Evan Fisher
Wow so do Austrians have this too? Because I remember some really awkward discussions there and there too they had to make remarks out of nowhere which I didn't care about.

Germans still have weird people amongst them though. I once saw a hotel that used to be a prison; and today Germans go there and pay to be treated harshly like a prisoner, receive really bad food and get shouted at etc...
Aso I remember visiting a contract company for work-related issues in Saarland. I told a gentle joke, the Belgians laughed, but the Germans kept silent and gave me looks.
I felt quite uncomfortable, but in the cigarette break they came to me, were really friendly and told me they were amused with my remark.
Apparently it is not done to make jokes on work-time there.
Jace Sanders
>Be Belgian
>make jokes at work
you honestly thought this was acceptable?
Ethan Long
He is completely right.
For example try ordering the same as someone else in Germany with the sentence:
"Ich hätte gerne das selbe".
You will be corrected instantly.
Samuel Jackson
>be autistic NEET
>assume no one jokes at work
Nigga u playin' rite?
Americans joke at any job except for big govt, big institution and robotic corporations. Go to any small business and you will see jokes among employees, not stern autists like you.
John Reyes
Big gov worker here.iterally all we do is joke
>This is why you should be anti government
Jack Edwards
>be person
>make jokes at work
AHAHAHAHAHA HOLY SHIT
Kayden Moore
Yeah, we do it all the time, nothing mean, just some light humor, it relieves the tension.
Life is grim enough, you spend half of it at work, it should be bearable.
Aiden Long
>make joke near an American
>he reaches for his flashlight
Jayden Green
i really can't tell if this guy is being a cheeky cunt or totally srs
Andrew James
this is actually kind of shocking, do you have a high paying job or is this just more of a standard working class type position?
Nicholas Davis
It's all true but I still hate people like that "look at me I'm so americanized, these silly Germans haha look at how succesfully degermanized I am can I be accepted now I just looove the sophisticated Anglo humour" yeah we get it.
John Miller
Shh, don't tell the Europeans or they'll ban light.
Logan Cooper

>he replies seriously
Ian Stewart

I am biochemist; still doesn't matter if I am amongst workers or "middle management".

Easton Johnson

Brody Harris

Isaiah Edwards

Ethan Barnes

You don't get ANY jokes, holy shit. It's so foreign to you, you think it has to be this elaborate mechanism you have to formulaically WORK with.
Levi Harris
not really
Ethan Watson
Can you shows some sketch or something that Germans find funny? Subtitles are a must.
Leo Bailey
I made a habit out of always saying "das selbe", and I get corrected time and time again.
Nicholas Walker
The best German humor is unintended humor like:

To be fair some parts are stil funny. It just sounds a bit awkward because the actors make these un-natural pauses to make room for the laugh track.
Sorry that was shit desu.
Carson Walker

Logan Martin
you just don't understand it
Justin Morales
it's funny for danes
Daniel Long
>Germans aren't funny

Bentley Allen
That's just a shitty joke and I wouldn't have pretended to laugh about it either. Maybe just a short haha for politeness' sake but not more.
Brody Morris
wtf
Benjamin Parker
It's not like our work suffers because of a light-hearted pun.
I've read stories about a guy getting sacked because he held the door open for a female collegue, and this was considered male chauvinism or something similar.
However I always thought that such a thing was an extreme example. I hope you're not telling me that in the States everyone at work is terrified of saying a wrong word or doing something to "offend" a woman/minority/etc... ?
That would make the atmosphere unbearable.
Samuel Parker
From the article:
Shortly after moving back to Germany in 2012 [...] I took my kids to the Berlin zoo. The children were two, four and seven at the time, and had already developed a keen sense of irony (particularly the eldest one) – or at least they understood that dad doesn’t always mean things literally, because, you know, it’s funny. So we queued for our tickets, trading silly jokes. [...] we deliberately spoke German, to help us acclimatise to our new home. In a mood of levity, we approached the ticket window.
The lady behind it informed me that the price for the elder two was such-and-such and the little’un was free.
>“What if I pay you a bit extra and you keep them?”
I suggested. The kids snortled and started naming prices that might clear the market.
The lady stared back, horrified. Then, slowly, she leaned forward to look at my children, who stiffened.
>“Your dad does not really mean that,” she said.
>“He does not really want to sell you.”
Brayden Stewart
holy shit that's so true (at least in BW).
Also I hate it when people answer the question "Kannst du bitte ... (Could you please...)" with that "funny" reply "Ja kann ich. (Yes, I can)" without doing anything. It's so annoying.
Asher Garcia
>Ja kann ich.
I do this if I want to be a real annoying cunt.
