I see touch parking here in Munich all the time, and most of the time it's the chicks doing it. Most blokes know where their car starts and finishes, girls seem to have no clue, and could care less, "cos that's what bumpers a for"

. Of course there's bound to be some who are crap at it, and of course on TT people just love tarring everybody with the same brush, but this is just rubbish!

we watch the parking lot out front of the building for kicks! and we see this all the time! And that is in Munich, best day is Thursday, when the market is there on Rosenkavalierpl... less spots for parking makes for some interesting parking jobs and stau.

No, it's because guys keep saying 6 inches is 9 inches - kind of throws the depth perception out the window tongue.gif

...when you catch yourself looking for somewhere to "tank" your car.

...when you can laugh along at the Turks and their Kebabs "mit viel Scharf", but see nothing wrong with the phrase "Ue30 party - mit Flirt".

You find the need to say things that are very obvious..

Like when the crossing lights (you also use ampel) turn green and you feel the need to tell the people you are with to "go now".

You know you are not german when you think "Mr/Mrs obvious does it again"

You are turning German if you drink so much and leave your car at the pack place, as you don't want your Drivers licence to be withdrawn.
When you Drink so much and the hair on your head is waving live the wind in the Netherlands.

You know you are turning German if you think killing babies and putting them in the fridge is an accepted means of birth control.
So, don't be surprised if you get a visit from your local police after you bought a large fridge!
