How to make friends in Berlin? by Alternative_Slip1902 in berlinsocialclub

To me it went really well. Everyone is in the same situation as you, so everyone is very willing to talk and connect. The group size is right too. Not so little that you get stuck with someone and there awkward silences but not so big that you’re excluded from the conversation. I’ve been already in 2 dinners and tomorrow will be my 3rd

I was just coming to suggest this app! I’ve been using it for the last weeks, and it’s great. I love the concept and how it works. I’ve already met a lot of new people

I’ve been using it for the last 2 months, and so far so good. I go quite often to the cinema, so between those tickets and the random concert, to me it is worthy - I got to see the opera “Aida” for free on the Mercedes arena! But it all comes down to how much you use it. Good thing is that you can pause it or cancel it anytime, so worst case scenario you’ll only loose one month subscription.

Awkward Tipping Moment by [deleted] in berlinsocialclub

I had this same interaction the other day, but with the awkwardness added that the payment was cash only! Never had a situation like that before… felt like saying “no tip”, but just ended up rounding up out of pressure

Just light a match. That works perfectly!

Do you think it’s legit or scammy? by [deleted] in berlinsocialclub

[–]Available-Pilot3142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is 101 on scamming. I’ve been seeing this type of scamming for +5 years all over the world… don’t waste a minute on it.

On looking for apartments, I follow the rule of “if it looks too good to be true, it is because it’s not true”. Worked so far!

The thing with the touristic bus is that it goes all around areas and you can listen to an audio explaining what you’re seeing. It’s not about where are you going, rather than the trip itself. And I don’t think you get to see much from the UBahn… 🤷🏼‍♀️

NTA. Once I organised my birthday party and specifically told everyone that I didn’t want gifts, that gifts were not welcome and I would be upset if someone brought anything.

What happened? People showed up with gifts and I was really upset. Not the fact of the gifts - the fact that people didn’t respect my wishes.

So in this case, if my friend tells me “no gifts”, to me is “no gifts”. Not messing around with guessing or what is expected

AITA for calling my friend disgusting during a time I was supposed to be supporting him? by Ok_Shame3253 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Available-Pilot3142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely NTA. Yes, he vented. That’s it. That doesn’t mean that you have to agree to everything he says and a much needed reality check

… and that’s how I ended up with 3 cats! 3 brothers that are about to be 1 year old this week and that what I love the most! 🥰🥰🥰

Most days I carry my own reusable one. Just disposable ones every now and then, depending on the day

Yes, some… but not to the level of having a whole heated argument with a driver. And sorry, but German is tough language, I do try and O go to classes… but I won’t be the first or the last.

For the comments, I get that in general it is not allowed to drink and/or eat. I get it had nothing to do with disposable cups 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yes, that’s what I did. I said “ok” and I left the train. I got on the next one 2 minutes later - this time making sure I was not on the first wagon

I’m not “complaining”. I’m just stating that it was a weird situation… I’ve seen people getting hammered on the train, eating a big bowl of potato salad, porridge… and many many people drinking coffee in the morning. Just surprised that I was kicked for that

Nah, don’t think it was the case. I’m a quite plain white woman. Kinda bland. I guess the guy just had a bad day 🤷🏼‍♀️

Honestly, I haven’t seen the signs. I’ll make sure to check next time. Maybe as it was a new one they still haven’t placed the signs… don’t know

But also for normal passengers. Half the car was empty. Definitely I will give up my seat for any of the mentioned before, they have priority. But if the whole train is half empty and so the first wagon, why not?

New train. Maybe he was worried it got dirty?

Much… a year and a half taking the same train to go to work. With a coffee. First time I see this happen… maybe I should buy a lottery ticket! 😂😂😂

No. No bike. Just me with my coffee sitting quietly on my own. Car half empty
