I am from Germany. We open the windows every day to prevent mold growing in our homes. For some reason we have a huge mold problem here.

Don't forget to make Augenkontakt when you clink your beer or wine glasses during a Prost 😅

When driving as a tourist, stay out of the left lane. That's "their" lane.

Ha. The staring culture is the polar opposite of my home, New York City, where you do not so much as glance at anyone, even if they’re naked and bouncing on a flaming pogo stick right next to you. 😂

houseshoes? I am German and no, not all of us do this to our guests. lol

The "Daumen drücken" can be pretty much translated with "fingers crossed"

I'm in Munich right now. I'm amazed and awed by how readily the Germans take advantage of all opportunities to enjoy nature in the hot weather. They are lying on the rocks along the banks of the Isar to sun themselves. Flopped out all over in the English Garden. Sunday in the park is really a thing here, and it's great! Oh, and the unleashed dogs are pretty well-behaved.

I wonder how many Americans went home and said, German people are so friendly, everywhere I went people said hellooo to me.

I went there last April, one thing I noticed is everytime I asked them "Do you speak English?" in German, they always replied "Ein Bischen" (a Little bit)....but yet their English was way more better than my German. I always wondered why they are too modest on their ability to speak English when it's pretty good considering it's not their first language. I did try to learn German so that if somebody doesn't speak English, at least I could get by, but my German is nowhere close to their overall ability to speak English. I just know the basics and it's also the right thing to do when you travel into another country.

Dane here :) I honestly thought everybody did the airing out thing. I have always been told that ideally you should air out your place twice a day. It's to get rid of humidity that can cause black mold, and also the fresh dry air actually is easier to heat up in the winter than the heavy damp air that can form if you don't air out. Most of us don't have airconditioning or ceiling fans for air circulation, so we circulate the air by creating a draft. It's all about the health of our indoor climate, and keeping the place mould free and the heating bill low.

As a German I consider it very disrespectful if you show up late

[cbrmlpu]

"Hallooo" is such a "German Karen" thing to say 😂

[bonwatcher]

Germans and Japanese share the same ideas when it comes to taking off the shoes in the house, properly putting recyclables in the right bins and the big one, being punctual. I know in Japan you are late if you are five minutes early. 😂

Stationed there for three years. On the autobahn, if you’re driving too slow in the fast lane, they’ll flash their high beams instead of hitting the horn.

As a german who hates The German Stare I just stare back until they stop 😂

[marthagraham]

I was born and grew up in Germany. I never noticed the staring and guests were not expected to take their shoes off. Makes us look like a bunch of weirdos. The clapping in the plane is cringe and only done by weirdos as well.

[frauleintrude]

If you love your life, never take a walk on a cycle path. They will run you over with their bicycle while ringing the bell or swearing at you, no matter what. Make sure to look left and right before crossing a cycle path.

[retprob]

Bavarian here.I kept waiting for you to point out something weird.

[JBG]

The clapping when the plane lands was common here in the US back in the 80’s and earlier . Not sure when it stopped

[debbiebaitinger]

Do not ever cross the street if the light is not the right color, even at 5am with no one on the street!
