We say "ground floor" here, then 1st, 2nd and 3rd so on-

The way he said "goodbye" sounds like a npc character

[Chummyjones]

Luckily he opened the door and spoke english right away as every good german would do

[KaiJSY]

As a British person, we call the entrance floor the 'ground floor'

[vaska]

That German guy was VERY friendly and helpful.

[sunflowerseeds]

When the landlord said he was on the third floor, I knew what was about to go down 😂

[martinbougie]

“No, that is in fact the 0th floor”. The way he said that is so German, I love it

Even when accused of breaking and entering you still get a helpful tip.

I swear I’ve met some Germans and I’d go as far as to call them the Canadians of Europe they’re all so kind.

[sailorsemih]

Actually it goes like "ground floor, first floor, second floor" bc literally you say 'Floor'

[duartsy]

“We are finding ourselves in the 2nd floor”

[jonapleseid]

I love that Zach now counts on his fingers like a German

[DerKaktusAvant]

As a Brit who is looking to move to Germany to study, I can confirm that this isn’t an issue I am going to encounter

[wolfiegames]

As a programmer, I approve of this way of counting.

[RedGallardo]

Why not name floors randomly? It's boring when people know what floor is where. Let's go 17, 1001, 5, 8, 1, 99, 2. Makes as much sense.

[samarik.]

Of course it's called the 0th floor. If underground is -1 and then it goes -1, 0, 1 not -1, 1, 2

[kurushimee]

As a Russian, we indeed do not have the 0th floor and the entrance is on the 1st floor

[The-Rest-of-Us]

Settlers of Catan on the shelf in the background makes it perfect

It gets weirder in Norway in some cases. I lived in an apartment complex building that had floors, then half-floors. You walked up one set of stairs to get to the entrance, where there would be three smaller apartments, then you walk up another set of stairs to get to the first floor. Then you went up one set of stairs to get to the next half-floor with another three smaller apartments, before walking up a second set of stairs to get to the second floor, rinse and repeat until you reached the 4th floor.

[WCGwkf]

You can call it ground floor all you want, but the next one is still the 2nd floor

[elizabethgeorge]

"0th floor." Gonna use that from now on 😆
