sit in your car
get mad there are so many other people in cars around you
go shopping before a long weekend
complain about how many people go shopping before the long weekend
be tourist
make fun of tourists
Wat. This does not resemble my experience over there at all. Though I’m sure the long weekend thing is pretty universal.
I was bitching on the train about Br*ts due to brexit and the older German dude I was talking wouldn’t have a bar of it, calmly replied “they have to make they’re own choices and go their own way and that’s ok” or something to that effect. Auto Bahn was fine and everyone was super friendly when I proclaimed to be a tourist by stating in German “sorry I speak little German, do you speak English”? More often than not they complimented my pronunciation and replied in English.
Hell in the smaller towns, shops didn’t even open on weekend before 10am. Shit was awesome. Would go back in a heartbeat. Though I will concede had I answered differently when they asked where I’m from, it may have been a slightly different experience.
No no, you got it all wrong. It’s not about making fun of tourists visiting Germany, it’s about making fun of other German tourists while being yourself one of those tourists abroad.
Yeah… definitively not a German thing 😃

Lets make another meme about that and don’t forget Luften
To be fair, I do know the name of my local butcher…
