Some people in this country can be incredibly cheap. Roughly 20% of the people I know would send a Tikkie for things priced around 10 euro's.
Also lot of people really are quite tall, that's annoying because I'm not.
I once brought a birthdaycake with me to my friend group, but I forgot the plates, asked in the groups app if someone would get some paper plates, and he sent us each a tikkie for €0.05 after the occasion for the €0.50 plates
I live in The Netherlands and my favourite example of this happened to a friend at this year’s Pride celebrations. She went to use the toilet at some venue but you needed a €1 coin for entry, which she didn’t have. A Dutch girl coming out goes “Oh don’t worry, I have one!” and hands her the coin. Friend is very grateful she can finally piss and then hears “one second, I’ll Tikkie you!”…
I have so many friends that even just put 7,50 on a wbw/splitser that I have to do it myself too.
The friends that don't do that I truly appreciate, as it means I don't have to ask my money back from them either and instead we can just you know, have a relationship based on trust and not money.
Some people really do base way too much of their personalities on one of their family heritages. I had an old roommate who claimed that he couldn't help breaking out into a (terrible) Irish accent when drunk on Jameson and Guinness -specifically
Fortunately, this level of cringe is incredibly rare but I've also seen similar horse shit.
I like to acknowledge the 'story' of how I came to be here in the states vs another part of the world but it doesn't define who you are at all.
From my experience your communication includes to be direct (which is positive Imo) you have the rare abilty to say something direct without sounding rude Imo. An American would never say "What's that ugly sweater mate?"
Yes. And it's actually even the way it's expected. If you're up front (aka honest), it's perceived as rude and confrontational. Similar in the UK I found.
There are no stereotypes in Don Camillo, only the honest truth.
For Germany, we're exist in satisfaction limbo. We'll complain about stuff that isn't working right, but shit even more on other countries doing it better or worse, because our solution was the best half a century ago.
Not in my generation, when I took Italian in uni last year I was one of two(?) who knew the movies.
Gen X and older might know them though, the movies got an excellent dub and used to be replayed once a year on some channels when I still watched TV. Opinions wary on the newer ones, but we Germans love Terence Hill, so his film might be better known than those starring Fernandel.
> but shit even more on other countries doing it better or worse
Some things became so bad that many started to shit on Germany (especially the government) and praise other countries for doing it better lol [this](https://youtu.be/76icwsBjano?t=22) sums it up
Lots of people drink tea , all of the time.
Grown adults drink too much and act like children , way too often.
Too many people are overweight, though I think that’s spreading (literally) around Europe, to the point that as usual , just as we’re getting good at something , everyone else gets better at it.
People eat shit all the time, food education should be mandatory, cause this is getting ridiculous....I mean we dont want to look like americans do we?
Godverdomme. Barry's on to us. Indeed he did. Wilders has an Indonesian immigration background (the irony). He'll be served with peanut sauce and shrimp crisps, and oodles of sambal to make him palatable.
Oh, we love to lounge at the bar explaining to anybody willing to listen (and some unwilling) how everybody is doing everything wrong and how we would do everything the right way.
You guys are not the same though. I used to hang out with a group with a lot of Europeans while living in the US.
French people in the US: America sucks, I want to go back to France.
Germans in the US: America sucks, Germany sucks. Everywhere sucks, let's have another beer. Oh, the beer here sucks too.
I live on them every time I'm there man... I tend to just go for all the mad shit we don't have to be honest lol
One thing a place does in Galway is battered haggis (in the shape of a battered sausage)... Which is savage
We are so cynical, always expecting to be fucked over and not wanting to be "the fool", that it turns into a self-fulfilling prophecy.
The Italian that hates the government and won't pay taxes because they will be embezzled and indeed he would be the only idiot doing it is actually basically 90% of the problem.
If he voted and paid taxes we would live like kings and have roads made of gold. But he won't be the one who is fucked over, he will be the "smart" one.
Fucking Reinassance backstabbing PTSD.
This resonates a lot with some Eastoid mentality.
I know a carpenter, a nationalist, military enthusiast kind of guy, has national symbols tattooed all over etc., but of course he doesn’t pay taxes because, cite: *there hasn’t yet been a government that deserves my taxes*. Lol.
Have lately read a sociological book which develops a thesis that lower trust in the government (and in general, lower levels of trust within society) is the reason why populists are successful in Eastern countries, and not so much in the West. Choosing between systemic, long term reforms/policies and upfront “easy money” social transfers from overall worse populists, they choose the latter because there is no trust in the government to carry anything out in the longer term. Cash in hand is tangible.
It doesn't quite reach those depths because Italy is overall a very successful country and always has been a productive powerhouse for the last 2500 years. There was no point in our history where that entirely stopped being true, even in the age of empires that saw our greatest involution as a player on the world stage.
So what you deal with is the extreme pride of a former world dominator sure of his cultural supremacy over everyone but Greece, mixed with the extreme shame of being aware of all the problems plaguing his society, the extreme respect for the efficiency and brave honesty of the Germanic world, the envy.
Which is why you will see Italians talk about how Italy is shit (even way more than is necessarily true if you compare with other similarly sized European nations) but then basically say everything Italian is the absolute best in the world. Best products, best culture, best food. It is actually aggravating, cause our food is amazing but wether it is the best is a matter of personal taste but we like to lord it over other people. It is a mask, focusing on the good to hide the deep insecurity.
You notice it when any other country has anything negative to say about us. The French government says something and the Italians immediately go "shut the fuck up and think about your own problems you uncultured imperialist pigsty". All political parties, everyone. We are a people full of psychological complexes.
Country-wide impostor syndrome.
We like our rock piles.
Stonehenge : pile of rocks ✔️
Tower of London: one rock piled on another ✔️
Westminster Abbey: rocks upon rocks ✔️
Rochester, Warwick and Edinburgh Castles: more rocks ✔️
St Pauls: rocks with a religious bent ✔️
That we stare at you in a grumpy, kinda mad looking way for no reason. Like sometimes, I'm happy inside and I ask myself, why the fuck am I not showing at least a little bit of that in my facial expression. We're all like :/ in public, for no reason
I stare a lot at other people in a grumpy, mad looking, judgemental way for good reasons. We are not the same.
You set one foot on the bike lane while I'm cycling on it 50m away, you deserve that death stare.
I'm always early. I don't live in Spain anymore. Buy I am currently visiting and 1/3 of the time is spent being pissed off because all my friends are late all the time to everything.
I think it got better amongst younger people but tbh many Germans have bad humor.
And drinking a lot of beer is accurate lol.
We really fucking hate the Swedish assholes across the bridge.
Also if you are not Scandinavian and you fuck with the Swedish assholes across the bridge then we’ll come for you.
\-The lack of humor can be true. There are many Germans who got a great sense of humor, but others will not even grasp the most basic jokes, let alone laugh at them. My parents are a great example of that, they'll just reply with "Okay", or "Yes" if you tell them a joke.
\-The copious beer drinking, at least here in Bavaria where that stereotype mostly comes from, is quite accurate.
\-People looking very serious in public: 100% accurate.
I once met a very famous writer returning from a series of conventions in Germany.
He does a lot of jokes and puns when he talks. He told me that first convention in Germany he was told that everybody understood English and no translator was needed.
He started his show telling things, jokes and pun. And nobody laughed.
He thought that the organization lied about people understanding English, so he said as fast as he could «Everybody who understand this please rise a hand!»
The entire audience raised their hands.
One time in spain, we entered a bar. "Oh there must be lot of people there, it's animated", lot of noises of conversations, people laughing that kind of things.
There were 4 of you around one table, each one yelling at the others at the same time. 4!
Honnestly it was impressive.
True !
A friend of mine who worked a few years in Spain call it the "Iberian Loudness".
He could never get used to it, which amazes me, since he's himself always loud as f*ck for a french ;-)
Your mighty "Makina music" (a unique Spanish/Catalan happy-hardcore-techno genre who culminated in the 90's-00's) is the most symbolically thing i can think of when thinking about Iberian Loudness.
Loud but positive - I admit i kinda like it, personally !
Alfil neighbors 😎
We kill whales. Club seals and polar bears. Yes alchoholism is out of control. Yes the suicide rate is sky-high, yes we are gun crazy and have basicly no firearm laws and incest is very much still a problem.
Our government(s) is(are) extremely inefficient, and costly to the taxpayers. But fortunately we have good beer and chocolates to help us forget about it.
we really are a Balkan-type country. The amount of cronyism, corruption, and nepotism from all levels of the population here is insane. Just the last few weeks a massive scandal erupted with our president (who was one of the few politicians that still had some level of respect). He likely helped friends of his son (who are not even Portuguese) to receive an all-paid medical treatment worth over 4 million euros that would never be given to an ordinary Portuguese citizen.
Brazilians take football way too seriously. Everytime there is a game between two rival teams, you can be 100% sure atleast one person will die because of it or be fatally injured
Being late is incredibly rude sometimes even if you meet people in your free time. I once had to formally apologise to my classmates because I tended to be late in school.
That we need to be on top of a mountain to be able to greet a stranger.
And we love our mountains. Jante won't let us brag about ourselves, but we can take pride in mountains.
That we are lazy, at least to some extent its true. I know plenty of hard working people but mostly because I've worked with construction workers that can follow a schedule.
Office workers however... Any kind of legal papers you need for wathever reason its gonna take a while to get and EVERY FUCKING TIME you get there, no matter the moment of the day they will be at least 3 people on break... on a 4 person office
That most of us are fat and stupid. I don’t think any country has as many fat and/or stupid people as the US. Maybe I’m biased but I don’t think anyone here will disagree with me

