No problem, if you are a German! :)
This is one of the first things that made an impression on me when I came here (and it will probably impress you, too!). Germans love to blow their noses in all possible places! It is quite normal for a university professor to interrupt his lecture in order to blow his nose in front of everyone. He may try to hide it a bit, but you cannot hide the noise, buddy.
You can hear people blowing their noses everywhere: on the bus, in a restaurant, in the office, on the street... This is quite normal here, so don't make a face or complain, just get used to it.
I admit I still cannot blow my nose in front of anyone. I need running water and the comfort of my own bathroom. Maybe it is a thing specific to me or to Bulgarians in general or maybe it is just Germans who are so open-minded.

It's the norm in Germany for whatever reaon but it is truly disturbing.
ReplyDeleteIf you've noticed Germans do not have any problems mentioning the toilet in a casual talk or at the table.
One more thing which startled me was that all German men pee sitting ... go figure.
And have You heard this... this ...belching? :D At the table, on the street, in the car....everywhere(?)... :D
ReplyDeleteI have a guesthouse, and indeed, it is very disturbing.
ReplyDeleteOnly germans.
Wahnsin.
They need some schooling on this, I'm sorry.
I totally agree with you. In university my desk is in front of the desk of German girl and she blows her nose so loudly and it is an absolute disgust specially when your eating some thing. they think that is a good culture while every culture may have bad points and needs verification.
