How you know you're in Germany...

Went out to a club last week in Berlin called WaterGate. Around 2 am (it was only a Wednesday night and I'm old...) we patiently waiting for a tram to arrive on our journey back to the apartment. Now, in Berlin, the transportation system is so thorough that at each bus/tram/train stop, there is a sign listing the next 5-7 upcoming trains/buses. So, the 2-car tram pulls up in the middle of the platform, obviously unable to fill up the length of the platform that a normal 5-6-car tram would.

As the tram comes to a halt, an older man who had also been patiently waiting for the tram just near the "Next tram is coming in __ minutes" sign, (and who had perhaps been drinking) begins to deliberately go apeshit on the tram driver, screaming at him, stomping around shouting various German profanities and even reaching into the tram window, attempting to physically assault the poor night driver.

The few people waiting alongside us begin to laugh, Michi included. I came to find out that the man gone apeshit was simply frustrated at the tram having stopped at the middle of the platform, and not at the sign at the beginning of the platform. It just doesn't get more German than that...
