...
I will try to articulate myself as much as possible:
1) Passive Aggressive: germans consider themselves as honest and direct, what I often see, is passive-aggressive behavior and nothing more, they are dead scared to say the truth and can only, at best, imply it.
2) They don't look around: I don't recall the last time i bumped into so many people, they just don't move from their path, I used to be thoughtful and always make room for people to pass through, recently I have stopped since I got sick of it. The outcome: a lady bumped into me (and I bumped into her), she was blaming me of women's hatred.
3) The language: It's not enough to speak the language, one has to comply to the way they speak it, otherwise no one will make the effort to understand you. I am a student who studies and german, write exams and exercises in german, but I have stopped speaking german entirely, as I feel no one understands what I am saying.
And at last, this techno peace of poop culture and attitude, my worst decision was to move to kreuzberg, I have become resentful hating male genitalia since I moved here, I was always dark and morbid, but now it's whole new level
What's up with the clothing style here? The best dressed are the tourists! Native Berliners wear things that weren't even cool in the late 80s/early 90s. Middle aged women seem to only wear ill-fitted shirts with leggings. Looks like rags! Young men wear shorts & t-shirts that are beyond ugly, and always in grey or black. Don't get me started on middle-aged men - denim shorts that are at least 20 years old, old techno-style t-shirts, old tattoos full on display. Actually, the best dressed Berliners are the children!
Filthy Mussie on the tram tonight playing his cat wailing Mussie music out loud on his iPhone, I politely asked if he had earphones, and he became very agressive. I thought, OK, it's on, so I sized up my MO and then realized in his other hand was a bottle of drink bottle, so I thought better of it. I have 5 days left here, so I just have to block the freaks and creeps out and just leave this hellhole to them, that's my best revenge.
Have you noticed how rude and unfriendly cashier are ? Be it at the Bakery,Grocery Store or Pharmacy they have no manners and can't even say "Hello" or "Thanks" . What I noticed is that the cashier are almost women who are extremely rude and unfriendly. Such filthy cunts...
Yes, they sometimes don't even say hello. There were 2 people in front of me in the queue and they were having quite a chat with the cashier. It took longer but okay, I saw it that she gotto relax a little, have a chat, I didn't mind. But then when it was my turn she doesn't say hello. I said Hellloo, can you no longer talk? I realized it was quite hilarious, I mean it cheered me up.
Migrants who call themselves "expats".
Speaking of feeling superior ;)
America is a sh1thole, centuries behind, sole place in western Europe w capital punishment and people fighting to ban abortion. You should be ashamed, Europeans are whenever we are related to you somehow. Not to mention the crass stupidity and ignorance. Disgrace.
Japan also has capital punishment and it is closest to being a first world country. Definitely economically and technologically superior to all of Europe. I guess if you like criminals then maximum sentences of 20 years make sense. People with brains don't agree, though.
Japan very much has the same set of values as Europe - its entire legal system is based on Central European law! The only distinction you can draw here is that they aren't white. But I have the feeling you aren't here to in any way defend your group's opinions because you aren't intelligent enough to view anything critically that the European Left says. I know this because you fail to see the contradiction of condemning capital punishment for *convicted* criminals as barbaric while claiming abortion is fine because an arbitrary age determines human life in the European Left's mind.
I am thankful that my ancestors abandoned this vile continent and create the most successful country in the history of the world. You should be happy that we rescued Europe in more ways than one over the past century. I wish we would have left you to be a Russian colony so we could see how well you'd be doing now.
Drop your crap, NO ONE LIKES YOU. You are fking deluded. You abandoned this vile continent, good, don't feel the urge to come back because you are unwanted. You are the ones who caused all the mess with the refugees and crap and still bragging about saving us from the Russians? Go open a book and go back to the shthole where you belong.
Being called stupid by an American is delightful, you made my day, Now I am done, goodbye.
Yeah, comparing capital punishment to abortion is completely silly because there were 35,000 times as many abortions in 2018 than there were cases of capital punishment in the US. I know it's difficult to critically analyze things when you've never been exposed to actual facts so I'll accept that you're "done" now. I'm glad you figured out how to upvote your own comments since you obviously don't know how to form an argument or have a coherent opinion.
