a misunderstanding is what was up with it.
Or even if I couldn't figure it, I would assume nothing bad and feel as I do which is something like ?? but with her so to speak. I feel these things do not require to read unreal hard to get pov's but to go with your feel. Especially because this wud not appear any false way in her movie since she cud see I am confused. And I remember I said very distantly I believe you have to go first, yet I perceived her as opposing to me and she likely perceived me the same way towards her. So it's just whatever, since it's always a misunderstanding anyway and kinda lame to fear it since it's always the same and feeling the right way will take care of everything.
"I'm just being human but it feels not natural to think about it." -
That is what you need to understand: there is no humanity in Germans. You are trying to analyze people with hearts filled with hatred, bitterness and no empathy (see WW2 for more proof if needed), added on top of this they are racist and have a superiority complex - that is the answer right there. If this is how you spend your time rather than trying to formulate a plan to leave, then that will be your fault. In no normal society does one have to deal with such f** up behaviour and interactions as with Germans and Berliners. She probably saw you as a dirty foreigner which is why she scowled at you - thats the painful truth- take it or leave it.
I have noticed that in Germany I actively try not to connect with people anymore. Even if they seem decent and do something showing a tiny spark of humanity like cracking a joke or something similar I'll just sarcastically smile and avoid eye contact. I guess I am trying to out-German the Germans. Luckily I can turn that off when abroad but it's pathological and widespread. I think Berlin might be making me autistic though.
I know now why it feels not natural. Because I wasn't listening to my feel. I wanted to throw the cig in front of the door and then thought about where to throw it cause I didn't want to put it there and just didn't feel confident overall. Kinda on the wrong track, like a lack of own impulse. And it can't be good to make adjustments from there, and feels already stretched and not intuitive.
Leaving Germany was the BEST DECISION EVER. Its a nasty country, full of nasty, greedy, incompetent fools and unnecessary bureaucracy aimed at frustrating foreigners in particular. A vile county in Europe.
"I spent the best part of a year in Germany. I wish I had never bothered coming here" -
I hear you. I only spent 4 months in Germany and deeply regretted it after the 1st month. Took another 3 Months to leave - I suggest you do the same. The country is annoying and a complete waste of time.
Had to wait 2 hours for food at a trendy restaurant. Complained three times. Didn’t get one apology. Didn’t get anything extra as compensation. Asked for an explanation. Got a shrug. Germans are hopeless. Too much pride. Not willing to take responsibility for their failings. Too cowardly to apologise. Too pathetic to say sorry, we screwed up. Shameless and inconsiderate people. We had guests and they couldn’t believe the lack of care. I explained in Germany the customer is always wrong. I am not spoilt but we were hungry... it was literally two hours, I don’t exaggerate. It is the Brazen indifference which gets me. So painfully frustrating. They just don’t give a shit. I’m tired of explaining to guests why it is this way. This encounter summarises why I loathe to be a consumer in this place. Everything becoming expensive in this dump... and for what...
Loved this comment! Sums up so much wrong with Germans and Berlin PERFECTLY!!! "Germans are hopeless. Too much pride. Not willing to take responsibility for their failings. Too cowardly to apologise. Too pathetic to say sorry, we screwed up. Shameless and inconsiderate people. " TOTALLY!!! Plus they are control freaks in that they like to boss around foreigners and make their lives difficult.. and you are right too: Berlin is now expensive as hell... For NOTHING.
I read on here somewhere once that young children are encouraged to be more "assertive" from kindergarten onward and that ones with manners are reprimanded. I don't know if it's true but I believe it. Continentals seem to all have this outdated mentality yo be honest but Germans seem to actually be proud of being rude. At least the French have a rich culture and cuisine behind their rudeness. Germans just have more rudeness and war.
The moral of the story is this. Berlin is full of dog turd and @rseholes. Germany is grey, bland and boring. Germans are miserable, weird and smell odd. The end.
During 2006, it was estimated that 55 tons of dogsh*t was created DAILY in Berlin. I am not disputing this but I have two questions:
1. How did they arrive at this figure? Lol
2. What would that figure be now?
Anyone leaving for a spa and fitness holiday and in need of a travelmate? I would honestly love to leave Berlin for at least some days to one or 2 weeks^^
If you go by trai to Poznan, from there you can get a cheap LOT.com flight to Rzeszow and then a short bus ride to ptasieradiobrzozow.pl/en/home/ Its a vegan retreat, they give you breakfast and dinner plus a room for anout €25 per night. Just make a sandwich or two for the day time adventures. There's a vegan friendly cafe nearby as well. If yo hear of any other vegan places, please let me know.
Typical knuckledragger meat eaters. Go and have a holiday in a cave. 'Normal people' eating rottng corpses, if that's normal, you are welcme to it. You show no empathy or respect to the animals and the the miserable lives they live before selfish morons create demand for them to be murdeed because you like the taste. Oh, you like the taste, well I suppose in your narcissitic minds, that enough reason to take another's life. You make be ashamed to be a part of the human race. No remorse, no shame, no empathy, no comapssion, no guilt, if you ask me that fits the profile of a psychopath. Enjoy your blood, guts and flesh.
