      Its a meme. Most europeans dont follow this lifestyle and maxxing is usually a way to refer to something thats exaggerated. Also languages change and maxxing, pilled, etc are completely natural developments. You could say latin words are stupid cause they are also formed with compounding words.

      Agreed, stupid new speech in a world where everything needs to be maxed out (for whatever reason)

    Deciding to never run for a public transport connection ever again feels powerful, and relaxed!

      Gemanmaxxing:

      go shopping before a long weekend
      complain about how many people go shopping before the long weekend
      be tourist
      make fun of tourists

        Wat. This does not resemble my experience over there at all. Though I’m sure the long weekend thing is pretty universal.

        I was bitching on the train about Br*ts due to brexit and the older German dude I was talking wouldn’t have a bar of it, calmly replied “they have to make they’re own choices and go their own way and that’s ok” or something to that effect. Auto Bahn was fine and everyone was super friendly when I proclaimed to be a tourist by stating in German “sorry I speak little German, do you speak English”? More often than not they complimented my pronunciation and replied in English.

        Hell in the smaller towns, shops didn’t even open on weekend before 10am. Shit was awesome. Would go back in a heartbeat. Though I will concede had I answered differently when they asked where I’m from, it may have been a slightly different experience.

          No no, you got it all wrong. It’s not about making fun of tourists visiting Germany, it’s about making fun of other German tourists while being yourself one of those tourists abroad.

      That’s the trick: leave enough time to definitely get there on time, and you’ll never need to rush.

        I often see a guy on my commute who is running to catch his bus, and every time I think, dude just set your alarm clock 5 minutes earlier.

          I’m like this sometimes, and if I would set my alarm clock 5 minutes earlier it wouldn’t change much because my mind would go “well, you did set your alarm 5 minutes earlier, you can relax for another 5 minutes”.
