Doubt about the Germs tho.
Think only yesterday one of them posted a link without mentioning it was totally in German, bcs they think everyone knows their language.

I had the misfortune of spending time there before and swore never to go back.
10 years later I couldn't avoid it and had to be there a few days for work.
First interaction was in a gas station on a highway.
You know, where plenty people come from various countries.
Me "Sorry, do you speak English?"
Gas Germ: "Nein!" In the most fascist -WTF are you thinking!- manner.
I immediately turned around and walked back to the car where there was a cop furiously yelling at my co-worker for the crime of stopping in the wrong place (with him being in the car).
All in German, despite the obvious foreign license plate.
That was when I decided to never speak to one of them again and let my co-worker deal with it from then on.
Had some awkward situations with me just ignoring anything they said or asked, at best point to my co-worker when he was around.
