Show me what you've got!

Personally, I was offered a giant plate with lots of different belegte Brötchen last week, beautifully arranged. As a German abroad (and too lazy to make it myself) I wolfed down three pieces with Mett before even looking at the other options. Not even a little bit ashamed. My non-German partner was slightly grossed out.

If that doesn't convince you, I still have a German liability insurance despite not living in Germany for 5+ years.

As a pedestrian I stop at a red traffic light, even if it looks safe to cross regardless. My resolve does get tested when people just walk by me to cross anyway, which happens a lot (I live in Sweden, currently on vacation in France).

Excellent! Even if it is the middle of the night in bumfuck nowhere, you never know when a child might be watching, right? Even if it is a creepy child in the middle of the night on an empty road. It is important to set a good example!
