How to annoy a German!

[melluransa]

This list is fun! I wonder if any of these apply to the twins. Some ways include taking all the lounge chairs by the pool and saying you don't like asparagus. I wonder if this list is accurate! 19leela89, let me know!

Here is the list.

Heh, that was an interesting read. I'm curious now if it IS true. xD

Cross at a red light (with small children)-
yup, defianetly. I find it annoying when there are small children around even if they are not with you. That's probably because I've been raised to wait a t red lights because it's dangerous and you're supposed to be rolemodel for children. If it's dark and no kids around I do cross roads that aren't busy. and if I'm in England for example I just do as everyone does ;).

Stare back at them using binoculars-
not sure about this one. Can't say I find that particularly German. I don't stare at people, if I'm on a bus in Germany or the tube in London....

Use fancy English words they don’t understand-
ehm...are we really smug about our English? I don't thnik so. Germans tend to be quite modest imo. Especially with their foreign language skills. Iam studying English, yet I know my English isn't perfect. I'm proud of my skills but know I always learn.....

Urinate standing up-
yup. I hate when a guy does that. LOL

Say you don’t like asparagus, especially if it’s white-
I don't care if you like asparagus. I don't like other food so what?
I used to hate asparagus.I know like it. And yes, I prefer the white stuff LOL And I've never met anyone who was mad if you didn't like it oO
this made me laugh.

Recycle erroneously-
can't say Germans watch the recycle boxes for glass bottles 24/7 XD but yes, if someone would see you doing it wrong they'd probably look at you madly :D.

Break the news that no one outside Germany has seen Dinner For One-
I find that fact more amusing than annoying tbh. I love dinner for one because I used to watch it as a kid and found the butler hilarious.but so what if Germany is the only country to have it as a classic...
I find more annoying that noone(okay few) know(s) Hanni&Nanni by Enid Blyton. It's originally called St. Claire's and the most known series of books over here by her after Famous Five.

Set your alarm and grab the sun loungers first-
and British tourists are always drunk :D
I don't know about this but I guess they'd be annoyed. I've never been on that type of vacation ;).

Wow, thanks for answering! I have to admit that some of these are annoying to everyone, like the recycling one and being stared at. I didn't believe the one about being smug about english skills, like you said most are modest and will admit their english isn't the best. Mine isn't the best! XD
