Le ingiurie degli anni In Germany there are three types of elderly: the elderly themselves, the old in the supermarket and the old Mercedes.
The elderly are the same all over the world. They are our grandparents, the old ladies next door, the mistress of the country. Nothing else.
The old in the supermarket are the elderly who are spending, just at the supermarket. Do not you notice when the shelves because they move silent and watchful. I am ninja, you can sense their presence, but do not see them and hear them. Then you stand in line at the counter and suddenly a truck hits you in the legs. It is the elderly. You look at it, but he did not exist. Until you have paid the old to the supermarket will inspire you with the truck, curled against the person in front of you. And the wait will last not just because two people later there's another old at the supermarket paying with coins of 1 and 2 cents, because in Germany prices are always € x, or x 78, 43, or x, 96 and he does not see, but count the coins one by one. It is a trap, an old block in front of you, a vecchio dietro vi spinge. E non c'è scampo.
I vecchi in Mercedes invece vanno in giro con la più lunga Mercedes prodotta negli anni 90. Lunga, lunghissima, rigorosamente berlina. In città non superano mai i 43 chilometri orari. Per immettersi nel traffico prima piazzano il muso (lungo come un'auto normale), bloccando la corsia. Poi si fermano. Guardano il traffico arrivare. Aspettano che si blocchi. Quando giudicano che la coda è abbastanza lunga, ripartono. 20 all'ora per i primi 200 metri, 25 all'ora per i secondi 200 metri e via così fino a toccare i 43 di crociera.
In autostrada, procedono per qualche tempo dopo l'immissione to 110 per hour in the right lane, then move to the middle and settle at a peaceful 100 per hour. Usually carry out the combined lane change / slow down when you come to 130. There are two exceptions to the rule. The first is that when you are in the right lane to 120/130, the old man with a Mercedes will surpass the sole purpose of re-enter and brake in front, re-stabilizing the 110 (although this is a typical maneuver of motorists German). The second is during the busy weekend back from vacation, when the 'Autobahn turns into a motorway English and all rush on the left-most lane as possible competing to see who goes floor, while the right lane, there are people, serene and undisturbed, there is a picnic.
In essence, unless they are your relatives, you know that older Germans hate you and try to kill you with strokes of your shopping cart or cutting the road on the highway. And this is not nice.
