Humor

This Brit is married to a German and lives in Germany. He deals with the German cultural habits in a very funny way by playing his German alter ego. Well, not in this clip, but in every other clip he made. I love his videos, but the comments are even better, lol.

Yeah, you better remember that. :laughing:

I shouldn‘t drink anything else but water when reading those comments. Especially no coffee. :see_no_evil:

Liam trying Mettbrötchen. :laughing:

When his German family (incl. his German alter ego) realizes for the first time, Liams mind-set is finally germanized, lol. :laughing: :joy:

Having breakfast and watched it again. It made me laugh just like yesterday and I remembered, that I only recently wrote in the tv series section a similar phrase when saying, that I can‘t complain about the German Kabarettist shows (which is about political satire). It‘s not that I sometimes also say a compliment in a more positive way, like they are great, but I often indeed understate when expressing a praise. Reading the comments, some of my fellow Germans di d realize this habit for the first time as well, lol. I didn‘t know that‘s rather a German trait. We do that not only when it comes to complimenting someone else, but also when it comes to oneself regarding qualifications in for example a job interview. We have a general tendency for understatement.

And yes, some of us complain even when there is no reason to complain. Many look for the negative aspect in everything, even when it‘s just an empty place. My guess is I don’t do that. As for example I am a very calm car driver. Barely a situation I feel the need to honk and even less need to express my displeasure by saying something like cursing etc. When I am a passenger, this always surprises me to see and hear the driver (and there is zero difference between male and female drivers) how aggressive they react to other drivers actions. I am just pretty plaintive when I feel aches. At the dentist I always demand a painkiller when a drill is going to be used. I know quite a few who rather fear the syringe than the pain from hitting a nerve by the drill. God, even thinking about that pain makes me cringe.

Interesting is, despite I also rather patiently endure waiting (for example at the doctors office - well it depends if the employees are polite - I instantly feel the blood pressure rising when calling a company and a machine is at the other end instead of a person, lol.

You must not be familiar with the pain of the syringe hitting a nerve.

That is irritating but you can’t complain, it is the way of the world.

True, unfortunately. Just yesterday I had to wait for over an hour on the phone till I finally got to a clerk at the pension insurance provider.

Were you denied?

No, I just wanted to extend the approval period for the stationary rehabilitation measure (back aches), as the earliest time I can get a room with my dog is at the end of May next year. At that time their originally approved period would be due already. I got it btw. Need to drive about 3,5 hours on the Autobahn to a clinic nearby Frankfurt, though. The good thing is, only 50 km from that clinic lives an old time befriended couple which I met when making vacation in the Dominican Republic in my early twenties, if even. We are going to meet at some weekend and go for a hike. They have a dog as well. :blush:

Ahh, see there. You complained for nothing lol.

No I did not complain for nothing! :innocent: Over an hour of wasted life time on the phone for such a banality.

You make no sense. It seems like you’re just looking for the negative aspect of everything but I don’t care. Complain all you want.

Relax, Michele.

I am relaxed. Probably too relaxed.

Or that.

If that would be all - what a beautiful country this would be, lol.

I love that selfmade nativity scene. I have never seen anything more cute. That baby Jesus wirh the halo, rofl. And beside a Dinosaur. :rofl::clap:

Barfbag.
