Easter Egg I really like your videos! It always makes me smile especially when I had a bad day. Thank you wo much for your videos! And to everyone reading this. Have an nice day, week, month, year!
The Anthem consists only of the one verse, so it is wrong to say "Don't sing the first verse". Yor are referring to the "Lied der Deutschen" of which the third verse is the text of the National Anthem.
Regularly letting your gas tank get near empty puts a lot of stress on your fuel pump, which will eventually cause it to fail. I speak from experience!
#11 That's one thing good that came out of the pandemic...Germans now don't stand on top of me in the line at the store/bakery/whatever anymore. That was so frustrating for me before and I enjoy people standing back a bit now. I hope that doesn't change when/if things get back to normal.
zu Nr.3, 'Nose outside the Mask' : die perfekte Antwort auf einen Satz wie:"bitte ziehen sie ihre Maske richtig auf", lautet: (mit ernstem Blick und erhobenem Zeigefinger) "du weißt...! du gehst heut ohne Essen ins Bett, wenn du nicht aufhörst zu heulen!"
My sister was reprimanded at a public market for handling produce and putting it back. “Please don’t handle the produce. I will get for you what you need”
easter egg: actually it isnt sung anymore because of: "Von der Maas bis an die Memel, Von der Etsch bis an den Belt" which is now not geographically correct anymore ;) the 2nd stanza isnt sung anymore because it sounds strange to focus on: "Deutsche Frauen, deutsche Treue, Deutscher Wein und deutscher Sang" so they decided that the 3rd is the offical anthem - as it resembles german values. but it is not illegal :p
I‘m a german - born in the Ruhrpott and my personal Bubble is around 1m. Now I have at work two worker from Serbia which I have to explain and train the things. Their personal bubble is around 10cm (or 6“). They making me aggressive 🤯
Well i refill my gas when it's kinda cheap. I pass two gas stations on my way to work so i start checking the prices from about 50% left. From germany though and previously i refilled at 5-10%
Dein Akzent beim Englisch sprechen ist der Wahnsinn 😂 Deutscher gehts nicht. Bin durch Zufall auf euch gestoßen,toller Kanal. Lieben Gruß an euch aus NRW,tolle Videos die einen den lockdown leichter machen.
Follow up: i greatly appreciate your focus on the right way to wear masks and "respect" the bubbles. I can only laught about the latter because i work in retail and i'm more treated as an object u can get close to than as a person you should keep your distance towards -.-
As far as gas goes, it depends on the time of year. My grampa taught me to always have at least 1/2 a tank of gas in the car in the winter. This is for safety incase you go off the road (we get lots of snow and sometimes the roadways are not well maintained; also keep a few blankets, water, flashlight, shovel, snow scrapers and some form of food/water in the car as well). In the summer time, I have ever gone down to the E, but there are 5 gas stations just within a 5 mile radius of my home. I try to not go below 1/4 tank.
In San Francisco Bay Area,it’s a huge ticket fine to run out if gas on a Bridge (Bay Bridge,Golden Gaye Bridge ) I’m sure it’s against the law to also drive with a vehicle that ‘more likely than not’ will break down on the bridge.
Wow in florida they have people who work for the state drive up and down the highway and will come give you free gas to move you along and in california you get a ticket
Deana you are correct you should fill fuel tank at 1/4 waiting to when it’s on E picks up sediment from tank and blocks the filter potentially stopping the engine
Easter Egg. In Iowa in winter, it is unsafe to let your gas tank go below 25%, especially when it's below 0° F. I don't always abide by this, I like the edge, too😂
Those rules are so true. ...but... 😄 Desinfecting your hands BEFORE you go into a supermarket... I don`t recall this being a rule. And I ask myself, if it really makes much sense. So many products in the supermarket. Everybody touches it. So if there is a time to desinfect your hands, it`s AFTER you have been in the market. At least, this is my opinion. ... and this is not meant to be as a fight.😄 Great video, and I hope you hit the 100k soon.👍👍
after shopping you can do it for yourself. before shopping you should do it for the other people who will touch the same things you will touch with clean hands.
Half a tank is my new "empty" on my vehicle. Lol. I'm in the USA. I do this because it's always best to have more fuel than you need in this weird times.