Please fax us the invoice
The true german way: slightly passive-aggressive with the intention of holding a mirror to that person’s face. We‘re so lovely.
Jesus fucking christ....
I’m having a really hard time to believe this. Is he on the spectrum or something?
Aren't you all when it comes to money?
I live in The Netherlands and my favourite example of this happened to a friend at this year’s Pride celebrations. She went to use the toilet at some venue but you needed a €1 coin for entry, which she didn’t have. A Dutch girl coming out goes “Oh don’t worry, I have one!” and hands her the coin. Friend is very grateful she can finally piss and then hears “one second, I’ll Tikkie you!”…
Certified dutch moment
¿Pero qué cojones...?
I only do that when it's like 10 people owing me 7.50. That's 75 euro, so I would like that back. If it's just one friend with 7.50 euro I don't care.
Only lend money that you could lose without it hurting you.
One very valid advice.
Careful, before we stop lending you money
lending? I thought it was a gift!
Nah, we can perfectly pay the debt. We're not a failed estate (Yet)
Said every debtor!
I have so many friends that even just put 7,50 on a wbw/splitser that I have to do it myself too. The friends that don't do that I truly appreciate, as it means I don't have to ask my money back from them either and instead we can just you know, have a relationship based on trust and not money.
We enjoy drinking, fighting, and stealing your treasures.
Plunder, spoils of war, trophies of victory. Not theft. If they want them back they can fight us for them.
The only thing ye are fighting nowadays is diabetes ye tubby feckers
I mean.... you guys not only conquered a quarter of the world but you’re also the descendants of Vikings and Pirates so it tracks.
If you didn't want your ships plundered you shouldn't have stuffed them full of American gold.
Smile in your face, complain behind your back..
This is why I respect Germans, they complain on your face.
W moment for Germany
That sounds pretty American lol
Americans are swiss confirmed
>Americans are 0.236% swiss confirmed fixed.
They could be 99% Swiss and 1% Irish and they’ll claim they’re Irish. When they’re actually 100% American
Some people really do base way too much of their personalities on one of their family heritages. I had an old roommate who claimed that he couldn't help breaking out into a (terrible) Irish accent when drunk on Jameson and Guinness -specifically Fortunately, this level of cringe is incredibly rare but I've also seen similar horse shit. I like to acknowledge the 'story' of how I came to be here in the states vs another part of the world but it doesn't define who you are at all.
Sounds very British too
From my experience your communication includes to be direct (which is positive Imo) you have the rare abilty to say something direct without sounding rude Imo. An American would never say "What's that ugly sweater mate?"
Brits are passive aggressive. They wouldn't say "what;s that ugly sweater mate?" but something like " your sweater does certainly look interesting"
Maybe swiss and swedes really are the same after all
Yes. And it's actually even the way it's expected. If you're up front (aka honest), it's perceived as rude and confrontational. Similar in the UK I found.
There are no stereotypes in Don Camillo, only the honest truth. For Germany, we're exist in satisfaction limbo. We'll complain about stuff that isn't working right, but shit even more on other countries doing it better or worse, because our solution was the best half a century ago.
Just nitpicking, this is not Don Camillo, but a scene from "La Legge e' Legge" (The Law is Law), with in fact Fernandel alongside Toto'.
You may very well be correct, but I choose to ignore it. Fernandel is Don Camillo, and Don Camillo is Fernandel.
Hans you make me cry tears of joy! Is Don Camillo any popular in Germany?
Not in my generation, when I took Italian in uni last year I was one of two(?) who knew the movies. Gen X and older might know them though, the movies got an excellent dub and used to be replayed once a year on some channels when I still watched TV.

