AW: You know you are german if....

Also insgesamt bin ich ja beruhigt, dass die Amis (?) scheinbar mindestens genauso viele Vorurteile uns gegenüber haben, ich ich in Bezug auf sie :tongue:

...you stop at the red man without a car in sight .

Absolut immer:lol: So kann man im Berliner Zentrum auch die deutschen von den internationalen Touris unterscheiden...


Nieeemals. Vielleicht machen das hier einige, weil wir nicht so scheußliche Kirsch"biere" produziere wie z.B. die Belgier, unser Bier aber nicht nur nach Wasser schmeckt, wie bei den Engländern, Amis oder Kanadiern...

...you separate your trash into more than five different bins..

Naja fünf sind es wohl nicht ganz. Hatte letztens eine französische Freundin zu Besuch, die mich fragte in welchen Müll sie was werfen müsste. Ich erklärte kurz und sagte dann im Zweifel sei es aber auch nicht schlimm wenn sie alles in den Normalmüll wirft. Sie war entsetzt und meinte "Nein! Das ist es was wir in der Schule über die Deutschen lernen. Jetzt wo ich hier bin, will ich das auch mal kennenlernen!"
Man, das war eine kulturelle Erlebnisreise für sie...


...people start talking about Hitler and Hofbräuhaus when you tell them where you're from...

Ja. Immer, überall...

...you have ended an English sentence with "...and so" and “..., or?”...

Lol :redface:

...your first sexual experience was on Sat1, Saturday night at 11pm.

Das war Nachts um halb 1....

......you complain that in other countries everything is dirty.

Ne, ich komme aus Berlin...Aber egal wo ich ins Ausland reise, die Leute erzählen mir immer wie sauber es bei uns sei...

...you argue for keeping the shops closed on Sundays so that those poor cashiers and shop workers can keep the sacred "family day"..

Niiiieee!
Ich argumentiere stattdessen, dass in Belgiens Hauptstadt die Geschäfte mal länger als bis 17h30 geöffnet haben sollten....

...you think smoking is an expression of freedom.

Ohne Worte...

...you burst into tears of happiness when you find that the Lidl markets in the UK sell Fleischsalat, not forgetting Salami, German yoghurts, German bread mix and so on!

jaaa, immer wieder ein rührender Moment!


Insgesamt bin ich wohl ziemlich typisch deutsch...

Richtig! Wenn man Papier und Glas noch extra sortiert - dazu Biomüll, GelbeTonne und der Restmüll = 5 ......dann noch die Plastikflaschen vom Dualen System :lol:

Dafür war ich 1995 schockiert, als ich in Canada war und die dort wirklich ALLES in einen Sack schmeißen.:icon_eyecrazy:

Currywurst war ein schlechtes Beispiel (da ist Curry drauf).....besser wäre der LEBERKÄSE gewesen.......:lol:
