Chemical in my eye, two ERs, zero eye doctors. This is what I get for paying insurance every month?
Around 9 PM I was cleaning mold, slipped, and cleaner (bleach-based) splashed into my eye. I rinsed it and read the label. It said get medical help immediately. Everything I looked up said chemical in the eye can mean permanent damage, even losing vision. I didn't call an ambulance because I felt okay, just burning and irritation, but I wanted someone qualified to LOOK at it. First ER: "We have no eye doctor." In an EMERGENCY ROOM. I asked them to just take a look. Anyone. A nurse, a general do
No wonder I cant make friends with Germans. FML.
I recently moved to a new city for work. I lived in a 5er "Zweck" WG and we don't have any say on who moves in/out. This WG was so dirty and untidy, that I would rather spend more time at the office. I stopped cooking and even eventually going to the toilet, unless really necessary. I found a new WG and was in the process of moving out. A new Tennant moved in into the next room. The day she moved in, I told her how the WG situation actually is. After that we would hang around in the kitchen com

Do jobs in Germany require people to share a room when they travel for seminars?
My boyfriend had a multiple days seminar with Sparkasse in another city. He said his coworker who's married signed up for the room as well so he could have it alone when she'd go back home to her husband and child, so he wouldn't have to share with anyone. Today i noticed when we had a videocall that the second bed was unmade and he said his married friend (woman) stayed there on Monday after lunch for a nap. I think its weird that the bed was unmade for so many days and also that he didn't me
Landlord kicked everyone in a WG out and is now refusing to give us back the Kaution, what can we do?
hey, basically we had a really toxic landlord who, firstly, was really rude to us all the time. Fast forward in june 2026 i decided to just move out and he said he'll take our Kaution because we broke the bed. We showed him that even in his listing that part of the bed was broken (It wasnt much at all so we didn't care, also the kaution is 1000 euros and his bed cant be worth more than 100). Even when when i said that i ll just buy you a new bed myself he said no now i will take your Kaution. To
Anyone in germany also struggling to find their first job?
I just graduated in renewable energy engineering, and i have no experience whatsoever working, mainly because my german wasnt really good, but i learned german and can speak between B2 and C1. Still yet im getting straight rejections anywhere i apply, even for junior or graduate programs, not to mention i graduated with a 1.5 from my uni. Is anyone having the same problem? Whether experienced or not. I just want to know if the war situation and china has impacted the market or is this normal.

What about living in Hessen for 'the rest of our lives'?
My wife and I, both 61, Dutch and living in The Netherlands, just retired and we want to sell our house and leave our crowded country. Preferably we want to live in an EU country which is not too hot (Spain), not too wet (again, Spain) and not too cold in the winter (Austria f.i). Thus we have been thinking about moving to Germany for a few years now (nice people in most part of this big country). Last weekend I had a party in Coburg and my friends and I drove all the way to South Germany. Quit
WMF is a letdown
DISCLAIMER: This post is based on my own personal experiences. I don't aim to slander our ruin the reputation of a brand. When we first moved to Germany, we were rather on a tight budget and buying stuff always prioritizing the economy side of things. So when it came to kitchen appliances (water boiler, toaster etc), we bought the cheap stuff or used the old things we brought along. Then, as we got better jobs and eventually got a bit more established, we started replacing some stuff with ren
Antisemitic and far-right in Essen-Steele — has anyone else noticed this?
I’m currently in Essen-Steele and honestly shocked by how many openly antisemitic and far-right stickers are around. Some say “Antisemite on principle,” while others feature what looks like a Hitler-style smiley, complete with his distinctive moustache and hairstyle. There are loads at the tram/bus stop and scattered around the surrounding area. It’s disturbing to see this displayed so openly in public. Has anyone else noticed it? Is this common around here, or is it a recent development? Have
Restaurant server demanded a tip - what to do now?
I went to the Block House in Köln for dinner this weekend. It was a good experience right up until it was time to pay. We paid with a credit card and when he put the terminal on the table he told us that "Tip is not included." I've been visiting Germany for more than 35 years I knew that was not true. Because we had a nice meal and good service so I rounded up the bill and added 2 Euro. Apparently this wasn't good enough for the server. After he looked at the screen and read the tip a
PSA: tomorrow is Reunification Day, a public holiday, finish your shopping today.
Please don't be like me when I came to Germany. Totally uninformed and I had to survive on crackers.
Germans were so genuinely kind, always willing to be helpful. Other tourists I talked to agreed. Why do people say otherwise?
(pic as proof I went 😂) Hi there, I did a lot of research before going over there, regarding the culture and customs, so as not to be accidentally rude. During that research, I saw so much about how Germans are so rude and stern. I never looked for that, there was just so much of it on anything related to behavior or experience of tourists. I'm extremely confused. I was there almost 3 weeks. First Berlin, then took an ice train to Munich for the other half. Did touristy things, and also no
