Staring

• ..is not only very rude in English-speaking countries, it is also rude in Germany but because Germans are often lazy about manners (and morals) until someone corrects them, you get stared at. I am sure little German children tell their parents "but mama people also stare at you in Japan," unfortunately their parents don't seem to want to discipline their darling, darling little children because that would be terribly, terribly spiessbuergerlich. It's much more fun to have them home at 12 from that nasty nasty school so you can cuddle them until they vomit up one kilo of ueberaschungsei. So I have to do it. I say: "Hey du arschficker, was guckst du?" As the cruel PISA-shock demonstrated, 1/ this is a question, 2/ they HAVE to answer this question in ENGLISH because it was asked by someone who comes from the Englisch-Raum 3/ THIS WOULD BE THE POLITE THING TO DO. "I, I am not a a a a arshficker. I am gucking you nicht."
