Most of my friends and I (craftsmen in Germany) have a different routine. The alarm clock rings at 04:45, get dressed, brush your teeth, drink coffee and at 05:15 we are on our way to work.

[@jano1574]

Bruh, why so early? If you're in a trade where you have to work with customers, like electrician or plumber, I wouldn't want to meet the first customer before 8am... or are you working in a factory with shifts?

[@kailars]

Because it's nice to be back at home early and have the afternoon off lazying! Mornings are crisp and serene and one gets stuff done. Not only craftsmen, all kinds of employees too, government here in Berlin had to forbid its tax employees and others to clock in before 7, so now most still come in and clock in later.

[@holger_p]

Depends on the distance to your job, but yes, starting 6am is quiet normal, und people are happy to come home 3pm and have the rest of the day off.

[@JackoBanon1]

@@jano1574 I used to have to communte for 2 hours in total everyday in my job as an industry electrician. So to be able to clock in at 6am (official start of the working time) I usually had to wake up at 04:30, get my morning routine done and have a small breakfast so that I could start driving before 5am to be there in time and work until 3pm. After driving home it was already 4pm in the afternoon. The advantage of it was that I only had to do this from Monday-Thursday and on Friday I would go home at noon and start my weekend at 1pm.

why do the these craftmen show up at Germnan home owners at some vage time between 10 am and 2 pm?!?

[@holger_p]

So you mean, there are other people, wearing no socks regularly ? I mean, above 30 degrees OK, but below ?

[@miovicdina7706]

​@@holger_pI was wondering that same thing. The Germans must be visiting them in summer and wearing socks on their sandals or something. But I would like to hear the explanation too.

You mean the “birkenstock and sock thing” because unless wearing “opened shoes” everyone wear socks although nowadays no show socks are popular

How do the other Germans start their day? Get up at 11:00, still having a hangover, lighting up a cigarette, than asking themselves: do I have to go the Arbeitsamt today? If the answer is yes - than drink a red bull and start to get ready for your appointment at 15:00. If the answer is no - than drink a beer, take a good breath from your bong and go back to sleep.

It's strange, but my neighbor always showers in the evening so he can sleep a little longer in the morning...regardless of the fact that he sweats at night and goes to work in the morning already sweaty. And I have heard THAT from many.

[@Nils.Minimalist]

As a german, a shower is compulsory for me because I do a 8 km run every morning and desperately need a shower afterwards.

For Brazilians not speaking with your neighbours is just plain madness, sorry for the term, but it's true. People should greet each other

[@Caledoriv]

It's quite normal in rural areas such as villages in Germany as well. Nowadays, the children usually don't greet complete strangers passing by on the street anymore. But they'll probably freet neighbours they know. Otherwise, the entire village would talk about these unpolite children behind the backs of the family... The same is true for adults, of course.

[@gcm4312]

I'm more worried about the *shower ALMOST everyday* 😂 while we brazilians shower on average almost twice a day

[@kailars]

We do greet each other (mostly, younger East Berliners never greet back), just mostly we never get to see one another.I remember as student in a Bavarian town I met a new neighbour living beside my room and told her she should tell me if I ever am loud.She smiled and remarked that I had told her the same thing a year ago 😂😂😂

​@@gcm4312 yeah but Brazil doesn't have 0 degrees to minus 15 degrees half year around so no sweat.

​​@@kailarsNothing to see... Then why don't Germans shower every day in summer? I live in Germany and I know many germans who only take 2 baths a week in summer, despite the 32 degrees. I'm from Brazil and I live in Germany I shower every day, in winter it's no different.
