5 German words for bags and how they're used!
As a follow up to my last word-chart on bags, I experimented with a different visual presentation. I worked on it forever, and I also took all the suggestions for improvement. I'm super excited about it, and here's the result! 👇👇👇
Random thought: Y'all should stop protesting and instead have environmental groups praise the tariffs for reducing overconsumption.
No more cheap crap that nobody needs and it's just gonna end up in a landfill!
My (non-native English speaker) kid calls Americans "united people" and i just thought that today of all days I'd mention it.
As a former-lawyer-now-product-owner, i secretly chuckle when a ticket for an image-upload feature says "allowed formats: .jpeg, .png" and i can't upload a .jpg during QA.
Like, not even mad. You got what you asked for.
Skinny dipping in America: omg! Scandalous!
Skinny dipping in Germany: DER SAUNABEREICH IST EINE TEXTILFREIE ZONE!!!

I didnt realize how deep French-Canadian culture ran in me until i went to clothing stores in Berlin and employees would tell me they don't speak German.
And I'm like... how is this allowed.
My German colleagues tried to explain to me why they thought magic wand in French (baguette magique) was so hilarious to them.
Took me a good 2 minutes to get it, so i guess that's what Germans feel when foreigners say German words are funny...
Spouse just rented an office in Berlin and apparently on the first day he needs to bring his own LOCK.
Not, like, a padlock for a locker.
An actual lock. The thing in the door that the key goes in. He needs to bring his own.
Is this a normal Berlin thing?

Girl bought seats (!) on a night train AND didn't sit at her reserved seat then complains about being too stressed about being kicked out of the seat to sleep. 🙄

I mean, yes, it's Germany, there's no reason they need to worry about how English speakers read their brands, but still...
Recently started working at a German company and omg going to the doctor is like a national sport.
And I come from Canada where there's public healthcare.
Actual German person: I bought a car but unfortunately the fuel door doesn't lock.
Me: ... what? why....
Them: then people could just siphon your gas!
Greatest economy in Europe, ladies and gents.
