Bunch of whining immigrants who refuse to assimilate and only complain. Oops they call themselves expats. Yeah, expats on minimum wage.
Oh yes, I was forgetting, the self appointed authorities of reason and opinion who think that only this fashionable, pseudo left wing mindset should be accepted and refuse any kind of differing point of view, because they're all artists and "intellectuals" they will always be right, just say a couple of quite common things about banks or youths or unemployment and take for granted that all this new wave of hippie mentality is the only righteous thing to think and be content with it, and in the meantime complain about anyone who's not a dosser in Berlin and doesn't like it, because you must be a capitalist pig if you can't "assimilate" in this vibrant, active city! It sounds like an authoritarian mandate, assimilate or die!!! Better bring in the Gestapo and deal with these nasty immigrants!! But only with the ones that won't swallow this poop place, not the braindead ones who are happy to comply
First there's no such thing as "minimum wage" in Germany, that's the "job miracle" they created and are so proud about. Second, it's not even relevant, because even if you wanted to work for 3€ an hour you couldn't, no one in Berlin has a job, that's why the only time of day the transportation system is busy is at 4am so everyone can go back home after a night of blissful oblivion an deletion of their nasty national past. Get your facts right.
That people are so flaky here, that people are too "cool" to call you for weeks, the overabundance of "artistes", hipsters, the crappy and juvenile gay scene here, the long winter, the ubiquity of dog poop in certain areas..
Came here with the intention of working 3 weeks ago, no jobs and absolutely nothing to do here other than be cold and drink. How can a european city be so shit? Now trying to plan my escape. But slowly running out of money. Oh and they really don't have a sense of humor. However, it's not the worst place Seoul takes the medal.
freaking hipsters everywhere with smug little attitudes of entitlement, pretentious pricks with no brains or any own opinions at all, nothing to do except go out and behave like an idiot yourself to the sound of repetitive annoying sounds (so called music here), people wearing stupid clothes spending lots of money to look like tramps, no real culture or art just empty praising and backpatting over mediocrity, twats... but you have to love the beer and how cheap it is (as long as you stay away from the places the supposedly broke hipsters hang out in, they have enough to pay for lattes but not for furniture or rent). Joining the rest of the moaners and hopefully leaving soon.
I wasn't refering to the Germans, I mean I think these idiots that plague this city are coming from everywhere. It's also a generational issue involving mainly people under 30, actually the Germans I have met in their 40s have been really nice, funny and honest people. My problem are all these pretenders around with the little attitudes and the club mate...
Hahaha, fair enough. You're right I was probably confusing funny with funny to look at, they do have the oddest sense (or lack thereof) of humour. This is such a BORING place, there's absolutely nothing to do... It's a trap that lures you in with cheap cost of living and then of course you get what you pay for, mediocre poop place.

If most of these Poms(aka Brits) and Yanks leave Berlin, there will not be much to hate.
I mainly hate your awful, changing ever 5 seconds, backgrounds that make it impossible to read anything here without having an epileptic fit. Get rid of that poop ASAP!
As a pedestrian, you've got about 8.5 seconds to cross the street on the "green man"...and even if there are zero cars coming from anywhere, at all, God help you if you try dash across the street on the red and Germans are around to witness this. The fact that you have technically not followed a rule--that you have somehow trampled upon their public order and are negatively influencing the children with your unforgivable crime--will fornicate them up for the rest of the day, and they will let you know this straightaway. To spare yourself a verbal public flaying, just stand there waiting for the green man with everyone else, even if nothing but tumbleweeds are rolling down the street.
The 2 constant streams of snot that cover the top lip for 9 months of the year the minute you step outside....
People always say that Berlin is so cool because you can do ANYTHING here and people don't care. But it's because they don't care that you can do anything here. Like fall off your bike in front of a crowded cafe, break your wrist and, literally, have 20 people just watch. This actually happened to a friend of mine. Not a single person came to her aid. Individually the people I have met in Berlin have been great but collectively they suck. If they don't know you, you are fucked. If you burst into flames on the Ubahn they would just roll their eyes, mutter something rude and then push past you to get off at their stop. Ever wondered how the Nazis did the poop they did & no one stopped them? Move to Berlin & you'll understand. No one smiles at each other on the street or chats on the subway platform. I've had people actually scowl at me when I've smiled at them. I've heard Germans say that Americans are fake & overly friendly. We call it being polite. It's almost funny that they view friendliness with such suspicion, if it wasn't so soul-deadening.
Poor babies in snot green ski suits.....
Nice too see I / We are not alone after reading others comments on this page, spread the word and speak the truth Berlin is 1 big sad depressing poop hole for at least 9 months of the year on a daily basis.
The way the alcohol section is the biggest in every supermarket,
can´t wait for the non germans to slowly start returning to other places to let berlin to slowly rot, at least when the germans have depressed you you have their ugly weird faces to laugh at....
Lots of foreign hipster types, mostly from upper middle class suburbs and smaller towns/cities in North America, with smug and selfish attitudes and values. They do the "non-pose pose" so well it almost seems like their primary cares are not exactly the things they think they are rebelling against, it's all an empty shell of looking shabbily fashionable and pissing away your life pursuing the cult of individualism (proof you ate up everything they were selling with a spoon). In the end it's an empty shell and dog chasing its tail. In the end your classmates that had babies and supported their sick parents and contributed to their communities accomplished more and gained more wisdom than you ever will-but you won't realize that until its too late. I've never met so many vapid perpetual children in one place. They come here to escape and relive their college years over and over again until they're too sad, ugly, bitter, old, or pathetic to keep up the charade, or they eventually return home to the cushion of an expensive education and an ample support system provided by mom and dad. It just drives me crazy some days. And anyway, your "art" or whatever is always going to be irrelevant if your idea of adventure is living europe and you hide away in your little hipster havens and refuse to be a real human being.
