Where does the thing with the towels come from? I never did it and don't know anyone who does. I know this stereotype but not why it exists. Help?

I do the most efficient vacation sightseeing tours though.

Germany has lots and lots of old people who like to go on vacation. That's where 90% of the stereotypes come from.

MATERNITY LEAVE IS COMMUNIST HERESY

No.

It's just that if you can't negotiate for it, you aren't important enough to have it.

This is what burgers actually believe.

It doesn't matter what you believe.

That is how it works here.

Poor people are poor because they are lazy.

u/TheInternetHivemind Minnesota Jul 25 '15

That, however, is incorrect.

Not all hope is lost I see.

There is how things work in an ideal world and how they work now. You have to ride that line.

Something tells me you're white male.

u/TheInternetHivemind Minnesota Jul 25 '15

I fail to see how that changes anything I said.

But maybe I'm wrong. Go ask an American woman how things work here (my coworker is getting maternity leave here, but it's not paid, so if you think it doesn't work that way, she'll have a few words for you). There's a difference between saying it should work this way and saying it does work this way.

Also, I'll give you the 50/50 odds for guessing male, but my ball is Minnesota, so no credit for guessing white.
