Welcome to Germany, a country where you should always wait at the red man, show up on time for your wedding, and be extremely suspicious if anyone offers you a doughnut.  



‘German men sit down to pee’ is a tongue-in-cheek guidebook to German culture that highlights the rules Germans consciously and unconsciously follow, while trying to make a little sense of it all along the way. Why, for example, mowing your lawn on a Sunday will mean getting an earful from your neighbour, but lie naked in the middle of a public park and nobody will bat an eyelid.  



Ideal for anyone visiting or moving to Germany, ‘German Men Sit Down to Pee’ offers a collection of insights into German culture while at the same time highlighting rules and cultural norms that those visiting Germany will not only find humorous but useful for avoiding any cultural faux-pas.

    Herr Schmidt Herr Dr Schmidt. Many Germans take titles like 'doctor' and 'professor' incredibly seriously, and will be offended if you do not address them correctly.

    Another easy mistake is to clap at the end of a speech. Don't! Germans, for whatever reason, don't clap. Instead, they knock on the table with their knuckles. There's no particular benefit to knocking instead of clapping, and nobody knows why the Germans do it, not even the Germans. But even though there's no particular benefit to doing it, knocking is an important German tradition

    you're about to attend your first German meeting, don't try to say something clever, or contribute to the conversation for the sake of doing so, as this will usually backfire. Germans are specialists rather than generalists and will only really be interested in your opinion if you are an expert on that subject.
