It's self important, politically active scene, consistently causing more problems than they solve, constantly attempting to feel good about themselves and redress the balance of history.
The fact that every single Berliner is so quick to belittle English speaking people who are trying to learn their language.
The fact that everytime you leave the room, you get the feeling that you are being spoken about. The fact that this isn't down to paranoia but down to fact.
The unmasked Xenophobia and the fact that deep down, they all wish that Berlin would just be for Germans, right wing and left wing. "Auslander Raus/Gentrifizierug!!!!"
I could go on and one day, I will....

Once I got assaulted by someone who looked like a neo-nazi near Moritzplatz, that didn't bothered me as much as seeing a policeman 50m away watching the whole action doing nothing. Right after this incident I approached the officer asking why he didn't act upon what was happening in front of him to which he replied (roughly translated): "The law is only for Germans not for filthy immigrants". That single line is going to haunt me all my life.

Got punched in the mouth by a drunk Nazi-wannabe and needed five stitches to close the gosh darn wound. And this in super-hip swinging Neukolln! The paramedics treated it lightly and put a freaking tiny band-aid on a wound which went right through to my teeth. Great people, these Berliners. NOT!

1. Berlin is a xenophobic place, no matter how much they want to look multicultural, they hate everything is not white and german
2. Unemployment and black work. Here is almost impossible to find a job unless you speak an academic german, even if you just want to work as a dishwasher, aand if you find a job is almost certain a job without contract where you get fired after 2 months because they have found an other poor immigrant to exploit for less than 6 euros per hour.
3. hipsters, wannabe-artists, party-centred lifestyle.
4. the weather. Rain, black sky, cold. just depressing.
5. coldness of people.
6. leftist movements and their imperialist ideas
7. techno everywhere, from spätkauf to finanzamt
8. it is almost impossible to create a monogamist relationship
9. kids, kids everywhere, imposed children worship
10. The fact that i escaped from a country where i lived with depression, poverty, solitude to arrive in a place where i did not know i would have lived again the same things. I CANNOT WAIT TO HAVE MONEY AND GET THE fornicate OUT OF HERE

As a male, I resent having to pee sitting down. But what can I do? My wife is German. What's really unfair is that every time she wants to pee on my face (which is often) I have to lie down on the bathroom floor anyway. It doesn't make any sense.
I realize the problem is not specific to Berlin, but the city does have the world's highest number of backwards facing prostates per capita.

unbearable SUPERFICIAL people who define themselves through nothing else but clubs and doing drugs. The more clubs you go and drugs you take, the cooler you are. people won't ask you for your interests anymore, instead it is "so... which clubs do you usually go to?" as if that is all there is to define ones personality. Berlin sucks, unless you are empty and superficial.

It is trying to be something, and I have absolutely no idea what that something is. This is why most of us are frustrated and angry. Most cities proudly boast or at least blatantly accept what they stand for ("We are all about IMMIGRANTS BRINGING IN MONEY" or "We are all about TOURISM" or "We are built on TECHNOLOGICAl INNOVATION" or whatever) but Berlin? Pretending to be something it is not. And I have no idea what that something is. That's the most enraging, and embarrassing part of living in that city. Their try-hardness is so transparent--they want to be some kind of 70's-era NYC if the grunge era happened during that time...or something?--and apart from the WW2 guilt memorials, what the everloving feck is Berlin all about? Bunch of posers, desperately attempting to turn it into an artistic / cultural mecca. Emphasis on desperately. If everyone there could just relax and be themselves, it might actually be a city worth staying in, and one with all the potential in the world.

Sorry about the War Thing, Berlin, but you are overcompensating so hard you have become self-parody.

Had to go into the city the other day by S and U bahn to a meeting - my car in in the shop :( I had truly forgotten just how disgusting and smelly this place is and how hard people try to look dirty and broke. I walked a bit around Kotti, it was a bright sunny day full of activity but still people were scowling and tons of drunks and beggars and people selling garbage... or art, sorry, on every spare piece of dirty bottle cap covered grass.
I took a long shower when I got home.

Come to Berlin. You will have fun as long as you are trashy and white.
"We will have equal rights for all. Except blacks, Asians, Hispanics, Jews, gays, women, Muslims. Uhmm...Everybody who's not a white man. And I mean white-white, so no Italians, no Polish, just people from Ireland, England, and Scotland. But only certain parts of Scotland and Ireland. Just full blooded whites. No, you know what? Not even whites. Nobody gets any rights."
