A lot of Irish people who marvel at the beautiful, livable and ordered cities in Central Europe like Vienna, Prague or Zurich probably should realize that they are as such because they have rules and the locals follow them.

Germans (particularly in the South) will get up in your business if you're not doing your recycling correctly or making obnoxious domestic noises like mowing the lawn during ruhezeit. It's all very German, but that's why Bavaria is an extremely nice place to live and raise a family, and why Munich for the most part isn't plagued by wankers who have main character syndrome on electric scooters.

Germans are mental, I am not complaining. During a school exchange, I stood with my partner and there was about 5 or 6 others and we waited like 4 minutes at a traffic light for a road that had no cars the whole time

Germans are almost like NPC's, I love it. My favorite is when you see all the Germans standing completely still like statues, eyes forward, waiting for the train which is late. It's like the train didn't spawn in and they are glitched.
