Is it racist to dislike Germans?

[Adam]

But I dislike them through dealing with two of them, so now I hate them all.

We do couchsurfing / airbnb / housetrip in our London flat. For those that pay it's fairly cheap with breakfast, WiFi, parking space. We are accommodating I think! But we had the rudest guests last week staying only one night (thankfully) and they gave us the worse review.

Now I'm extra pissed. £38 a night for staying near central London is cheap, now all I can think about is how fucking ungrateful these Germans were.

And shit like arriving 4 hours earlier than check in and leaving gas knob on (the master switch was off). I want to just let it go but I'm laying in bed thinking about it and I am tempted to email a FUCK YOU! Grrr.

[checkyourprez]

i fucking hate krauts, especial fc bayern muenchen.

they are wonderfully industrious people though.


one of my good friends is german. sadly, my girlfriend is also part german.


it is not racist to dislike germans.

[abbott]

wow. i say dont dislike all Germans

[abbott]

but email the fuck you

[Dorothy Wood]

I only know German Americans, they're pretty cool. I don't think I'd like German tourists though, I feel like non-English speaking European tourists are usually pretty annoying. At least when they stop into my shop. The French are the worst, I think. So pushy and unaware of an appropriate volume to speak in. OH BLAH BLAH BLAH LOOK AT THIS, WE'RE SO FRENCH, OUI OUI OUI, ETC.

I pretty much hate all tourists though, they are bothersome. I don't think they mean it, but they are bothersome. And people from New York LOVE to say "well, we're from New York". I'm like, "good for you lady, thank you for telling me something that has absolutely no bearing on this transaction". It's just not a tourist shop, it's a neighborhood personal custom attention shop, not an ask a million questions about the city and tell me where to eat shop.

So yeah, fuck those German bastards.

[Adam]

We've had a few French people stay and they have been fine.

I just want to let it go but my brain refuses so far (it's 5am and I woke thinking about it). I don't want to get into an email war though.

Let it go Adam!

[Bob]

the men's room at the bar i go to a lot has the tiniest, most awkward men's room and two french guys decided that it was a cool place to have a super-loud conversation right in my ear while i was trying to pee, so i don't like the french, or at least not those french

though to be fair i guess it's more of a drunk thing than a french thing, but still, it's way easier to hate the french than alcohol

[yeahwho]

There are no dislike crimes so I think you have the green light to go dislike.

That's good to know.

Hate is such a strong word and I don't hate them. They are just unfair, not very nice people and thus I assume the nation is.

[yeahwho]

Rush Limbaugh said in his apology he was being absurd (http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2012/03/03/a_statement_from_rush). (after calling Sandra Fluke a feminazi, prostitute and slut he also would like to view a porno video of her)

You can probably tweak it up, I think from dislike to absurd. Maybe absurd is a downgrade.

of course Rush's apology had a lot of conditions... like reading a novel (http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2012/03/05/why_i_apologized_to_sandra_fluke).

this is the proper level of severity by 2012 stanards.

racist
hater
dislike
absurd
germaphobe

I'm not sure if it's in ascending or descending order.

i was caught off guard about this, because yesterday morning I was in a group studying World War 2 and the question was are all Germans evil? The overall answer was no. There was several examples, like the plot to kill Hitler and after the Germans got their ass kicked and handed to them, they made the locals go look at the concentration camps and most Germans were blown away....

Anyway, left that class to find/open your post. I think whenever you decide who not to like because of race, nationality, family then your probably stepping into a mistake. However, hating a motherfucking dick is great.

[Randetica]

do austrians count as germans too? cause we actually got quite different mentalities, only the bavarians are mostly like us (the alp austrians)

i remember some italiens in italy didnt care to help us out cause they confused us with german germans but when we said we are from austria they got all friendly..




so correctly said, hitler was an austrian, not german :cool:
end of story!

[Adam]

I think most people forget Austria exists and thus don't really register on their radar.

Like Belgium.