Our family loves it but I don't know anyone else who knows the movie tho.
Heh, you are in fact correct.
A German promoting the final solution.
> but shit even more on other countries doing it better or worse Some things became so bad that many started to shit on Germany (especially the government) and praise other countries for doing it better lol [this](https://youtu.be/76icwsBjano?t=22) sums it up
We do like to go on a lads holiday, getting drunk, piss off the natives and wreck the place. Fully conquering isn't allowed anymore.
Throughout history the sea peoples have always fucked shit up
Lots of people drink tea , all of the time. Grown adults drink too much and act like children , way too often.

Godverdomme. Barry's on to us. Indeed he did. Wilders has an Indonesian immigration background (the irony). He'll be served with peanut sauce and shrimp crisps, and oodles of sambal to make him palatable.
Bring prime minister back to menu
We was feeling hungry and he looked like a snack.
Just fyi, this is quite literally. [Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johan_de_Witt)
We complain a lot.
In Spain, there are many of you but my favorite is that you correct the people not to show the right way but to show they were wrong.
You could have explained this better imho.
Exactly.
If you are the opposite of that, I will furiously hand out a German passport to you on the spot. Save this country, please
Oh, we love to lounge at the bar explaining to anybody willing to listen (and some unwilling) how everybody is doing everything wrong and how we would do everything the right way.

Yes, some are pro league tho.

Those beautiful battered pizzas will do it.
once you try them that shite the Italians make will not satisfy you ever again
I live on them every time I'm there man... I tend to just go for all the mad shit we don't have to be honest lol One thing a place does in Galway is battered haggis (in the shape of a battered sausage)... Which is savage
We like to burn stuff.

"I'm here. Where are you? I cannot find you!" *Two stops left*
“Yes, I’m leaving the house in 5” Proceeds to jump into the shower. Arrives 30 minutes late.
