- PfizerJaa 2mo agoWhat kind of person comes to an English speaking forum, drops a quote in a foreign language without any translation and pretends to not get called out?
- OKRainbowKid 2mo agoWhat kind of person new to a community (account created today) tries to police more established members of that community in their very first comment?

- scotty79 1mo agoWhat kind of a person complains in the comment instead of highlighting the text he doesn't understand, right-clicking and selecting "translate"?
- Anamon 1mo agoI love that. It's part of what's hilariously called the "Beamtendreisatz" (roughly, the three rules of public servants) 1. Das haben wir schon immer so gemacht (that's how we've always done it) 2. Das haben wir noch nie so gemacht (we have never done it like that) 3. Da könnte ja jeder kommen (then everyone would try it) They're so German that they're very difficult to faithfully translate. Just imagine a grumpy older guy looking for every excuse not to do what you want him to.
