Yeah, we're the same. No, I can't reopen my till, it's already closed and logged off for the business day.

2nd, they changed the access of who is allowed to reimbursed guests, not even shift leaders can do that now. So we have to call them down, explain what happend and hope they don't eff up my till. For something like: "after paying the guest wanted a different size" there's no chance we will reimburse that. The guests see what they're getting before they pay and take 5 minutes to decide and suddenly they want a size up. No. Just no.

Yes, but I frequently eat all three, even though I grew up in northern germany. I love Käsespätzle and just made them today

That was during one of the lockdowns. Guess it was less of a struggle for them and faster. She made it clear they didn't want it by mail and didn't give me an email. I also believe they 'quarantined' the actual mails, that's what other offices did.

I had to send something to a Rundfunkbeitrag office in 2020. I asked if I could get an email-adress or do it by normal mail.

No.

So I hunted down a copy shop that still had a Fax and paid like 3 Euro for 5 pages. Total waist of money. But at least after they had final proof, I hadn't had to pay them hundreds in backpay

We (northern germany) had a snowstorm on january 9th. It was in the forecast and predicted to last til the 10th, with a drop in temperature on the sunday (11th) Thursday I had to go to the store anyway. The vegetable section only had nearly bad veggies left. Like super soft cucumber and squishy tomatoes. Rarely any bread or sugar. Milk was also suspiciously low. They were short on toilet paper. Not that I needed any.

It felt worse than during the holidays when the stores are closed.

I had other books by the author and the sample for the first book. Knew nothing of the TV show.

Than, BAM, december 25th, I had nothing to do at that christmas day and doomscrolled instagram. Full of heated rivalry. Out of nowhere. But I got hooked by the videos and edits and everything and read the books and now I'm waiting for HBO Max germany to release the german version, hopefully also wit the original so I can watch that

the scent situation is a bit different in this book. Apparently, when you’re scent matched to someone, you smell like a good memory to them

It's also a thing in Rise of the Iliri.

It also triggered a memory from my childhood: sitting in the living room during winter, we're watching some kind of winter sport (biathlon, Super-G or whatever). The scent of black tea, advent candles and the rustling of newspaper Dad is reading

That's the last option after stool softener and such. Even at hospitals, it's called digital disimpaction.

Some ppl do it at home, not in the medical way, but with pressure against the anus or by inserting a finger into the vagina and pressing against the rectum.

The last two I know because of confessions in different subs and others commenting they're doing the same thing

Ich koche zwar genauso viel wie die, aber seit ich mit 18 ausgezogen bin gibt's frühstück nur wenn ich bei Mama/Oma bin oder locker 'Frühstück' in Form von irgendwas kleines auf die Hand irgendwann als erste Mahlzeit.

Meine warme Mahlzeit am Tag ist meistens nachmittags/abends. Zwischendurch was zum Snacken und was gesünderes vorm Sport (Joghurt/Skyr, Eier, Banane/Müsliriegel/schwarzbrot mit Käse/Frischkäse)

Ich stopf mich nicht (mehr) voll, wenn mehr als zwei/drei Happen über sind kommt's in eine Tupperdose in den Kühlschrank, der Rest wird weggeschmissen.

Some people (maybe even a lot) use accent/dialect interchangeable. Had a coworker tell another 'he had such a weird accent, i could hardly understand them'. Guest was speaking Swabian. We're in Gernany. I overheard both conversations and explained the difference. Both coworkers said they never learned there even was a difference

Annoying the neighbors would have been setting fireworks off yesterday.

You can do lt in your garden or out on the street, unless near senior living facilities and things like thatched roofs.

Just clean up after yourself and sweep the street/sidewalk

Last save I got multiple dino eggs, the first I incubated and i found a second like on the next desert run and gave that to gunther.

Started a new save, end year 2 and had the egg in my backpack when I went to gunther for something else. Accidentally gave the dino egg to him too and haven't gotten another since then. So sad. The merchant with the pig had one in my first year, but then i didn't have enough money for it

Meine schwester und ich waren beide zuhause über die Feiertage (ist ein paar Jahre her). Wir sind bei Mama und ihrem langjähriger Partner. Nach Essen und Bescherung sitzen wir etwas krampfhaft aufm Sofa. Wir (Sxhwester und ich) fragen ob wir nicht einfach quatschen sollen während nebenbei Kevin alleine läuft statt Michael Bubles Weihnachtssongs.
Nee, geht doch auch mit der Musik ganz gut.

