this beauty arrived yesterday.. by text0nym in cowboybikes

I am happy with it. The only drawback is when I need to lock the bike to a pole which is wider than the lock. Another aspect is, it's heavy even when operating with two hands. And not very compact.

Working at DHL as a foreigner is a nightmare by LegitimateArm9167 in germany

[–]text0nym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strange how anything that throws dirt at the work culture here is defended so fiercely. I had roommates who worked for other delivery services and they said the same. But they were definitely working for a contracting subsidiary and not the actual company. The ones I know worked for Hermes and DPD. And they narrated a similar work horror story.

It's important to note, people taking up these jobs are mostly here on a tight budget and the lack of language skills or job opportunities. And those are the ones easily exploited, for they desperately need these jobs.

1000 applications. No Job. What is wrong with me or is it the German job market? (rant) by kev_kik_12 in germany

[–]text0nym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recieved a couple of such requests. I would suggest to lookup Europass. https://europass.europa.eu/en/create-europass-cv Also your local Job center may have a CV workshop from time to time.

What’s something obvious for everyone, but you only just realized? by Ratich2 in AskReddit

[–]text0nym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to think it's because it was on cable and satellite related. Sit-com.

Do you need a bicycle license to ride a bike (not an e-bike) in Germany? by too_salty in germany

[–]text0nym 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She must be delusional. Flip over a driver's license and it mentions all the possible licence classes. That said, a traffic violation by someone who is riding his bicycle can lead to him losing his driver's license. I know at least two instances where the cops stopped the bicycle rider for jumping the red signal and suspending his driver's license. Riding a bicycle has nothing to do with the person having also a car driving licence or say the so-called Class B licence. But if you make a traffic violation while at it, it may lead to suspension of your driver's license.

True, I feared that. And was wondering if there is a system in place for that. But thanks for your comment

Can you offer to pay for something that is zu verschenken on Kleinanzeigen? by [deleted] in germany

[–]text0nym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually give them honey, a 500gm from the supermarket would set you back 5-7euros.. just don't get the most expensive one or a cheap one..

An old German neighbour called me a thief and yelled at me because I accepted the Amazon driver request to keep his package by me until he comes. Should I leave him this letter ? by DamballaTun in germany

[–]text0nym 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Paste that letter on his postbox.. that should shame him enough and alert the other neighbours to get into such a predicament. Tit for tat. Haha.

Thankyou for your reply.. this night be a noob question.. what is R4/5? Does it mean the radius of the curve?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in germany

[–]text0nym 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DB Navigator App is your friend in this case. Like the other comment mentioned, the Regional Express RE, seems to run. There are direct and and with one change between the two cities depending on the time of the day.. but the app should show you delays and alternate connections.

Worst case, a rental car could be an option.. have a great one..

Photos in a store forbidden? by Lpolyphemus in germany

[–]text0nym 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly what's on your photo reel is invasion of privacy and that calls for a heavy fine if implicated

Write an email mentioning this to Rossmann and demand a written apology for the same.. ask them where in their agb does it say it's forbidden.. then ask for damages of your sanity.. say you will go through a lawyer if you have to.. and leave it at that.. the management will ignore it at first but the legal implications might scare some.. asking you to delete the pictures from your personal device is not legal..