:p

that is true though but i dont mind, all i want is us not getting confused with "them" and im happy

[MC Moot]

On the other hand Funky Pepp is German and she is a lovely person...

[gbsuey]

You can do Basil and Cybil "don't mention the war" next time you have a German person stay. Hilarity will ensue.

[LuciferHam]

Every German I've met has been really friendly and awesome. But these are the ones that make the effort to go to New Zealand. So theyre probably escaping the dickheads in their own country.

[Adam]

Our next guests were some Czechs - they were awesome. We have a Nigerian arriving today - seems a little too Christian and on my google snope I found out he is the CEO of four companies. I have no clue what any of them do. It sounds like it's his first time to London but I think he will be an OK guest from the email exchanges so far.

[mikizee]

I wanna read this review!

[Adam]

Unfortunately, the images corresponded (by far) is not the reality. The apartment is quiet, that's true, but the "budget" untidy and "unclean". In the kitchen, stacked the dishes, kitchen linen was missing completely (and night after Rage was not to drive on). The room darkening not read, or slammed shut the blinds at night. The bathroom is no longer seen cleaner longer and the shower is for people who are not dependent on a strong jet of water. When we left our landlord appeared not to (they were sleeping? Next door). Unfortunately, the money was not worth the stay.

&

Annika and her mother appeared to want 5* hotel accommodation on a 1* budget. Although we attempted to be accommodating to their many requests and keep the apartment clean and tidy, I think it would have been impossible to satisfy their requirements. The photos of our room were taken by a photographer approved by another site we list on (where we have many positive reviews) and so the fact that they are of our flat has been verified. This is our home, we live in it while we have guests, therefore after we have eaten, we have dishes. We made an exception in allowing them to use the kitchen to cook their meal without them asking in advance - our listing does say that we need people to contact us in advance because we do cook our meals in there and so if we are expecting people to use the kitchen, we can work around it. Also our flat is clean but shows wear and tear as any home (especially one in expensive London) does. You can see many positive reviews left by other guests on our other listings on air bnb. In short, we provided a cheap room to these guests with car parking, breakfast, access to our kitchen in zone 2 of London. If they were expecting 5* accommodation, I'm afraid they should have considered increasing their budget and getting a hotel (easily £200 a night) rather than stay in somebody's home.

"the shower is for people who are not dependent on a strong jet of water"



that made me laugh a little.

[Adam]

The translation is auto from Google. The shower is fine too, not like a jet but then London is actually in official drought so there is no way I am turning it up.

The night after rage drive on is another poor translation that I think meant "bad nights sleep after a long drive". She drove 150 miles I think, it's not far but driving in London is horrible and how can I control the sun coming up? The does leak a little night but not so much you can't sleep in it. Everything about them winds me up.

i'm hosting these two jerks from canada this weekend. UGH

now that is fucking racist.

[Turchinator]

I told that kraut a fucking thousand times that I don't roll on Shabbos!

[Adam]

This Nigerian is hard work. Kim and I are kinda introvert and he is very outgoing. Which is OK and we can tolerate it but it's tiring for us. He has three phones that are always ringing, he has had his family round unannounced who are also loud and outgoing. We want to be good hosts but I think we more want host like us - those who don't bother the hoster and just get on with their stuff.

This is like my sounding blog for hosting now. I'll update often with my stereotyping and casual racism of different nations. Since I don't think my gf checks this site but know I post, I will also say if we get anyone hot staying :D

[Dorothy Wood]

Holy shit, there are german tourists taking up so much space in my store right now. There's a toddler with them, plus all their luggage. They're just standing around talking so loud. I feel like they were summoned by the universe to annoy me.

[Dorothy Wood]

Nevermind, they were Dutch! I love Dutch people. I guess I just hate tourists, and I'm bad at distinguishing accents and language.

Ah well, at least they bought a U.S. map. Coulda done without the pointing and naming American cities for 10 minutes though.

I need a vacation so I can go annoy some other shop girl.
