>- I cannot be sarcastic in Germany

I think this is because the people you know there.
My German friends were funny as fuck. I don't know where or how this Germans have no humor thing started, it was not true in my experience. Maybe Bavaria is a lot different.

>>53176784

You can get coconut milk at Rewe and Edeka mate.
For Coriander you can go to the local fresh market, or some turkish store, they usually have it.

>>53176784
Doctors are cunts.
Most of the time, they don't even know what they are talking about and look down on you as they prescribe you promoted medicine to earn more money than they are entitled to.

I am also sarcastic, this scares and weirds out people.
Sarcasm is my humour and way of coping with life.
Coconut milk is available in netto, edeka, real rewe and other supermarkets that sports lots of products.

>>53177166
>I don't know where or how this Germans have no humor thing started
Because people still hype ~80s (German) Comedy shows.

For example they broadcast "Dinner for One" every new years eve and people watch it every year thinking brits are capable of anything more than slapstick.

>I'm from Holland

>>53176784
> Not being able to use my card to pay everywhere, or only being able to pay by card from 10 Euros upward or some arbitrary limit like that.

The reson for that is, that the bank demands a fee for putting money from your account on the store´s account. Because of this, the margin is lower. So, to be profitable, the store has to a) allow you to pay everything with credit card, like in the US, where the fee is already in the price, making everything a little bit more expensive or b) Only allow cards from 10€ +, so he doesn´t loose money by selling just a pack of milk.

But yeah, discounters are a real pest. Worked for one for a few years, wasn´t even allowed to give to much customer advice, because that´s waste of time I could use for real work. (Not that any customer would have noted that this service falls flat if they buy cheap stuff at ALDI and LIDL instead of going to a "real" shop.)

>>53176784
>And the store clerks explaining every single time how to use the pin machine, I'm not an idiot, I know I have to type my pin number and press the green button, I'm not an idiot, thank you
that's because they sometimes want your signature to compare it to the one on your card.
so you have to wait until they tell you what to do each time

when i was in germany the main thing that annoyed me was my housemates insisting on saving all the fucking cans and bottles. i don't give a shit if you get a few cents for them or want to recycle or whatever just throw that shit away. i'll go dump them all in a river just to piss you off

>>53178553

but most of them were my empty beer cans. finding other people digging through a bin just to fish out cans is just strange to me. one impression i got of germany is people refuse to spend money/act like they don't have any money. even fairly wealthy people shop at fucking aldi. and aldi is shit.

well discounters are for getting cheap stuff, not to get advice

>>53178791
dude 25 cents per bottle. You can easily collect enough for a free meal

Germans are legitimately autistic. It's not even a meme, just downright unpleasant people to be around. I like our Flemish brothers down south way more.

>>53178873
this tbqh. i had some german woman lecture me for 20 minutes on the dangers of smoking, as if i'd never heard it before in my life. and have you ever seen them wait at a pedestrian crossing on a deserted road with no cars around? bizarre

Only the ones not from Holland. You get bonus point if you call Limburgers or Frisians 'Hollander'.

Stores artificially keep this in place by discouraging electronic payments though.. PIN is encouraged heavily in the Netherlands, even for small transactions ('Klein bedrag? Pinnen mag!" or "Pinnen, Ja Graag!") and because of that cash transactions are now more expensive than electronic ones.. Getting loose change and depositing cash is now more expensive (and more effort) than using PIN. And thats not even getting into the advantages for places that get robbed relatively often, like gas stations and evening shops. No cash=No loot.

>>53176784
All pretty accurate, though big movies generally have limited showings in the original language as well.

That's false. Especially concerning rent. the entire Rhein-Main area has almost twice as high rent prices and Munich is probably even worse

Let me add some

- Beggars coming into restaurants interupting your dinner by shoving an open palm in your face
- Getting a 3000 euro fine for downloading 2 episodes of Mr. Robot
- Have to go to the other side of the city because your bank does not havy any ATMs in your part and you'd pay a few euro's extra for taking money from those
- No non-german beers allowed in supermarkets
- People lecture you on separating trash even though they know it all gets thrown on the same heap at the refuse dump

>>53176784
I had the same problems t.bh, I thought it was just me being an uncivilized monkey but it's just Germany being backwards

I don't like the shopping carts that need coins to be used, as I usually don't carry coins, just bills

I don't like that there's barely any seats in public spaces, even indoors

>>53179533
Doesn't matter. As long as he does not call me a Hollander. That would start an other civil war.

>>53179404

you can get 40m2 for a good 300€ +-50€ (no idea about the quality and location, though...). Thats without heating, electricity and other costs, though.

>>53179780
it does here, first they started in the fast food centers, now they go to any restaurant by now ;__________;

>>53179404
Wtf. Berlin might be more expensive than the countryside, ok, but it is cheaper than any other of the "Big 7" (Hamburg, Munich, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Cologne, Stuttgart). Not only the rent, but also other costs (food, beer, public transport) is quite cheap compared to other German or Western European cities.

I live in Hamburg this never happened to me and I have been to loads of restaurants due my job. You only might rarely get beggars when you sit outside of a restaurant. But thats very rare. Mostly its romanians wanting to sell roses.

>>53176784

this is very true, doctors here have the reputation of being arrogant sons of bitches, which is often true

it's not just for superiors, I'd feel disrespected if some stranger who is obviously younger or older than me doesn't adress me with Sie, when people around my age it'd be awkward though
>All movies are dubbed
in some bigger cities there are cinemas which show movies in the original version, but yeah

>I cannot be sarcastic in Germany, as people just do not understand it.
your example sounds weird to me aswell tbqh senpai, sarcasm here is more used in an insulting or derogatory way or for dark humor or tp oint out unfortunate events, like your already soaking wet from the rain and your like "thank god I had this useful jacket or I would have been fucked"

for your daily needs just get 500€ from your ATM and spend it until it's gone -> repeat.

I would have bought so much more shit with credit cards but in the end I'd regret it. you always think twice while paying cash, that's a good thing.

Germany does have a huge problem with ATMs even though its one of the most advance nations...

Yeah, Germans are pretty much like Americans on that point. I had a Jewish American exchange student in university last year, and she also studied in Germany. Every time we made sarcastic or cynical jokes or remarks she either felt insulted or somehow had to correct us on why this isn't either true or possible. One time she even started fucking crying after a friend made a joke about Jews, and she's herself also Jewish.

Needless to say she left Belgium for Germany after three months
