  Short story: told a bus driver (after i was already off the bus and the bus was not in service) to go f-himself after he claimed i could no longer take the bus because he didn't like the fact that my dog lost dog hair.    Longer story:  After exiting the bus on the last stop the bus driver bid me come back on the bus and showed me dog hair on the seat.  I told him this is unfortuante but my dog does shed - and there is no law against having a dog who sheds.  This is normal.  He said it is not OK to have on his bus.  I told him he is the bus driver only and does not make the rules of what is acceptable.  DB allows dogs - even those that shed.  What does he think he is - the king of bavaria - making his own rules?  Upon this he said he would call the police.  I was like - for what?? I'll call e police myself.  Then while walking away from the bus i exclaimed he's a f'a**_h___.    3 months later i get a letter from the police simply saying how i would liek to respond to a complaint of 'beleidigung 185'    ------   I can't even believe the police department bothers itself with this kind of stuff.  Surely they have better stuff to do?    Regardless, now i'm wondering how serious I should take this and whether i should get a lawyer or just see what happens.    For you that are going to flame me: keep in mind i have to take the bus to munich for work with my dog and it was totally NOT acceptable for him to think he can block my transit route because a few pieces of hair were too much for him.  I've taken buses for years with my dog here and never had issues.    Would mainly be interested in any legal opinions on this for those that have some experience in that area.    Merry Christmas!

yes i pretty much replied to their mail request and said : "I deny this charge" and left it at that 

For posterity this is how this Beleidigung case ended:    The police dropped the case because it was frivolous. (I.e it was "eingestellt" as they put it)   For those wondering how the bus driver was able to get my name it is because I filed a formal complaint against DB and the community because of his behaviour.  He responded by claiming I insulted him and tried to pretend that he had the same standing as an actual public official (i.e judge, police officer, or significant city official for which being disrespectful could net you a hefty fine).    To all the negativity this thread got from those who would think you should rather 'accept' disrespectful attitude because of the consequences -> you forget that you are living in a country that has FREE SPEECH laws.  For those that do not speak their mind because they are worried their free speech rights will disappear and be criminalised...this is not the way to live life. Moreover, such actions encourage further disrespectful behavior by those who do it because most people unfortunately do not speak up.             

op:   1. dog was NOT on the seat people. so shut up =)    2. for everyone saying "oh just say sorry etc" - you are spineless.  As one person said - a pregnant woman got kicked off because a bus driver went apeshit and nobody said SHIT. thats you.  thats f'n you.  you coward.    Have a f'n backbone and take the beleidigung    In bavaria there are so  many a**hles and they are getting away with inappropriate behavior because YOU all dont have balls.
