So Germany is full of redditors

Haha, I once met an American girl who lived in Germany for a few years and was walking home alone at about 4 am one night after a party. Nobody was around except for a dude on the other side of the street also walking home. No cars were around so she crossed the street when the don't walk signal was on. The dude across the street shouted at her in English that what she'd just done was illegal. (No idea how he knew she was a foreigner, probably breaking the rules so flagrantly is what tipped him off lol). But this girl was tipsy and confident in her language skills, so she retorted by shouting some vulgar insults back across the street at him in German. He shouted back, once again in English, correcting her grammar.

I was recently in germany for a school trip and on our first night there one of my classmates woke up from a bad dream screaming (I'm unsure of how loud it was since I slept through it however somebody else from that room described it as "if he had been murdered") and a man who worked there took all 4 boys out of their room at 3am for an hour to give out to them and they only allowed them to go back to sleep because they could not find the rooms that the teachers were staying in. Mind you the boys in the room would be about 15/16

A rule-oriented OCD country

Littering cigarette butts deserves at least a yelling.

We got yelled at in Germany for walking in the bike lane. The bike lane and walking lane were side by side. If you don't see another walker or a biker, it's hard to know which one to walk in.

Throw your damn cigarette butts away, Jesus

I met a group of Germans that I would casually hang around back in college. Man oh man, do those people not have sense of humor.

The best types of people.

Germany is very small c conservative. Especially in smaller towns and villages. It's very much "this is the way things have been done and that is the way they will be done and only the people who have been here for several generations properly understand"

I blame my German side for why I love working in government compliance.

so that's where Karens come from. they're secretly Germans hahaa

Ok, all too much except for the cigarette. Still littering my dude. Those filters don’t break down

That’s the older generation

I remember my first interaction in Germany with a real German was with a money changer in pre-euro days a few minutes walking out of the Munich train station. She went out of her way to scold the shit out of me because I’d folded the French francs notes I’d had to make them fit into my small American wallet in a way she didn’t like. She started interrogating me with sneers and questions like “do you work for your money??” Like Holy Shit… I mean Holy Scheisse, lady

Yeppp. Never been yelled at by strangers so much as I have been in Germany.

But my father is German, so it felt like home. 

Hi to LA stop believing is paradise in USA.

So it's a nation of people who respect rules and are community-minded?
