I moved to Germany 7 years ago and some things don't cease to amaze me almost every day. I live in Bremen in relatively new and pricier neighborhood, but sometimes I feel like I live in a slum. I am absolutely sick of people leaving trash absolutely everywhere. The ground around all buildings is littered with thrash. We have a Müllraum and if the bins are out for emptying, people just leave the trash on the floor of the Müllraum. Even though the bins are 10 meters away... I also don't understand why so many people throw cigarette butts, unfinished food or gum on the ground.
If the small bin for litter on the street is full, they just leave the sacks with dog poop directly under it on the ground. Even if there is an empty bin just a few meters away. Whenever I confronted anyone with it, they just said that it's not their problem and left it there... People emptying the small bins also leave it there. It disappears only when someone else or myself clean it up, as we can't look at it anymore. However, at elast these people pick up the dog poop. I can't understand why there are so many people not picking the damn poop after their dogs. It absolutely pisses me off, as I am also a dog owner and when i go to pick up the poop from my dog, I need to navigate a fucking mine field of dog shit. Absolutely disgusting.
Another "special" group of people are illegally parked cars. There are so many cars just parking illegally, even though there are designated parking spots for tenants for which we pay for, some visitors parking spots where officially one is allowed to park only 2 hours and some general parking for public. However there are so many people just parking next to the front entrance, on the grass or blocking entry for emergency vehicles... There is one polish car parked on the visitors spot for 2 months now, without moving. If he doesn't park there, he parks on the grass next to the entrance. Whenever I asked someone to move their damn car, as they were blocking a walk, intersection or something, they just asked if it's my property and that I should leave them alone and mind my own business.
I feel like I am a grumpy pensioner just bitching on everything, but the behavior of these people just makes me sad. The reason why I make this post today is because I got absolutely and genuinely sad today, when I went to throw away general waste, opened the bin and there was a fucking microwave thrown out. I just can't comprehend the level of ignorance and assholness of person who does this.
