I moved to Germany and regret it. I've felt unwelcome by the people, and not even the great healthcare can convince me to stay. (www.businessinsider.com)

  1. She uses words like "microaggression" repeatedly, so she's practiced at finding offense where there isn't any.

  2. She's American, so she's ignorant of foreign cultures and believes hers is superior. Anyone who doesn't conform is an "ist".

  3. Her German is weak. Many Germans do not speak English. She complains about having to take lessons.

  4. She moved to a small town and complained about small town problems. In small towns, people speak even less English, and are even less used to foreigners. Public transport is less accessible.

  5. Complains about Amazon delivery taking too long.

This is the most American whinge I've ever read.

For real. I went to Frankfurt am Main a few years ago and it was wonderful. The people were incredibly nice and were very patient as I stumbled my way through broken German and more often than not switched to English.

I get it can be a culture shock to live in a new country where you're not a native speaker and where customs are different, but you can't expect everyone to cater to you.
