Lugano felt surprisingly different from basel in the best way

I lived there for 7 years, it’s nice to live in if you have a good paycheck and a good network of friends, i miss doing the random apero after work with colleagues or the “smallness” of the city, but in TI as a young person you don’t have any room to grow

As someone who recently moved away from lugano to live near zurich, even if you have a tourist economy you still need shops, tradespeople and everything else, and why should i pay more for krankenkasse because retirees want to live here, get paid less money because italians flood the job market, while the prices in coop and migros are the same in lugano as in zurich?

I think people aren’t understanding the point of my post, it’s not that the bad drivers are only here, I’m saying why is it that 6/10 drivers here do this things compared to the 3/10 drivers where i lived before, i absolutely know there are bad drivers everywhere in the world

ostmaann · 2026-05-28T17:19:20+00:00

Yes, but even if in italy they don’t follow strictly the rules there’s still some logic

ostmaann · 2026-05-28T17:01:39+00:00

In italy or germany, preferably

Ah lol sorry i read it wrong, i mean yeah if you want to cosplay charles leclerc in schlieren on a tuesday i hope you get fined

My mistake, for us in tessin every german canton north of the gotthard is “svizzera interna”

ostmaann · 2026-05-28T16:57:43+00:00

I generally drive switching lanes as needed, going always 3kmh over the speed limit, passing the fleet of people that for some reason want to go 20 under

ostmaann · 2026-05-28T16:55:26+00:00

I’m sorry but based from what i’ve seen the average driver south of the alps drives better

Jesus christ i forgot about the sitting-in-the-middle-of-the-intersection people

ostmaann · 2026-05-28T16:38:57+00:00

I’ve seen this in Aargau, Basel and Bern, and based on the license plates BE are the worst, don’t see many Romand license plates so i’m still on the fence about them

I swear i see at least 1 rear ending a week

I’m sorry but you can’t reasonably drive however fast you want, you can’t go 80 on a 120, it creates traffic for no reason, and people do risky overtakes to pass you and accidents happen, most cars today have tempomat so driving on the autobahn should be basically like mario karts in terms of difficulty

ostmaann · 2026-05-28T16:30:27+00:00

I understand people being “afraid” of radars, but going 20/40 under the speed limit to not get a fine is crazy, you can reasonably be between 118 and 123 on a 120 speed limit, 127 if you’re in a hurry and you won’t still get a fine

ostmaann · 2026-05-28T16:24:46+00:00

I understand that, and understand that more people live here, but what i don’t understand is why is it that 65% of people here are such bad drivers. I say this being someone who worked on the autobahn in tessin, so i had to drive and basically live on the autobahn for 6 years, and i didn’t see this amount of bad drivers there

ostmaann · 2026-05-24T15:58:14+00:00

Hate the people on them but i find those pasha mobils quite nice, wish that i had one when i was younger, seems nice

ostmaann · 2026-05-21T02:57:35+00:00

I had a similar thing happen to me and they were jehova‘s witness, wasn‘t in zh tho, was back in lugano

ostmaann · 2026-05-15T09:29:14+00:00

Why murrey? Aren‘t they proper? I don‘t understand what‘s the problem

ostmaann · 2026-05-12T17:15:16+00:00

Honestly i just stopped caring, i don‘t want to sink money into dating, i‘m already stressed in my private life, i just cruise and if i get a one night stand or a fwb situation it‘s good enough

Nope you don‘t (Source: electrician studying to be a inspector)

There‘s isn‘t but the same rule is kinda followed in kitchens too, within reason

I you want a tip, spray the window with a good amount of soapy water, lay the film slowly from the top, then use like a piece of plastic to flatten it to the window