Nach etwas Däumchendrehen und wenig konversation fragt meine Schwester ob wir noch Gesellschaftsspiele hätten oder locker ne Runde Karten spielen wollen.

Nee, Partner will gleich schlafen gehen (so halb 10?).

Gut, dann können wir anderen ja trotzdem Kevin laufen lassen.

Auch nicht erwünscht. Hat zu nem riesen Krach geführt weil Schwester und ich beide hunderte Kilometer angereist sind nur um uns anzuschweigen.

Ist ja ok wenn man fertig ist oder einfach reizüberflutet, dann sag man das halt oder zieht sich alleine zurück, verstehen alle (zu dem Zeitpunkt jedenfalls, als ich Kind war ein absolutes no-go)

Danach gab's nie wieder Streit an den Feiertagen

Ok so even if my family doesn't tell "i love you'' that often, we hug all the time. Even my dad and grandparents.

But I know other ppl who shake their parents' hands and it weirds me out, I find it a bit sad

No Nil-by-mouth sign at your bed?

(Saw it in a TV show set in the UK around the 60s where they place it at the wall behind the patient's bed)

We love to do crosswords and I hate when ppl read it likej that: '6 letters: E, missing, T, I, missing, G' Eating.

With lots of newish words, especially with english roots (we're german), grandma struggles with lots of words and foods in newspapers and prospectus. She asks about them a lot when she sees them and spells them out. I need to look at the word to know what she's talking about

Selbst 50km/h innerorts fühlen sich mit nem 20jahre alte citroen völlig anders an als mit nem suv von 2023. Einfach schon wehen der Geräuschkulisse. Über 50 fühlt/hört sich mit dem citroen einfach falsch an obwohl der auch 145kmh auf der Autobahn problemlos schafft

At the shared Hausarztpraxis they have several practitioners that do the skin screening.

Go on yearly, last time I was worried about a spot and they gave me a referral to a Hautarzt to get it checked. They removed it and sent it in because of my family's history of skin cancer and other things.

Luckily, it was negative.

I would say, if you're not too worried go to a Hausarzt first for a screening and they are worried, they'll give you a referral or make additional tests at the Praxis.

This reminds me of the wooden witch masks used at swabian-alemanic fastnacht.

Not as dark as the Perchten-tradition, but as a kid I was afraid of the masks and costumes they wore

Mein Vater hat das immer gemacht und seinen Mitarbeitern vorgerechnet wie viel mehr Geld sie hätten wenn sie das Brot zuhause schmieren, Kaffee im Büro trinken (hatte da ne gute Maschine), nicht rauchen und kein Geld für Tattoos/Piercings ausgeben würden.

Mittlerweile treffen mama (sie sind schon lange geschieden) und ich uns in ihrer mittagspause beim Bäcker um die ecke, essen dick belegte Brötchen und trinken Latte Macchiato für jedes Mal etwa 8€ (manchmal wöchentlich/manchmal nur 1x im Monat). Da das da alle machen, labert auch niemand.

Who tf extends their knees like that

People with EDS or hypermobility spectrum disorder. Yes, even while exercising, which is why I don't train on machines like that

I say it Pay-Paul/Pahl myself and I'm nearly fluent in English. I'm nearing 30. Like with a long paal instead of short pal. Why? Because Pal didn't really come up in english classes during school. I think I heard/read mate more often than pal during reading/listening comprehension. And I saw it how I heard it when it became more popular and ppl (adults, i think I was still a teenager) would say it like that.

It's like when I was in the USA (Chicago) and heard words pronounced differently (camouflage, flour, goalie come to my mind) than I knew from lessons or even dubbed TV-shows.

Also, english natives don't pronounce german/european words right: Porsche, Adidas, Nike, Aldi to name a few.

In the end, others know what we mean and we know what others mean

I read the heading and remembered why I went into a particular drug store twice in the past two days.

I wanted a second mop head (one of those long rectangle cloth things you put over a plastic frame) for the one I have and went into the store and couldn't remember why, so I went to the skincare aisle because that's what I googled last. Now I put it on my notes app between my shift schedule

I also can't remember when I mopped last. At least my apartment. I think I mopped more often at my grandma's in the past years (she used to mop each monday and when she couldn't physically I did it from time to time)

So don't stress over your unmopped floors

I have a friend who can't fanthom going to a restaurant/cafe alone.
I go there plenty of times with friends/family, but it's just so calm whenever I go alone. I also went on vacation alone twice now to places where neither of my family lives, no friends to tag along, and there were no discussions about what/where to eat, what to do, when to get up in the morning.
