Brit Reacts to Crazy Karen VS Germans on a NYC train

[@the_a-team_geek]

In Germany, we have a term for this: "fremdschämen". The feeling of shame for someone else who has done something embarrassing.

After this incident, which was filmed and seen on the Internet by her boss and caused an international shitstorm, she was fired and lost all her benefits. This action was stupid and foolish but it reflects the majority of society, the uneducated masses in the USA, 1:1. Embarrassing and I'm surprised that the ambassador there was not complained to by Germany. The behavior of the American citizen towards a tourist was and is inappropriate.

[@lynnm6413]

If the German ambassador had to get active anytime a US citizen thought it funny to do an 88 salute, he would be dealing with nothing else

[@HenryAusLuebeck]

Yes, exactly. As if the current German government cares about its citizens. My beloved Germany is being destroyed by their own government and yet they are only following orders from the USA. If the victims were Muslim, THEN maybe they would do something. The whole world knows what happens when you fuck the Germans: We are obedient and follow the rules but when it's enough THEN THE WORLD BURNS!!!!!!

[@annaschie]

I love your reactions because you directly pass on really good life wisdom, conclusions you draw from behaviors. I was never able to finish watching this video. It's that German “Fremdschämen” in quotation marks. Accordingly, I didn't even realize that she was drunk... No, it's never an excuse but an explanation. Thank you and best wishes from Germany👵👋

[@eastfrisian_88]

Oh dear, she has made her bed, now she has to lie in it. I hope she never works for recruitment or HR in general again, but I guess even a fast food chain won't give her a job. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump proposed her as a minister. 🤣 There is a rule that I stick to rigidly: When I go out drinking with work colleagues, I control myself and never getting really pissed, never. It has worked well so far in 19 years of work.

[@xcoder1122]

Alcohol doesn't change who you are. Alcohol lowers your inhibitions. So if you behave badly when drunk but are fine when sober, it means that you are actually that poor person but are so inhibited when sober that you don't show it. Sensible people with sensible attitudes who have had a good upbringing don't behave completely out of character, no matter how drunk they are. They may misbehave slightly or do something embarrassing that they wouldn't otherwise do, they may make a bad decision, but it never ends in a complete breakdown.

[@Siegbert85]

What makes her think those guys are immigrants? They're probably just tourists. Contrary to what she might believe Germans typically aren't that desperate to emigrate to the US unless they're offered a really high paying job or something.

Tbh, i hear that actually quite often from foreign students (especially from english speaking countries, like US, Canada, UK, Australia). I think it's because here we learn early on, that you have to look people straight into the eyes when talking to them, otherwise it's considered impolite, weak, improper even, etc. It seems in other countries looking straight into someones eyes (without interruption) is seen like a provocation, similar like among gorillas for example.
