At school :(. Wait do people actually spit between their shoes? I would think it would make more sense to spit to the side or something right? It boggles my mind!!
grrr I HATE spitting! usually scum that do it and football players lol! In edinburgh I had to use a bus a few times that had a lot of scum on it and one guy spat in the bus drivers face...nice! Lol the image of spitting between gucci shoes...that's art that is! Ooh, not good with the beer and your reputation ;o) The woman you met has bad self harm problems and is likely a very sad soul.
Yeah, I figured as much about the woman with the multiple cuts, but what could I have done? Is there anything? I smiled at her and tried not to stare at her scars. Is that worth anything?
In one word, YUK!! That is (the spitting)just so weird, and at first when you were talking about it I thought you probably meant the guys, but obviously there is "no sex discrimination" at all here, LOL!!
Makes me think about the era in the U.S. when spitting was almost an acceptable thing-- late 1800's, where brass spittoons (more gracious term was "cuspidor") were absolutely everywhere- in banks, hotels, along streets, train stations (ON the trains too!), even RESTAURANTS (yuk), so when someone wanted to haak one out there was a spittoon nearby! Of course these were mainly for chewing tobacco which makes it that much MORE gross, LOL!! Kept "it" off the streets/floors though!!
ich weiß zwar nicht wo du dich in hamburg so rumtreibst (ok irgendwo um den hauptbahnhof herum) aber ich muss sagen, dass mit dem rumstucken ist echt weniger geworden und man sieht es nur noch ganz ganz selten oder vielleicht achte ich da auch gar nicht mehr drauf.
lustig fand ich aber deinen kommentar zu der klassik musik am hauptbahnhof. ist doch ne klasse lösung und es funktioniert, wunder mich, warum das kaum eine andere stadt kopiert
Really weird, but those cuts would have freaked me out! I've always got the feeling I have to do something (aaaanything!!) for those people so that they're not as miserable as to cut their arms!! Oh man, I really feel helpless next to those people...
Haha and great story with the beggar. Giving them food is probably the best way to see if they're really begging because they can't live without the money or if they're just begging to... buy a hooker...
Those cuts *did* freak me out. Because of the very reason you stated. It makes you want to reach out and help those people, but you know you can't.
I cry foul!
How inconsiderate of those people to make us feel this helpless. Can't they do that quietly, like cut themselves in places we can't see in public? They're just like the people committing suicide by throwing themselves in front of trains. How rude! What's wrong with an overdose of sleeping pills?
:-/ Nah, they shouldn't do it at all. I'd feel more desperate when I found out that my next-door-neighbour suddenly dangles dead in his attic and I've never noticed that something's wrong...
Well, difficult topic, I'd say.
But because I read your answer to Tavin's comment: I know a weird story!
The weirdest thing that has EVER happened to me was that I went onboard the wrong plane (!!!!!!!!). Nothing big happened, I just arrived 4 hours early... But still. Very weird.
IBM puts too much pressure on their employees... all cutters n spitters, rofl. btw, the spitting action reminds me of my time in china. they r da spitmasterZ of da universe. great job with da chickenburger! i did the same once with a big mac, but didnt get a beer for that, wtf ?!?!? grrrr
lol, that is pretty funny on the begging person. Honestly I've seen begger frauds before where they are begging on the streets and then at the end of the day, drive off in some expensive car.
It really is true that you can't tell how honest one may be. I'm also surprised you are such a trusting person of a stranger to take their beer!
Also the girl is possessed... or on some kind of trendy new diet where you cut out the fat literally.
Well, it was a closed bottle and I did check the expiration date. Most of the beer I receive is from total strangers, be it from a bartender in the evening or the cashier in a supermarket. I actually found that hobo more trustworthy than either of the other two, because he'd already had two bottles from that sixpack himself. Heh.
btw, I'm pretty sure that girl has or had borderline personality disorder. well, probably HAS, because you can't really cure that ["analyze this, analyze this!" ;-) ]
Oh, and I watched this vid last night at 1 a.m. when I was a little drunk myself... but not from that strange Beck's stuff. ;-)
das mit der klassischen Musik - da muß ich jedes Mal an "Clockwork Orange" denken :)
So junger Mann, du wohnst also nicht weit weg vom Hauptbahnhof, auch ich wohnte in der Nähe und werde es bald wieder tun..., nicht daß wir schon mal Nachbarn waren O_O
Oh the hobo and the beer! I SO want to see that used in their advertising campaign!! "Becks Ice Lime and Mint - better than a shower and a hot meal..." You could maybe have the guy running down the beach in slow motion, then stopping to drink the beer and pour a little over his head, the sunlight glistening as the drops roll down his beard...
Spitting?! In Germany?!! Can't even picture it. In Hong Kong or whatever it makes me gag, and the only time I've done it is a thing in Edinburgh you spit on for good luck.
Rofl at chicken/KFC.
Re scars, yeah, I've seen that a bit. Last time I joked 'look, you're just not doing it right!' which lightened the mood and opened the conversation, but is a big call in case it backfires.
Cologne has recently implemented a new "anti-spitting" fine. But I don't think you'd be able to enforce it up here in the North.
As for the scars, you always read of these women who cut themselves. Auto aggression, I think it is called. I have no idea how to handle a person who hurts deliberately harms herself. If they had a healthy sense of humor, would they do that?
I guess every day holds something interesting in store, if you look closely enough. But yesterday was just too much.
Oh, she was an old friend, who had a bit of a crush on me, so that gives you a lot of leeway in what you can say.
Here we'd call it 'self-harm' and I've seen it a few times, but this girl was the worst. Hundreds of cuts on both arms, her stomach, legs etc.
A while back I heard a radio interview and read a book from someone that had done it. It was very interesting, and it made you see how it could make sense in their heads, even if not in ours.
It's just one of those things you tend to overlook after a while.
However, I can recommend one thing to anyone coming to visit Hamburg. At any station - train, bus, underground other otherwise - check the ground, especially if you want to put down bags or luggage.
Very nice. I wonder why she was a spitter? lol
