It honestly feels like the whole world has agreed on one thing: Germans are rude.Whenever I see street interviews on TikTok asking people to name the rudest nationalities, Germans are almost always the first ones mentioned — basically taking the number one spot for the rudest people in the world. And as someone who was born and raised in Germany, I’m always like… damn. Are we really that bad? 😭And the funny thing is: Even Germans themselves probably wouldn’t agree on the answer. Some would say, “Yeah… I totally understand why people think that.” Others would strongly disagree.Me? I would say: Yes and no.Because I completely understand why Germans can come across as rude, cold or even mean — but what’s actually behind that “rudeness” is often something completely different.So in today’s episode, we’re looking at YOUR real-life experiences with Germans. I’m reacting to your comments and stories about moments where a German made you think: Why are these people so mean?! 😭But I’ll also give you the German perspective: Why did that person react like that? What did they actually mean? And where does this behavior culturally and historically come from?Basically: Are Germans actually rude… or are we all just misunderstanding each other?Let’s find out.And after listening, I NEED to know: What has your experience with Germans been like? Do you think Germans are rude? Let me know in the comments. 👀🇩🇪
