Oh hell no! The two years that i lived in west germany were wonderful. I claim to say that they have been the best parts of my life. Yes i found that at times we were being disrespectful by being loud and obnoxious., but in my defense, i blame it on their beer!

I would fit right in. ☺️

Feels like a country full of Arthurs, count me in.

I have a rude face. I’d fit in perfectly in Germany

For the most part, I would prefer directness and such over passive aggressiveness and massive shit talk when you're not around like we do in America baby!

I've read a couple of times that in Walmarts in Germany, employees were instructed to smile at, greet, be nice to, etc. customers, and Germans didn't like it because it seemed so fake, or they mistook the employees' smiles, etc. as them coming onto them.

Regarding Americans' loud voices, I think that's more of an American thing than low voices is a particularly German thing. My then-girlfriend visited me here in the US from Norway in 2006, and she said Americans all spoke really loud, or at least American guys did, as if to impose their manliness or whatever.