Hey dickwad, I was responding tothe post before you, my original post didn't have anything to do with my beliefs, I only said that as a response to the f'kwit saying that people who eat vegan food aren't normal:
if you would bother to look at the link, you'll find the place is in the middle of nature, and they are often booked out, so if it's not to your taste, just STFU, moron.
And before some new age German pedo apologist comes at me for having the audacity to question coed nudity, search google for ample evidence of rampant sexual assaults in German spas. E.g.
m.tagesspiegel.de/berlin/sexuelle-uebergriffe-in-ludwigsfelder-therme-heimliche-fotos-in-der-sauna/8245980.html
German spas are probably the only place in the western world where feminist sexual assault stats are actually accurate.
Labourers wanted!
We are currently seeking enthusiastic and dynamic workers to assist in the growth of our organisation. We specialise in the manufacture and distribution of fertiliser and soil improvers. Therefore we require energetic and disciplined workers to assist in collection of dogsh*t from all around the Berlin area. Bags, mask, a bicycle and a large cart will be provided. Work hours will be between 6 and 6 everyday.
Please get in touch today for an interview. We'd love to hear from you :)
Classic humour, you should work for the Onion.com :o)))))
Berlin's a dump. Not sure whether it's the people or the history that' s to blame.
Many people in Berlin drink to much, take too many drugs or are on anti-depressants. The truth is that the best drug you can take is: leaving Berlin. It brings joy, happiness and peace of mind...on a level you can never acheive living in that dump with its scummy residents.
Personally, I have met a fair share of friendly and generous Germans in Berlin. The thing is, they just can't make up for all the douchebags out there. It's a numbers game. But it's not individuals who are to blame. If you go to meetup, you will find lots of nice Germans offering hiking or language exchange events. And yes, they do speak English.
I'm over trying. Maybe there's some tiny percentage that is decent but the vast majority is not. I've done my best to make the best out of Berlin and continue to fail miserably. At this point I would have to be kind of insane to even be cautiously optimistic with Germans. Weird that I don't have problems elsewhere.
I've made lovely friends in Berlin. Not one of them is German. Spanish, French, Danish, American, Polish, Canadian, Australian, Mexican. Not a single German. I've made casual acquaintances with Germans that have been fine, but as soon as you actually get to know them and have any sort of relationship with them you see their true colours. Arrogant, judgemental and self serving and also permanent victims. I have four weeks left here, I will miss my friends when I leave, but I will not miss this city or this country. I will never return.
I'm on vacation for a week outside of Germany and the EU and my dreams of being away from Germans keep being shattered. I keep running into these savages all over the place. You can sense them by their dour faces and negative energy even before hearing their dumb accents or seeing their stupid Jack Wolfskin and Lowepro backpacks. They're constantly slamming doors, barking at each other like concentration camp guards and sniffing/blowing their noses. I hate Germans so much. I wish they'd stay in their own trash hole of a country or just all simultaneously drop dead. Have you ever seen a smiling German? Maybe when they're stoned out of their brains or drunk as hell, maybe if they're shrieking their stupid emotional political opinions to you or laughing at you for falling down or something. At least it has been refreshing to have people here who, after they bump into me, have apologized. Then I'll encounter some kraût MFer who can't seem to stand in line without leaning into me or touching me in some way like a cow herded into a small pen. And don't even get me started on this ugly, harsh language. It's like LARPing being stuck in Dachau.
