Synopsis

Welcome to Germany, a country where you should always wait at the red man, show up on time for your wedding, and be extremely suspicious if anyone offers you a doughnut.

German Men Sit Down to Pee is a tongue-in-cheek guide to German culture — the written and unwritten rules Germans live by, and an honest, very funny attempt to make sense of them. Why does mowing your lawn on a Sunday get you an earful from your neighbor, while lying naked in a public park gets you nothing at all?

Whether you're visiting Germany, moving there, dating a German, working with Germans, or you've just always wondered why your German friends are the way they are — this is the field guide you wish you'd had sooner.

Inside you'll learn:

• Why Germans are devoted to rules, punctuality, and the little red man
• The Sunday laws, the naked parks, and the perils of an ill-timed Prost
• How to make friends, date, and work in Germany without accidentally offending anyone
• The faux-pas that instantly mark you as a foreigner — and how to avoid them

Perfect for expats and travelers, and a great gift for anyone moving to Germany, obsessed with all things German, or with a bit of German blood in them.

Scroll up and grab your copy before your next run-in with a German.
