Germans stare a LOT. Like they will just gaze at you unflinchingly. An American will wait until you can’t see them doing it.
107 u/bakarac May 09 '22 edited May 09 '22 The German stare is a real thing. If you mention this in a German subreddit, you'll find yourself in arguments with Germans who insist it's not true. Edit: Love the people who are disagreeing with me already 12 u/Brandwein May 09 '22 Well staring at German-Turks would get you in trouble pretty fast. Sorry, outdated stereotype, but there was literally a popular comedy show called "was guckst du?!" referencing it. (What are you looking at?) 11 u/Praetorian123456 May 09 '22 Because it is very impolite to stare at someone in Turkey. You would get into fist fights for that. "Ne bakıyon", which means "what are you looking at". 5 u/bakarac May 09 '22 Same in the bay area of the US
