Seems Germany would be heaven to this userbase.
Pose a question, expect a no-nonsense, factual answer. Don't be offended but appreciate the candor and brevity. Get back to being productive so you can leave for a timely Feierabend like everyone else.
To be fair, this would probably still be considered very unusual in Germany. You're not obligated to do a while song and dance, but uf you do this I would assume it's a very deadpan joke.
I was watching a YouTube video for Americans on what not to do when visiting Germany. I was thinking that I would love to live in Germany throughout the video for the reasons you stated.
"Halo, Servus!" -Feli
American here and I am in constant jealousy of Germany.
have you visited? you might find your jealousy is just from ignorance and imagination of what germany might be like rather than what it is like.
Nope, you are right
This response strikes me as such an autistic way to admit the effectiveness of an argument to the contrary. It's kind of beautiful.
Yay I'm purdy :3
have you seen america? most of the world is at least somewhat better
I don't know German so I am going to assume that a Feierabend is going on a bender with Guy Fieri
I think it's the Anglicism of manners. For some reason in English we demand one lie to protect everyone's feelings.
have you ever...interacted with a german? they are not, in fact, robots.
They have earned their reputation, good and bad.
Exceptions show nuance, but they don't undermine this reputation to the point of irrelevance.
