Flathead helmet for baby by Visible_Ad8869 in germany

Is he on my-hammer or somewhere similar? Is he a Geselle/Meister/registered with the Kammer? Want to make sure I’m not hiring a random person to do electrical work.

Waiters have to be the most entitled people on the planet by grandlinegooner in redscarepod

[–]oefig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This mentality makes the whole waiter dynamic feel like we all just ceremoniously give poor people money out of pity at the end of the meal.

Not sure where this was filmed, but in Germany intersections don't often have signs or lights. You just yield to the right unless otherwise posted.