I lived in Frankfurt for 10 years and I never knew there were raccoons in Germany. What a surprise. Saw that they were mistakenly introduced in the 1930s. Where I live in the American south there are many raccoons in my own backyard.
the first 2 verses of "das lied der deutschen" is not a part of the german national anthem. only the 3. verse is the national anthem, so basicly you can only sing the 1. verse of the national anthem because there is only one verse. the first 2 verses of "das lied der deutschen" is not forbidden because its not a part of the national anthem but you shouldnt sing it for obvious reasons.
#12 Do NOT say :"Jah, Danke" to the cashier in the shop. Say "jah, bitte" or else you will just cause a whole lot of giggling from native Germans in the cew behind you. 😆🙈 "Ach, Die Dumme Dänen" 👏🤪🇩🇰😂 LOL!
Easter egg. I know that the nazi emblem is forbidden, most restored World War II aircraft are missing the tail emblem due to this. When they filmed the Movie Shining Through in Berlin there was much time spent delaying filming on the permitted use of nazi flags, and other accruements being used. A side note, really enjoy your videos. Taking my wife to her first trip to Germany this December. Spending Christmas in Trier, New Years in Berlin. You two are awesome, keep up the fun, engaging and educational videos.
I’m not sure about other countries, but guidelines, mandates....are not laws in the U.S. Laws have to be voted on through legislative or signed by the executive branch of government. Just clarifying.
Totally with you on the gas tank, Deanna. My brother always said it was best not to let the tank get down to the dregs in the bottom of the tank anyway, lol. I almost always fill up when the needle gets down to the last quarter. That's crazy, though, about the produce. I might go through 15 tomatoes when I shop just to find the right one. Sorry, but at least my hands are clean, lol.
the first and second verse of the national anthem is not forbidden or illegal. but the official national anthem is just the third verse. But sure you can sing the first and second verse, but no wonder when people think you are a nazi.
Easter egg! When it comes to fruit I don't smell it as much as I look for the ripest or unripe(depending on what I'm looking for). For melons I was taught to tap them and to listen to the sound it makes. (Depends on the melon) here comes the bit but, I carry quite a bit of sanitizer with me and sanitize between each. Then I go home and wash th outside of the melon before I cut it as well. My teenager is one of those nose-out of mask," Mum it just doesn't fit over my nose!" So I've started carrying duck tape. Just taking it out usually makes him put his mask back up.
I'm a year late to this party! Easter egg. New sub and enjoying your videos. Found them while searching for info about Christmas markets and planning my trip this winter. I also learned my first German words from another of your videos and have been practicing every day since! 🤗 And definitely don't be the nose guy... so annoying 🤥
I came across this Guy in the store, with his nose out of his mask. I said put your mask over your nose. He said "my nose is to big". so i said that's not an excuse, i wear underwear 2!
Not smelling things in the supermarket... I get it, and I wouldn't smell on food or such. But what about cleaning or washing products, because you more or less need to? In my case, I am pretty sensitive to smells (Asthma). If I buy a new fabric softener or something like this (for example if the one I always use is sold out or not available), I need to smell it in order to know if I can handle the product. (If I can, I will buy the one I smelled, but if it is to strong, or make my airways all cramped and tight, I won't buy it as I wouldn't be able to use it. In this case I would try another - and yes, if you wonder: atm I smell with the mask on, of course) -> normally I know which products I can use. This is only the case if the product I used for years isn't available any more, or out of stock and I need to buy an unknown product And I often have seen people smelling all kind of products before - shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, perfume, dish soap, washing detergent, ect.
Easter egg 🥚, Mexico/USA, is weird living in a border city, the same people who follow all the rules in USA brakes them in Mexico. Great video as always!
It was the same here in Germany vs. the Netherlands. I was shopping there last time in August and there was no mask requirement then and I was immediately recognized as a German because I was wearing a mask. There were about half only Germans shopping and almost all wore no masks. I was quite upset about it.
#easteregg 0:49 You're not supposed to throw broken drinking glasses (or any other type of glass than bottles) into the container. The glass type is different and they can not make new glass bottles out of it.
I like watching your videos you guys are awesome thank you for putting that information out there and everything else you do. I am from the USA but I have do have German descent on my father's side and have been curious about my history and you guys are helping with that little bit thank you.
Here in the Netherlands the support for covid rules are getting less and less, horeca, shops and other organizations are starting lawsuits agains the state. Young people had enough and start gathering in the big parks. There were even some riots a couple of weeks ago. Sow you can say people had enough of it.
Love point number 3! I usually only wear a mask in medical settings now but there are still people walking around with their noses hanging out. They might as well not wear a mask.
