You know you're turning German when...

[PiePiper 1]

I've never seen this anywhere else and the sirens aren't that loud, are they? I've always put this down to the local's paranoia about things that may harm them (on this subject I've heard some amazing stories...).

[Jeeves 41]

It's an interesting observation and you could be right (maybe I've just been here too long) but I do find the sirens here LOUD. And I live right next to a hospital so I'm used to them!

Anything that makes you realize that maybe you have been here too long.

When I see this same topic come up for the hundredth time on TT?

You write something in German without consulting a dictionary and find that you have made not one spelling mistake.

There's this, for a start: You know you've been in Bavaria too long when...

[Punchbear 1,024]

When that little frisson of frustration with the monthly/weekly ticket that pops out of the MVV machine STILL has the superfluous centimeter of paper foreskin on the right-hand side, that bit with the little scissors icon, forcing you to grind your teeth involuntarily and think "Why are they still doing that?", as you rip it off for the 7 millionth Sunday evening/Monday morning/first/last day of the month in a row.

[Jimbo 1,269]

Or you spend hours considering how much better off you'd be if you'd not ever bought a ticket because you've only had yours checked once in four years...

You change a statement into a question by adding an "or" on the end: We're not going to be able to play today because of the weather, or?

'Paprika' becomes your favourite flavour of crisp!

Or if you dye your hair that 'red' colour! :D

[Eleanor Rigby 1,934]

Blasphemer!

...Also, if you begin to dislike the notion of fun then you can honestly say I am German.

What is fun?

Yopu are becoming German if you go to the UK on holiday and spend days searching until you find a flight The fact that you have to drive halfway to the UK to get to the airport doesn't matter because the flight was £5 cheaper. And when you get to the UK you annoy everyone saying 'it's soooo expensive here'.

'Paprika' becomes your favourite flavour of crisp!

Also when you prefer peanut flavoured whatsits to the traditional cheese flavour. I can't imagine why a crisp snack should be peanut flavoured. Why don't you just eat peanuts?

[Eleanor Rigby 1,934]

In defence of the Germans at least the flips actually taste like peanuts, those neon orange wotsits (cheesy puffs) don't taste like anything that remotely resembles cheese or anything food-like for that matter.

Doesn't stop me from loving them though. I can't wait until my business trip to the US next week so I can bring back mountains of the styrofoamish treat.

You go to October fest actually dressed the way they do.

I love cheesy poofs

You love cheesy poofs

If we didn't have cheesy poofs

We'd be lame!

More the fact that one sings the Wiesn songs knowing all the words - with friends visiting from overseas giving you 'WTF' looks...

neon orange wotsits (cheesy puffs)

I saw a TV program and they lit one of the British puffs and it burnt rather nicely on its own. (a demonstation of the fat content). Try the same experiment with an American one to test the quality.

[Eleanor Rigby 1,934]

The question is "can man survive on cheesy puffs alone?"

I will have an answer to that question in 2 weeks time.

[the vicar 152]

A truly worthwhile experiment.

BTW. If your family needs any help with funeral arrangements I can give them a discount.
