Q: How rude she is!

I post my fan for selling because I want to get a better fan. The German lady asked if I could sell her at 30 and I said 40 on wechat. She misunderstood it and throught it was 30 and came to my place for the fan.

 

When she arrived and she found out it's 40. She got furious at me and shouted to me. It's really not my fault and I felt so disrespected by her. Then she left my house angry.

 

If she could be more polite to me and didn't blame me for her own mistake. I would deginetely sell her at 30rmb.

 

Before that an American guy same to buy other second stuff from me, he's being polite and gave good manners.

Sounds like the shit hit the fan....therefore 30 because it wasn't clean.
By the way....how could this get fucked up if it was in writing on wechat?

icnif77:

''am just makin' it up the shit, you know .... !'' .... never mind 'we-cwat' detail you mentioned! surprise

 

Are English speakers (UK) polite considering how many times one is required to say 'Thank you!' and 'Please'?

 

If 'yes', in German language two mentioned words are 'Danke schon' and 'Bitte' or 'Bitte schon' angel

 

- 'Danke schon'

Meaning of danke schön* | Infoplease

www.infoplease.com/dictionary/danke-schon

Meaning of danke schön*. Find definitions for: dan•ke schön. Pronunciation: ( däng'ku shœn"), [key]. — German. German. thank you very much. Random House ...

 

 

'Bitte'

The Many Meanings of "Bitte" in German - ThoughtCo

www.thoughtco.com/many-meanings-of-bitte-1445193

Bitte is used a lot in German. The many meanings of Bitte are the following: Please; You're welcome; Here you go (when handing something over) May I help you?

 

Both German words have several meanings (in English) what tells you they are used even more often than in British English language.

She's foolish. It's just right on the wechat and we even checked the conversation history,

She: Can you sell at 30?

Me: 40

How come she could think that's 30 because she asked so. She needs me to confirm. Just a stupid woman.

I had a similar experience, it was a business thing,also with a German woman.

 

She wanted something I was selling at the time but we couldn't agree on the terms. I wasn't willing to budge on mine, wasn't at all interested in hers and she wouldn't accept that.

 

Two times she left saying my terms weren't acceptable to her, I said OK then thanks anyway and two times she came back talking as if we had agreed on her terms and I was the one changing them. She also talked down to me the whole time which made me even less willing to do things her way. I didn't like her from the first time I met her.

 

The last time I saw her she was angry and abusive, all because I wasn't willing to give her what she wanted and on her terms. That's the only time I've experienced racism from another white person.

 

At the time I thought she was just an obnoxious, arrogant, elitist bitch ( I still do actually) but now your post makes me wonder if that's just how Germans do business.

icnif77:

Germans in China mind you, are well known to often purchase 2nd-hand items. It's a saving, you know!

Matter of fact is, Germans are (must be!) very similar to Syrians and other homeless refugees and they don't have any other place to move, but to China. surprise

Just out of the curiosity, what did you sell to the German lady?

Out of the date Pastrami sandwich? She must be undernourished .... 

Now, here is another (mind you!) meter! Have a count!

I don't know about German refugees,but all the other Germans I've met have been ok. 

 

It was actually a turkey sandwich, and it wasn't out of date yet. Well, depending on what time zones you choose to observe.

Germans living in China aren't German language teachers. They usually work for foreign Co.'s, i.e. ''with much higher standard/salaries than we get and they never, ever buy 2nd hand  items out of our 'bozo' here" was a point of my comment!

Did the polite American say thank you after the handjob? Of course he did. No wonder he got a discount. And did you ask him back for dinner and petting? Carpe diem!
