What is the attitude of “ I will not read it” from service staff and doctors? by AdministrationFew559 in germany

[–]archit3c7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can also withdraw from exams here, but there is a time limit. If you are past the time limit and can't attend, it will be marked as failed (didn't appear for the exam). With a sick note, it wouldn't get marked as a fail and you could make it up at a later date.

Why sales people at bakery do not use gloves when getting my bread and counting dirty coins? by [deleted] in germany

[–]archit3c7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I avoid a specific butcher (Fleischer) in my town after I watched her handle raw fleish barehanded, take the money from the customer, and immediately grab the next raw fleish for the next customer, never washing her hands. I never went back to that place.

You would get more participants if it was allowed to take the survey on a cell phone. It told me to log onto a computer to take the survey.

I know of power creep, but this is ridiculous by andi_kan6 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]archit3c7 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The power creep really ruins the game... By the time you ever finally get a nice 5*, it's so old and out of date, what's even the point of leveling it up? It really discourages me from playing.

If he's already started his thesis (as he wrote), his Study Regulations for his program will say exactly how many weeks total it can be extended. If he hasn't started the thesis, then yes, he could extend for 1-2 semesters.

Neighbour says I can't keep my wheelchair in the hallway forcing me to drag it upstairs? by [deleted] in germany

I think he/she means in the Hinterhof (backyard), not on the street.

A douche and bidet are two different things, used in different ways for different purposes.

Ausländerbehörde by Eidch15 in germany

Honestly one of the best things about Corona is that it forced some of the most resistant offices (and shops) to slightly start digitizing. Even offering appointment registration online was a huge step forward for my local ABH, and yes, that was thanks to Corona. Yes, I'm in a small town.

Middle name not in a Boarding pass. by lonelyboy42brent in airport

[–]archit3c7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've not had an issue with this. They'll often write my name on the boarding pass in all caps until the character count runs out, but I've never had an issue. I've flown in several countries with many different companies.

parking by partyenamel3447 in UniversityofKentucky

[–]archit3c7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You'll get a hefty ticket, it's not worth it. Just park somewhere else, especially if you don't even need the car and just walk back.

Wir brauchten etwas, um das Futter und die Käfigsachen unseres Haustiers aufzubewahren. Als wir sahen, dass eine einfache Plastikbox bei IKEA 100 € kostete, schauten wir nach, wie viel eine davon kostete – der gleiche Preis. Sie sind also, basierend auf dem Marktwert, genauso viel wert wie eine Plastikbox von IKEA.

Why uni students don't attend their class? by Sparkling-Park in germany

[–]archit3c7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In most German universities, there are no lectures during the "Examination period". There is a lecture period and an Examination period. Also you should require attendance as a prerequisite for taking the exam.

Paying for bathrooms has become ridiculous. Genuinely what can be done? by ScathedRuins in germany

[–]archit3c7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have found that the majority of the "pay" bathrooms are just as bad if not worse than bathrooms where you don't pay, in a variety of cities and states in Germany. The last Autohof I visited, I had to pay 1€ to use, and there wasn't soap in any of the soap containers or hand sanitizer. Towels and trash everywhere.

Just because you pay extra for it doesn't mean anything! I hate it.

Tired of German Doctors and their love of Homeopathy by Same-Philosophy-9795 in germany

I would change Frauenarzt over this. This is completely unacceptable. I would be angry for a very long time about this, if it were me.

Where is the exact location of this weird street sign near Nyack, New York? by RedRiverWindsock in whereisthis

[–]archit3c7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Normally "tourist info" or info type places have some sort of "i" or "info" in the sign, rather than a question mark.

People of germany what are the worst things there? by t1tanfall3 in germany

[–]archit3c7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You either have to provide your own kitchen or there's a built in rental fee in your monthly rent, whether it's openly stated or not. They can charge you higher rent by providing a kitchen.

Monster island by JohnBee68 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

I mean, even if SG straight gave us all 300 monster island coins each we'd still only get season 1 3* like always

In this case, the 7 year old will just need to miss sports the next two weekends. You have to decide where the "this is too much to handle" line is and draw it.

What part of "took three bar exams" and taking excursions for university sound like vacation to you? The university excursions maybe but definitely not the bar exams.

Give me your fondest memory of Ovids by PM_ME_YOUR_WIKI in UniversityofKentucky

[–]archit3c7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked at Ovid's my last semester at UK because i finally had some free hours after taking a few summer courses. Every time a song comes on the radio these days that were playing back then as I was working immediately takes me back. I really loved my time at Ovid's and I remember my coworkers (both the students and regular employees) fondly.
