  • I was stationed in Germany for three years, about 30 years ago and the friendliness of the German people was incredible. I was a Us soldier so you think that areas around the military bases would have been sick of dealing with the bullshit that GIs bring. No everywhere I went, the Germans were hospitable and really helpful.

    Even stuff like getting my car repaired, the German repair shops were great. I absolutely loved living in Germany.



  • When I was in college I was on my way to class and it started raining really heavy. So I decide to sit it out in a coffee shop. I got my coffee and sat down in a chair that let me see the street. I will never forget watching this play out.

    I noticed a guy maybe a half a block away with an umbrella hail a cab. I dont even know why I noticed him, he caught my eye and I watched the cab move towards me and pretty much right outside the window of the coffee shop the cab stopped.

    I then I noticed a women with a baby carriage. The cab stopped the back passenger door opened and she started to get herself and the kid/carriage into the cab.

    Then I noticed that the guy who had originally gotten the cab had got out of the cab on the driver side back door and was in the process of hailing another cab.

    The dude got a cab in a rain storm, must have noticed that women and the kid, told the cab to pull over and gave her the cab.