Lets actually take a moment and look at that. Everybody kind of laughs when somebody trip or fall down, aside when sb is hurt. There is actually something good behind it. Because the reason to fall or stumble can be some kind of relief from something and it looks a bit funny. Now do they laugh because somebody feels bad? No, they are innocent, they assume the person would laugh about themselves, which is the whole original meaning of it in a way. And adults they can't laugh because they see it as something bad. While at the same time it is bad since they received the feedback then. But is it really? Because they only see it like that because they only see that, since the person who tripped anticipates it also being bad and therefore would seemingly feel bad but in actuality it doesn't feel bad when an innocent child laughs because something appeared funny. So is it about to not think of the other? And the answer is no, it's about to see why it is good. People also love to give blame, like you innocently might laugh and they see that as a reason to express their feelings they had by seeing such a bad thing thing then, you could say as a side-effect. You know they trip and are not on the easy side but not see that as something normal. Especially children might also laugh because of that. Like they were innocently laughing, then somebody gave them poop and then they laugh what seems like something bad maybe. I mean Idk, but the question is can you see that with empathy when somebody trips or would that actually be bad for someone. And yeah you could feel for how they feel when they not cool with it. At the same time we don't like to see it even such ways and it just natural then to laugh I feel. Long story, it is funny in the sense that they shud laugh about it themselves and a feeling is always innocent, you could even laugh from seeing it so seriously. But okay, maybe children laugh because they expect the other one to also laugh and adults just know they don't do that, so they can't really laugh, I mean it's not that they don't find it funny but the thing is a relationship thing. And yeah I think children or rather teenagers do such, they naturally feel to laugh and then feel relief from seeing it so seriously and then they might laugh and it really not mean any bad but they might think so. I mean they might kindly hold it back cause it might be misunderstood and we just we feel bad then even if we didn't intend it. So adults usually don't. But the thing is when something is funny and you just go with your feel (and I really mean funny, something good not some shitt where you try to not laugh and laugh because of that)
Had a Polish neighbor who was a real nuisance. He wouldn't stop smoking weed, and there was no way to prevent the smoke from getting into my flat. Especially nice when going to sleep, in the middle of the night or just waking up (coming through the closed door or a tilted window). Apparently, he sold grass to some of the people in the house, which made him very popular, and was said by a former roommate to receive stolen goods. Property management didn't give a fart, because he always paid his rent on time (all they seem to care about). Then, it suddenly stopped a couple months ago. Oh joy! No more of this poop. He was nowhere to be seen - even better! Strangely and alarmingly, it looked like his stuff was still there, but new people living in the place. Someone had witnessed the forcing open of the door by police officers. But when asked, the new guys (his mates) came up with a story of him having "family issues" in Poland (wink, wink, lol). They also said he's coming back soon. NOOOO! :-...(
Another neighbor, who knows him a bit, thinks he's probably dodging a fine by hiding his shady butt in Poland. This story is weird in every way. Just hoping he will stay away. Sad to think of this as being an actual concern. In Berlin, standards are so low that you must alrady be grateful for not having some scruffy, redundant neighbor turning the house into a filthy, run-down headshop.
Berlin attracts the lowest of the low like flies and roaches to dank garbage. It's truly a city/country of rejects and idiots. How else can you explain having to go through 3 years of training to work in a shop or in a restaurant? And to then still be terrible at your job!! :-D That alone is all the proof I need that the average German is mentally challenged.
What am I on about? I'm on about a city of extremely dumb people who accept a very low standard of living in exchange for the guarantee that they'll never have to in any way fend for themselves. Which is fine if you have an IQ below 80 but not fine if you're not dumber than 90% of a normal population outside of Germany.
I'm out of Germany, and still have to do some personal business with a bank there on the phone, OMG, even just hearing their voices gives me the creeps, and on top of that the user-unfriendly systems they have. Their banking system is like being in a Kafka novel. They go out of their way to sound overly 'efficient', but show no empathy whatsoever. I'm never sure if I should despise them or pity them
It's because German companies are top heavy with SOPs for some routine scenarios but nothing to cover anything outside of common cases. Then you couple that with fleets of low-level workers with no authority to do anything and extreme fear of their bosses and nothing gets done.
Haha, you nailed it! Once tried to open an account. Didn't work because sth. happened that wasn't provided. Sent the application form and the proof of identity in two separate envelopes (should have been one). They never found a way to work around it, although they said they'd sort it out on the phone and via e-mail. Would have had to send them the papers again, but couldn't be bothered. Like wtf...if they can't even deal with that, that's a heads-up for more monkey business.
true story: i am doing my psycho therapy after working with a narcissistic German chef and having a "thing" with a damaged German for far too long.
my fault, i know :(
'my fault, i know :('
You're human and we all make mistakes. I'm wondering how long it's going to take me to recover from being here. physically and financially it shouldn't take too long but I hope this fked up depression won't follow me or hang around.
After leaving Berlin and Germany:
- I have rediscovered life
- Stopped drinking
- found inner calm.
Berlin and Germany are very bad for the soul (as it is a soulless, nasty and gormless country and place with a disgusting vibe) and will lead to mental health evaporation and substance abuse if you stay too long...thats for sure.
Everyone talks about leaving this city being the best thing ever. How do you do it? If you just go to any old where, there's a chance of you ending up in a place that's not even better. Do you make elaborate escape plans before you leave? This "just leave and things will be alright" just sounds too good to be true.
Hum...lots of places in Europe turning into shiteholes. Spain, Italy, Greece...nice but declining economy. France? Yellow jackets and other problems. UK? Brexit. Sweden? Being taken over by muslims and SJWs. Eastern Europe? Well...maybe some tiny parts. But seriously, who'd leave in good spirits with prospects like these? If you have some recommendations, please share.
IThat person is probably a jobless German troll, with nothing better to do and who has the typical German authority complex. Thats the thing with Germans: they are always trying to get one up over you.... this person cannot handle that everyone sane and smart thinks Berlin is a sh*hole.....
Surely there are many sh*tholes out there, but only Berlin hosts so many Germans. Germany is phucked up altogether due to German mentality. I never seen such people in my life, incapable of forming meaningful social or romantic relationships, just robots. Germany suck.