Easter egg :-) Even being German I usally start looking for low diesel prices when I have about 40 liters of diesel left in my tank and refuel latest at 20 liters unless prices are extremely high. I thereby mostly avoid having to refuel when prices are high and always having a backup just in case.
In Korea, gas stations are literally EVERYWHERE but most of them are amongst the Big Five. Since earning points and 'alleged' gas quality is important to many Koreans, we tend to seek a opinionated, specific brand of gas which sometimes make us to seek through the navigation system. Oh and also, easter egg.
For the food thing, is there acceptions? Like squeezing an avocado to make sure it's ready, or smacking a watermelon to see if it's got juice or tugging on pineapple leaves to see if it's ripe enough?
I disinfect my own hands rather than let someone spray me down. Lol. I make and use my own organic hand sanitizer, and I've been doing this for years before covie came around. Just common sense if you don't have access to running water to wash your hands...
Singing the first verse of Deutschlandlied is actually not a punishable offence and it also isn´t really forbidden just very frowned apon. It has long been an urban myth also along Germans that there was a law that forbade it but that is not true. It is also not the "first verse of the German anthem", because the German anthem is defined as the third verse of the Deutschlandlied. So singing it is not forbidden in Germany and to call it the German anthem is also wrong. There is however one song that is forbidden (text and melody) in Germany. It is the Horst-Wessel-Lied, the Song of the NSDAP and the SA.
#8 You have to smell the food, especially the tomatoes, because only then you will know if they will taste good or like nothing. a tomato that doesn't smell like anything will taste like nothing. A cucumber that smells like nothing will taste like nothing.when products smell like they are supposed to like a cucumber or a tomato they will actually taste like the fruit they are. the more intense they smell the better they taste
Das Lied der Deutschen ist nicht die deutsche Nationalhymne! Seit 1991 ist nur noch die dritte Strophe des Lied der Deutschen ganz offiziell die Nationalhymne. von 1949 bis 1991 war zwar das Lied der Deutschen noch vollständig die Nationalhymne, de facto war es aber doch nur die dritte Strophe.
Blockiere oder fahre niemals langsam auf der linken Fahrspur auf der Autobahn, wenn kein Tempolimit ist. Rechts überholen ist verboten. Schaue immer 2 mal nach hinten wenn du auf eine Spur wechselt wo schneller gefahren wird....
I’m with Deana, fill up when you get down to 1/4 tank. You never know when there is a emergency, and the last thing you would need to do is get gas. USA
"Do not smell produce and put it back"?! Is this a joke? Does it mean that if you handle any type of food like a slice of bread, you can't put it back? That has probably happened to me in Germany before.
#7 was cute guys!😂 I for sure thought you were going to mention not "jay walking" in Germany among the top 10! But perhaps everyone knows that already!
Sorry, bad example for Nr. 1, as you DON'T EVER EVER drink Weißbier aka Weizen out of the bottle! Never ever. But asides that you're absolutely right about that point. :D
Easter egg: the national anthem is just in a bad context with nazi germany. Originally it was the "Lied der Deutschen" and is over a 150 years old and it had nothing to do with nazi germany. But I understand how the text is very unpopular now.
Well, quite a few things are either frowned upon or illegal in Germany today because the Nazi Regime used them for their propaganda. The "Hakenkreuz" existed way before the Nazi, but they used it as their symbol so now it's forbidden... I'm sure there are more things like this but I'd have to really think about it... 🤔😅
Easter egg ;) What's about riding your bike when you have drinked Alkohol? or walking over the road while the traffic light is red? It can cost your driver license did you know that? (I mean in Germany)
alcohol and drugs: not only driver's license, but since losing the driver's license proves that you are not reliable enough to handle vehicles, you might also lose your pilot license, ship license, etc. walking a red light (by foot, not with a bicycle) only gives a fine but usually shouldn't give points and thus not cause you to lose the driver license !?
Wait, does this mean I can't have a bird feeder in my yard?? T____T its one of my little joys... to watch the birds eating...lol wait, can i have a bird bath though??
