Sorry I'm late!
Traffic jams, transfer to city transport, crowded subway, important phone call at no time or just a waste of time... The reasons for the delay in a scheduled meeting could be many. But if you're more impressed by the lack of excuses after delay than the delay itself, then you have much in common with the Germans. In Germany, it is almost impossible to meet a man who will miss to apologize if he arrived late.
Empty boulevard and red light
Do you wait for the green to turn on necessarily to cross or will you run a red light if there are no cars? The honest answer to this question will reveal to you how strict you are. If you do not cross until the light is green, but you also make a remark to those who do, there is no dispute with the Germans you are of the same company. Their sense of compliance is proverbial and cannot simply be silent if they witness such a violation, especially if the breacher is a mother with a small child.
Separate waste disposal
Cosibility is a characteristic feature of the Germans, so three types of trash cans can be found in the German home. For Bulgaria, the introduction of such a order in the home is utopia for now, but if you prefer to walk another block just to dump your trash in the tricolor containers or return your glass bottles to the store, then you work for the protection of nature as a true German!
You're not going to visit empty-handed.
Do you do what the Germans do? Even without a special occasion to celebrate, the typical German guest will come to visit with a bouquet of flowers for the hostess, treats for the children and a bottle of nice wine for the host. These little gestures show the guest's appreciation for his hospitality.
Discussion of the international situation
Events that occur around the world, important local news is an important element of everyday contact with people. This is a topic of conversation even with strangers waiting for the bus. However, discussing political issues is done skillfully without entering into unnecessary political dispute. If you prefer diplomatic treatment, even in the most dissipated political dispute, then you have a common trait with the German people.
Beer sense
The colder the beer, the better! The popular attitude towards the hop drink is a euregreen phrase from Bulgarian cinema - will slap me with hot beer. The Germans, however, do not consider warm beer a passing meter, on the contrary, prefer it. If you prefer it warmer, it's probably because you're guarding your throat, and now you're wondering why world-famous beer connoisseurs don't mind being warm. The answer may surprise you - the hot drink has more pronounced taste notes and so it can easily be determined its quality, and the colder the beer, the harder it is to understand whether it is good or not.
