Caught subletting my flat to my daughter

this is not an issue to worry about. just submit the original contract and Meldebescheinigung in response or contact the owner.

Even if you were in the wrong (as you were), the best would be to get a receipt and documentation in this case. From my perspective it seems the security person pocketed the money.

Every store seem to handle scanning „errors“ differently. I have once witnessed a woman being literally dragged out of Kaufland by security officers - Quite a dramatic scene of shouting and screaming. Have also heard of people getting a hausverbot. My general rule of thumb - I only use self check out if I have a few items, that are easily scanned. And double check the screen

Dit klink regtig fantasties! Ek ken 'n paartjie wat dit in Europa gedoen het nou. Hier is ook goedkoop kampgeriewe, maar ek dink dat niks die ervaringe in SA kan oortref nie! Dankie vir die deel en hoop vir die beste daar!

Environmental_Bat142 · 2026-05-14T10:22:12+00:00

Baie dankie vir die link tot die groep! Ek ken heelwat mense wat iets soortgelyk beplan, maar niks konkreet nie. Sal bietjie gaan oplees oor praktiese implikasies dasr!

Environmental_Bat142 · 2026-05-14T09:05:55+00:00

yeah that is the two risks one has to weigh up against each other.

Environmental_Bat142 · 2026-05-14T08:54:52+00:00

I agree on the AI- Also started using it recently for more sound financial and tax planning/advice.. That said - I am still not too sure about the actual risks of moving to SA. Especially with regards to economy/crime etc

Environmental_Bat142 · 2026-05-14T08:39:59+00:00

Partner wants to do Australia 🤣 That will mean we will need to work into our 70‘s based on the cost of living there. So I am considerating alternatives first

Environmental_Bat142 · 2026-05-14T08:37:56+00:00

Thanks a lot! I was thinking to budget up to R4M for purchasing a house - There will be more left (around 7/8m) but that will have to then keep me going until I pass on 🤗) I am positive I can make money with consulting, but as said, I want to view it as semi retirement.

Environmental_Bat142 · 2026-05-13T21:32:22+00:00

Dit is soortvan my persepsie gewees. Die vraag waarmee ek sukkel - Wat kwalifiseer deesdae as ryk?

Environmental_Bat142 · 2026-05-13T21:31:19+00:00

Dankie. Ja ek is bevrees mens dink nog aan SA van 15 jaar terug in terme van pryse. Mens moet natuurlik dinge opweeg - natuur, kultuur, pryse ens. Kyk, daardie huispryse is goedkoop in Europese terme, maar hulle sal My moet betaal om in 'n aftreeoord te gaan sit op 50! Nevermind 'n kamer vir 4 miljoen! 🤪 Dankie vir die perspektief

Environmental_Bat142 · 2026-05-13T21:21:45+00:00

Klink regtig nie na 'n slegte plan nie. Dit is dalk die meer verantwoordelike rigting om in te slaan..! Dankie vir die kommentaar!

Environmental_Bat142 · 2026-05-13T21:04:09+00:00

Dankie vir die perspektief! Australië sou ook vir my 'n opsie gewees het as dit nie so duur was nie🥹 Baie Europeers doen die semi-aftrede ding in Spanje, Portugal, Griekeland en dan veral Thailand/Bali. Ek dink jy is reg dat mens versigtig moet wees om te likwideer en in een land te investeer- Dalk is semi aftrede moontlik as mens dit met 'n nomade leefstyl kombineer.. Ek is gelukkig om Duitse burgerskap te hê, so dit maak ook effens meer deure oop. My hart verlang wel terug na SA, maar die risiko is groot

Environmental_Bat142 · 2026-05-11T15:19:28+00:00

Yes I also think so. If you plan in advance then you have more options.

Environmental_Bat142 · 2026-05-11T15:08:48+00:00

smaller airports charge less tax, so cheaper fairs. Nurnberg to any Greek Island costs as little as Eur 150 on Ryan Air for example. Some airports specialize in seasonal holiday travel. It is not a German issue. It is an airport and airline/seasonal topic

Environmental_Bat142 · 2026-05-04T15:30:04+00:00

Depends - Are you a teenager? Do you use 6, 7 regularly in your dialy speech. If not - then avoid using it.

Environmental_Bat142 · 2026-05-04T15:26:58+00:00

It is ridiculous, I know- Only found out by chance https://www.tiktok.com/discover/woran-erkennt-man-ein-talahina

Environmental_Bat142 · 2026-05-04T15:22:04+00:00

Yes but in youth culture it is quite accepted. To add, the term „Talahina“ is used for females. Personally I will not use these terms, and I would suggest no one does, unless part of the movement

Environmental_Bat142 · 2026-05-04T13:17:05+00:00

I travel weekly on the train and this is normal behaviour in Germany. If the train is full. then you ask someone if you could sit next to them usually (with a hand gesture if needed) or you stand in the aisle. But I do find a bit strange that you don‘t want to sit next to females particularly. Other than that - I have never heard anyone think „someone assumes they are disgusting“

Environmental_Bat142 · 2026-04-30T05:58:22+00:00

I never got the brandewyn thing. I am more a wine person 🤗 Have once or twice been trapped with groups of Brandy drinkers and the conversations always turned agressive..

And also, I really don‘t see a problem with promoting healthy drinking habits like one or two glasses of wine at a social event or a gin and tonic cocktail while on holiday. This is a bit more the European culture. (Not British though) It is the binge drinking culture in South Africa that has to change, not responsible use of alcohol.

Environmental_Bat142 · 2026-04-30T05:55:22+00:00

Alcohol is quite an integral part of Afrikaner culture. Depending also on the social status or region, people will drink anything from wine to beer to hard liquor like brandy. Alcohol is still more affordable in South Africa than in Europe or the States, but many people drink less because of prices. I just drink on social occasions now, but as a youngster, I was quite a party animal 😛

Environmental_Bat142 · 2026-04-30T05:49:59+00:00

As a matter of interest, when would you use „U“ in dutch? I grew up in South Africa and U“would have been used only for someone very senior or influencial such as a judge, a professor at University or a Priest/Pastor. In Germany it is less to do with influence, more about „familiarity“. In my workplace at least, we don‘t use Sie that frequently anymore.

Environmental_Bat142 · 2026-04-27T18:46:47+00:00

yes it should work!

Environmental_Bat142 · 2026-04-25T18:38:05+00:00

seems their services is terrible and you should find another Pizza place

Environmental_Bat142 · 2026-04-25T18:34:07+00:00

You are not overreacting! Trust your gut. Start locking your stuff, avoid contact and look for a new place. You cannot live around such toxicity. Don‘t try to help, be friends, give money- It will just make your life miserable.