As soon as the indicator light for the reserve tank in the car comes on, I get nervous, and there's a reason for that: With my first car, I broke down once on a main road, the sensor in the gas tank was out of order, and I didn't notice it. Right in front of a car dealership, within sight of a gas station. Ouch, how embarrassing! I am currently back in the open office for a period of time after 10 months of Work From Home and there is a smoking area outside where you don't have to wear a mask (officially allowed). I always take 2-3 steps back if my colleagues get too close to me during a conversation while smoking and this always causes some disturbed looks. I also say it directly, if the distance is too small for me, I do not care what the colleagues think 😂 a colleague said the other day jokingly that I will start in a few weeks to bite people, because I slowly probably hate human contact 🤣 I will get a webcam as soon as I do WFH again. Some work colleagues show half their apartment via zoom in the meeting, I will set a background - this is my personal bubble and my work space has no interest to any colleague. Basta! 😜
I dread the day Germans go back to zero personal space. But I'm curious why you like the shopping cart! OH, is it cuz you're more likely to get more personal space when everyone has one? That hasn't worked out well for me. Maybe we need shopping carts that aren't just in front of you, but in back and both sides. Yes!
@@LythaWausW i hate when people stay so close that you feel them breathing into your neck and toouch you when they grab besides you for groceries and stuff i have some Psychic illnesses and the chopping cart rule makes it more doable to go shopping without panicing or even let the cart on his place and leave
So basically most of these points are pandemic related! 👍 Also, Easter egg 😊 and I have just a quick question. The video snippet you included regarding using hand sanitizer when entering the super market (2:30)... Both Phil and the guy spraying the sanitizer did not wear masks? When was this filmed? Just slightly confused

Don't gas up when the tank is getting empty. Gas up, when the prize is low!
exactly! 😂
Bestes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis! 😅
Since this year prices for gas are extremely high. In my area not under 1,45 euro/l.

die perfekte Antwort auf einen Satz wie:"bitte ziehen sie ihre Maske richtig auf", lautet:

In most places, no glass may be thrown into the container even on Saturday.
And only packaging glass is allowed in. No drinking glasses, etc.

For the food thing, is there acceptions? Like squeezing an avocado to make sure it's ready, or smacking a watermelon to see if it's got juice or tugging on pineapple leaves to see if it's ripe enough?
I disinfect my own hands rather than let someone spray me down. Lol. I make and use my own organic hand sanitizer, and I've been doing this for years before covie came around. Just common sense if you don't have access to running water to wash your hands...
Singing the first verse of Deutschlandlied is actually not a punishable offence and it also isn´t really forbidden just very frowned apon. It has long been an urban myth also along Germans that there was a law that forbade it but that is not true. It is also not the "first verse of the German anthem", because the German anthem is defined as the third verse of the Deutschlandlied. So singing it is not forbidden in Germany and to call it the German anthem is also wrong. There is however one song that is forbidden (text and melody) in Germany. It is the Horst-Wessel-Lied, the Song of the NSDAP and the SA.
So there still do the quiet Sunday in Germany! I remember growing up,yup no mowing the grass,loud music etc. Wow...it's been soooooo long
Maybe I’ll skip Germany on my next visit and go to a less hysterical country. There’s so many that don’t react like this
Do not throw the drinking glasses in the container. They can´t be recycled and you should give them to the ordinary litter box. 😉
#2 this is why the put the times on the container for when you can throw your glass in them. Just sayin
#6 and when you feed them Don't feed them bread. Because they will die in a horrible way.
#8 You have to smell the food, especially the tomatoes, because only then you will know if they will taste good or like nothing. a tomato that doesn't smell like anything will taste like nothing. A cucumber that smells like nothing will taste like nothing.when products smell like they are supposed to like a cucumber or a tomato they will actually taste like the fruit they are. the more intense they smell the better they taste
Das Lied der Deutschen ist nicht die deutsche Nationalhymne! Seit 1991 ist nur noch die dritte Strophe des Lied der Deutschen ganz offiziell die Nationalhymne. von 1949 bis 1991 war zwar das Lied der Deutschen noch vollständig die Nationalhymne, de facto war es aber doch nur die dritte Strophe.
I am from the UK. I have never worn a stupid mask or used hand sanitizer
#EasterEgg und liebe Grüße!:)
Blockiere oder fahre niemals langsam auf der linken Fahrspur auf der Autobahn, wenn kein Tempolimit ist. Rechts überholen ist verboten. Schaue immer 2 mal nach hinten wenn du auf eine Spur wechselt wo schneller gefahren wird....
I’m with Deana, fill up when you get down to 1/4 tank. You never know when there is a emergency, and the last thing you would need to do is get gas. USA
"Do not smell produce and put it back"?! Is this a joke? Does it mean that if you handle any type of food like a slice of bread, you can't put it back? That has probably happened to me in Germany before.
What about "beaters" on the roads in Germany/Europe? See lots in US. Travel videos look like plenty of nice cars on the roads.