And, by the way, Germany has more restrictions on abortion than the US so your argument isn't even relevant from your own view point.
Adults who try to "scandalise" you w kinkiness that wouldn't scandalise my grandma. Grow up, morons, you're in your thirties, even forthies, the age of rebellion is long gone. You're just pathetic.
If you want to make 25,000 USD per yearand pay 1500 EUR permonth in rent, this is the City for you.
Smoking virtually everywhere... you get out of a place and even your panties stink of cigarette. Yuck.
I used to love Berlin, when I was in my apartment, closed off from the Multi-Kulti zoo, the radical 'lefties' otherwise known as losers and fascist thugs, the druggies, the alcoholics with fried brains, the stupid idiotic 'casinos', the putrid hatred in the eyes of sexist victim-Feminists. The constant protests that are anti this, anti that and anti everythng else, but never with solutions from pea-brain fake anarchists.
The morons who follow like sheep, stupid trends, tattoos, kinky sex, piercings, brain-dead rap and techno, and then pretend they are alternative and individuals.
Berlin is full of poseurs and out-right fakes and flakes. In fact, the east-berliners are probably the most down-to-earth and real, mainly because they have good family connections, whereas most peple in Berlin have no immediate family to feel safe and wanted, so they try to get those feelings elsewhere, forcing them to fit-in with the crowd, no matter what insane trend is going around at the time.
Have you noticed how many idiots smoke cigarettes here.
If you ask if it is good to stay in Germany or not, I can say from my own experience that Austria is better! You don't have to want to go to Vienna. Austria has many great places. Job offers are on the internet and it is up to you what you do. Berlin is a city where people never smile and when they laugh so they are drunk or under the influence of drugs! I know from my own experience that Austrians and Swiss do not like Germans. Today I know why no one likes the Germans. When I arrived in Berlin some time ago I had no opinion on the Germans. After almost two years in this hell, I just want to get away. Do a good thing for yourself and stop believing that something good awaits you in Berlin. Visit Austria and you may wake up!
I would liketo hear the opinions of those who have lived both in Berlin and elsewhere in Germany. Do you think that there are some things/behaviours typically German, a mentality, and if so, what are they?
I'm trying to understand how they are as a people as I've found that they are different outside of Berlin but I suspect they're generally a bit narrow-minded...
Cologne and Hamburg are much better than this shiithole. Although, I do have a few ex-DDR friends who are really nice people, but just 20 years behind in their thinking and can't cope with capitalism, in the same way that we foreign mostly English speaking people, wouldn't be able to cope with communism if it was thrust upon us.
I lived for 4 years in Salzburg and I did not complain about anything. I still have good Austrian friends. Then I took a job in Berlin. I didn't know what was waiting for me. Living in Berlin is like living in a lunar crater! The worst in Berlin is the ignorance of local people and lonest. I still like to remember Austria and the people there!
Of course I will return to Austria! Just because of their hospitality culture and for quality food! I'll tell everyone that Berlin is a city full of alcoholics and fools. Berliners don't have a wall in the middle of town, but they have a wall in their heads!!!
The world would be beautifully if there weren't Millennials and Berliners ..
What is the name of the Berlin tribe with the tattoos all over their faces and often their bodies, are they fascists, anarchists or just freaks. Oh and also the piercngs. Is it all supposed to mean something, make a statement or just a symptom of drug and alcohol brain damage. Does anyone know.
What is with the job ads here?? Is this a fvckin joke?! I don't know how many times I've seen the word "cool" being misused by these retards that cannot even write in proper English??
This must be a nightmare WTF
the next level: hate the haters! that´s "cool"...
what job ads?
ahah totally!!... I just wrote yesterday on another pos about loneliness: "[...]…and when I read of “work-life balance” in some job description make me sick. Especially from a freaking young-multiculti-startup."
They are definitely Nr. 1 on my Hate-List :)
