A friend of mine moved from California to Germany/Bavaria, where I’m native.
She told me the most irritating habit of germans for her was that germans take everything literally.
When she got to know someone new she often used to say “It was nice to meet you! Let’s have dinner sometime!”, merely as a phrase to be friendly, then was baffled how many people took it worldly and responded asking for her phone number or directly suggesting an exact date for having dinner together. The positive part of that misunderstanding was that she in fact gained friends very quickly, cause she ended up throwing a dinner party for a lot of people 😂

For me as an German, if i had to wait 20 minutes, i would be already gone. Waiting is for me really a bad thing, i have a lot to do some days and waiting makes all even more stressful, because the time i have waited could have been used more for
productivity.
Also, if you have an Interview for a Job or apprentenceship, never come late, even the smallest minute could cause a negative opinion on you.

The weirdest shock for me as a Swede, was when I stepped into an elevator, and everyone said “hello” to me, and when I stepped out, they all said “goodbye”! I had no idea of this elevator etiquette and at first it was so bizarre to me. Eventually I came to actually enjoy little conversations in the elevator.

Ich habe Deutschland kennen gelernt in den frühen Siebzigerjahre als Britische Soldat. Nach einen kurz Rückkehr nach den UK, bin ich wieder nach Bavaria. Deutschland ist ein wunderschöne Land zum wohnen. Den meisten Deutschen sind sehr freundlich besonders wenn Mann versucht Deutsch zu sprechen. Ich liebe Deutschland und den Deutschen. 🇬🇧🇩🇪 Aber ich bin immer hin ein Engländer.🏴

The explanation that for Germans, pedestrians entering the bicycle lane is similar to them coming into the car lane made a lot of sense, and I have become more careful not to accidentally step into the bicycle lane. I find the deposit system for plastic bottles to be fantastic! I think getting cash back and increasing environmental awareness is a win-win situation. I hope my country also adopts it. Vielen Dank!

These posts are fascinating. I love watching them even if it’s hard for me to pronounce many of the words I’m learning. I wish others would do videos like this — explain, in an objective and non-judgmental way, the ins and outs of their cultures. I enjoy travel and dislike the idea of giving offense especially inadvertently. Thanks!
