ich als Norddeutscher kann mit einigen der hier aufgeführten Sachen durchaus Leben:
21) Germans simply do not understand thongs/flip flops/jandals as viable footwear. Even when it’s warm and sunny. And a boot is impractical, or too warm for the feet to be comfortable. They will stare, bewildered, at thonged feet and quietly wonder if the wearer is mad.
22) They love a large, mind-bogglingly well stocked hardware store (with a bratwurst stand out the front). Perhaps because they quietly live by the mantra, if you want something done well, do it yourself … and we all know Germans do things well. Therefore they must be permanently well equipped to do things themselves.
23) Germans lose their shit when the sun comes out and act in a manner I can only describe as suspicious. They flock to outdoor cafes and tip their faces to the sun … but remain in boots and jeans with a pashmina close by. Even when it’s 25 degrees. Even when it’s obvious the weather isn’t going to turn. Because …
24) Germans are always prepared for the rain.
Auch wenn der gute Mensch es wahrscheinlich bisher nur ausschließlich mit Berlinern zu tun hatte, die wie wir alle wissen Bekanntlich ein an der Klatsche haben. ;) Ist der Blog üBerlin von dem werten Herren allemal ein Blick wert. ^^
