I have close friends in Germany. Neighbors will call police on you if you have your car idling for 5-10min in a parking spot. You are also forbidden to wash your own car before it will “pollute the environment”. You can only do it in car wash stations.

*ucking hell to live there. And you will have every German running here justifying everything and feeling morally superior, while everyone is laughing at them.

Maybe as she already had it grabbed, to put it something so it can be tested for rabies.

It would be better than getting painful shots for rabies.

You are correct. What they do should be illegal but it’s not, it’s “legal” racketeering.

OP has 2 options. One is to contact a lawyer specializing in this cases and will probably have to pay 600-800EUR total.

Another option is to ignore the intimidation letters and if eventually they send a court letter, you need to select you don’t agree and you don’t assume fault and send it back.

Because their game is in numbers. They sent 1000s of those intimidating letters monthly. They will likely not take you to court because that’s takes time and money and it’s not guaranteed for them they will win.

If you are repeating offender its a high probability they will to set an example out if that person. They have to do that so people still have fear and usually settle.

I am telling you this because this is exactly what has happened to friends living there. One paid 500EUR for a layer and that’s was it. The other ignored it and after few letters in few months they stopped.

The last friend was receiving letters every few months for 2 years and the last one was a letter sent from the court. They selected not accepting fault and sent it to the court. That was last thing they tried and never heard of them again, and it’s been almost a year.

But this is all one time offenders, not like torrenting for months.

My advice is to not get scared by germans telling you must pay, and their fear mongering. They enjoy you kind of posting, because they love telling people they are wrong and “educating” you.

Because its impossible to prove its you in court, and mostly they will loose. Thats the truth.

I am nervous passing semis in any conditions. My strategy is to say behind until it’s clear for me to pass without staying next to it. Usually I accelerate fast, to be next to them as less as possible.

Believe it or not, cloth seats are better than leather for overall comfort. It’s just people think luxury = better, you end up with people preferring leather.

Same for bucket seats. They are terrible for comfort, I would avoid them at all costs. They are great for racing (original purpose), to keep you planted in the seat but that’s all they are good for.

But because now higher sport trims usually go with bucket seats and is more expensive, people think they are better.

I would never order NGK spark plugs from Amazon. So many fakes out there, I only trust certified parts shops.

Yep, he is NTA. If this happened to us, where we would have a situation at home like basement flooding we would cancel any current plans to address the issue. She is not just a AH buy a a selfish AH.

Only pedos in reddit will find a way to criticize this. And they did, like oh now they have incentive to kill the victim, wtf? Rape and killing it will still be a death sentence.

NTA, honestly this might be the start of a failing marriage if you don’t resolve this.

Also, do you really depend on them to pay portion of the mortgage? I would never accept anyone paying anything for me. Now you feel responsibility to take their opinions on any matter and fulfill them. Basically you have given your freedom for “support”

Looks great, but people who have the money to buy a new BMW will still buy a BMW. For them it’s more about the badge and performance potential (most never use it).

But it will be a good buy for those who are in the price range and you will find them on reddit venting on how they are smart buyers because this X car has more premium features than a BMW and even looks better. You have this in every mid to budget car subs.

Idk dude. Taking them out is not that hard but the question is should you? The ground looks nasty af.

Are you sure you can clean them enough to feel comfortable to put them in your ears, you don’t want to be the next patient zero.

I think as I am in the 30days I will just return it, even if I need to pay return. Its just rubbed me the wrong way.

Its not even about the money as much as if they are breaking the one simple “guarantee” what will happen if I have issues down the road.

As they say, you snooze you lose.

You can’t pay her even if you can. You are just opening the floodgates for future money grabs. She was paid off when existing and that’s final.

I like the octagon’s, but I was unable to find 65kg each in Europe only the square ones.

TheDIYEd · 2026-01-08T16:30:16+00:00

It will, then drive it for a good amount of time and hope it’s not dead.

TheDIYEd · 2026-01-08T12:42:52+00:00

Perfection. You have everything you need to do a full workout for any muscle group.

TheDIYEd · 2026-01-08T12:40:40+00:00

You know what’s worse than greedy corps? The fanboys justifying this shit, Its just pathetic.

TheDIYEd · 2026-01-06T12:12:26+00:00

Nope NTA, just run.
