5:30 in Germany: YOU have birthday and YOU bring the cake - THAT IS MAINLY FOR WORK COLLEGES. If everyone does it, it also fair for all. If every bodyelse would bring YOU a cake, then you eat cake for weeks (or they have to organize it)… Seems easier, if the person that definitely KNOWS when it has birthday, to bring cake 🎂 - OR NOT … if you don’t like your work colleagues.

PRIVATE birthday: you invite the friends, you make coffee and cake and friends brings presents

The thing with the (indeed quite excessive…) instructions about „how to properly air your apartment“ actually has something to do with (air) moisture, room temperatures and as a result, the risk of mould - due to various kinds of energy-saving building (thermo) insulation, if I recall correctly. „Mahlzeit“ is very much a part of German OFFICE culture, because it is used around lunchtime, in effect in order to announce that you you are currently on your lunch break and/or on the way to grab some cafeteria food etc With regard to HOSTING something to your birthday (at work), well, a couple of weeks ago, it was my birthday, and I had bought some 20+ Euros worth of „light snacks“-food that I deemed appropriate for a small birthday „reception“. While my colleagues really enjoyed the free (non-alcoholic) drinks (that were another 20+ Euros), NONE OF THE SNACKS WERE TOUCHED… Admittedly, it was a Friday and most of them went into their weekend even before me, but I was REALLY annoyed nonetheless… at least I didn’t buy anything that would have gone bad the same day, but still…

'Not bad' is really a compliment. I think 'It's edible' often is a compliment as well, but it can also mean that the food is not that good depending on the context and tone.

Not only in Germany. Many of these things are the same in the Netherlands. Only "Mahlzeit" is not a thing in the Netherlands as we do have a different language ;o).

There is kind of a mayo equator in Germany. In the south we tend to make our salads like potato salad or noodle salad with oil and vinegar. Still i have to say these mayo salads really doesn't look to apealing but they are good 😊

Nice to know that I as a German know now why we say “Mahlzeit”

Bringing a cake is just the smaller version of throwing a birthday party. And the party is organized by the birthday child everywhere, or am I wrong? But usually colleagues will bring little gifts, again just a smaller version than if they were invited to a birthday party.

Even as a German, I don't like this office-birthday-tradition, where I have to give cake/food to colleques, if I'm the one who have birthday. It's just the wrong way around.