#7 was cute guys!😂 I for sure thought you were going to mention not "jay walking" in Germany among the top 10! But perhaps everyone knows that already!
Sorry, bad example for Nr. 1, as you DON'T EVER EVER drink Weißbier aka Weizen out of the bottle! Never ever. But asides that you're absolutely right about that point. :D
Der Moment, wenn man als Deutscher nie die Hände desinfiziert hat, weil man das nicht wusste.
Thanks really appreciate you guys! Wish it was less expensive to relocate to Germany.
I always gas up when my tank is about to become half empty, I am that anxious. Oh yeah, and easter egg.
Easter egg: the national anthem is just in a bad context with nazi germany. Originally it was the "Lied der Deutschen" and is over a 150 years old and it had nothing to do with nazi germany. But I understand how the text is very unpopular now.
Well, quite a few things are either frowned upon or illegal in Germany today because the Nazi Regime used them for their propaganda. The "Hakenkreuz" existed way before the Nazi, but they used it as their symbol so now it's forbidden... I'm sure there are more things like this but I'd have to really think about it... 🤔😅
Easter egg ;)
What's about riding your bike when you have drinked Alkohol? or walking over the road while the traffic light is red? It can cost your driver license did you know that? (I mean in Germany)
alcohol and drugs: not only driver's license, but since losing the driver's license proves that you are not reliable enough to handle vehicles, you might also lose your pilot license, ship license, etc.
walking a red light (by foot, not with a bicycle) only gives a fine but usually shouldn't give points and thus not cause you to lose the driver license !?
Wait, does this mean I can't have a bird feeder in my yard?? T____T its one of my little joys... to watch the birds eating...lol wait, can i have a bird bath though??
You can Feed the birds in your Yard of corse. It isnt allowed to Feed the Animals of the Wildlife, Like for Example in the Forest or elseweise.
@@moritzfischer9401 oh good haha it was probably a stupid question but I had to ask up ease my mind lol
As soon as the indicator light for the reserve tank in the car comes on, I get nervous, and there's a reason for that: With my first car, I broke down once on a main road, the sensor in the gas tank was out of order, and I didn't notice it. Right in front of a car dealership, within sight of a gas station. Ouch, how embarrassing!
I am currently back in the open office for a period of time after 10 months of Work From Home and there is a smoking area outside where you don't have to wear a mask (officially allowed). I always take 2-3 steps back if my colleagues get too close to me during a conversation while smoking and this always causes some disturbed looks. I also say it directly, if the distance is too small for me, I do not care what the colleagues think 😂 a colleague said the other day jokingly that I will start in a few weeks to bite people, because I slowly probably hate human contact 🤣
I will get a webcam as soon as I do WFH again. Some work colleagues show half their apartment via zoom in the meeting, I will set a background - this is my personal bubble and my work space has no interest to any colleague. Basta! 😜
You forgot to mention, Do not cross the road on a red light
i am german but i hate eyecontact so much i physically cannot look someone in the eyes when cheersing
I think the 1,5m deviding should never stop and a shoping car must use in a supermarket also never should stop
I dread the day Germans go back to zero personal space. But I'm curious why you like the shopping cart! OH, is it cuz you're more likely to get more personal space when everyone has one? That hasn't worked out well for me. Maybe we need shopping carts that aren't just in front of you, but in back and both sides. Yes!
@@LythaWausW i hate when people stay so close that you feel them breathing into your neck and toouch you when they grab besides you for groceries and stuff i have some Psychic illnesses and the chopping cart rule makes it more doable to go shopping without panicing or even let the cart on his place and leave
I usually fill my tank when it gets to a quarter full as well.
So basically most of these points are pandemic related! 👍 Also, Easter egg 😊 and I have just a quick question. The video snippet you included regarding using hand sanitizer when entering the super market (2:30)... Both Phil and the guy spraying the sanitizer did not wear masks? When was this filmed? Just slightly confused
good observation! :) That clip was actually from very early when they first implemented hygiene rules. I think April 2020 or so.
Thanks for replying. It would have highly confused me otherwise 😊 stay safe and healthy you two! ❤️
easter egg - watching this I wonder how many social faux pas I made on my last holiday there (no national anthems btw)
Die deutsche Nationalhymne hat nur eine Strophe. Und zwar die dritte Strophe vom Deutschlandlied.
Ja, ich habe das "easter egg" gelesen.
Easter egg 😊 Love you guys!
I didnt understand number9..can someone explain to me?
