~~Das ist der Weg~~

This is the way, ja?

[-] tromars@feddit.org 1 points 3 months ago

Wenn die Polizei vorbei fährt, ja! (ja)

You are being rescued. Please do not resist.

[-] Skellysgirl@lemm.ee 11 points 3 months ago

Love this. Who says the Germans have no humour.

[-] Mandelbrot@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Because it's gridlocked you stupid German.

Wenn die Polizei vorbeifährt, ja?

When your MPD switches to Richthofen

I get imense stress from having an ambulance behind me even if there's plenty of room to pass on the side. Immediately plotting where to go if it needs to go exactly where I am.
I can't imagine having an ambulance behind you and going 'Meh, I'm driving here.'

[-] NightCrawlerProMax@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I’m not an American but I’ve lived in Washington for years. Every time an Ambulance is moving with its siren on, people move to the side of the road to let it pass. This guy is just inaccurate.

[-] ZMoney@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Manhattan has gridlock that prevents this. There's no space to move into.

[-] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

yup, I was on a street so narrow just a couple months ago that I couldn't pull over far enough to let a firetruck go by. I had pulled over as far as I could. The truck got behind me and I couldn't move over. SO I just said "fuck it" - and zoomed into the road as fast as was safe and turned off the road the first place I could find.

[-] Aux@feddit.uk 1 points 3 months ago

To be fair, with the congestion that severe, the ambulance should use helicopters. Like they do here in London.

[-] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 months ago

Good luck finding a spot to land somewhere close within Manhattan. Unless you happen to have the heart attack next to a car park (or the central park) that also happens to not be heavily used right now there's hardly any spot to safely land.

in London and other cities it's less of a problem given we don't build that many high rise buildings and got more big old market places and small parks.

Eh, feels like he's playing up the stereotype of the eternal German.

"...WE DON'T DO ZIS IN GERMANY! YOU BUILD HOUSES WITH WOOD? WE DON'T DO ZIS IN GERMANY. YOU DON'T SEPARATE GLASS FROM RECYCLING? BUT WE DO ZIS IN GERMANY!!!!

I'm allowed to say that, I'm German myself. We are obnoxious and tone-deaf fuckers.

[-] Tja@programming.dev 0 points 3 months ago

There's tone deaf and there's common sense, life saving practices.

[-] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 3 months ago

This. I absolutely prefer to be a tone-deaf fucker among tone-deaf fuckers if that means my ambulance arrives timely after someone tried car buttsex at 260 kmh. (162 mph)

What, speed limits? Don't you dare touch my freedom.

Nobody more annoying than a German tourist bitching about everything

Edit:

ITT Americans hate being called out for their bullshit, unless it’s by Germans 🤔

[-] Crikeste@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

There might be somebody… ☝🏼

[-] dellish@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I'd say waiting for an ambulance while a loved one dies in front of you just because assholes wouldn't get out of the way is more annoying. No doubt followed by some health insurance bullshit that makes zero sense in any other country. But no, it's the tourist who's wrong.

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

So why not put paramedics on a e-bike, so they can actually arrive at the scene first. It’s not like the patient gets put into the ambulance immediately on arrival. Might as well have someone take care of the patient before the ambulance arrives. Just put a e-bike in the back of the ambulance or rack it on the front.

[-] Letsdothisok@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago

That sounds like a legit idea. Most important 1st aid gear can fit in a backpack. Inhaler. Defibrillator. Tracheostomy Tube. Etc including stuff to stop bleeding, including the knowledge of how to do it correctly.

[-] Thcdenton@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago

Oh look a cyclist bitching about shit

[-] Guns0rWeD13@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago
[-] Letsdothisok@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago

Yeah, ok, he's not wrong, but also, he can f--- right off. We don't need/want foreigners 2 cents, we know it's fucked, but fuck him. Sorry.

[-] genfood@feddit.org 1 points 3 months ago

Haha, do you mean that for real? I am curious who you are in real life, you seem to be an interesting person.

[-] Letsdothisok@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago

Well hell yeah. Who is this German ass hole? Thinks he fucking superior? I think his country and people have plenty of their own issues and bullshit. It was 1 stuck ambulance in NY city, and he's going to talk all that bull shit about our country?

I'm sorry, but I'm not very patriotic until I see this kinda shit. That German can fuck on back to his own country and act like prick about his own ambulances stuck in traffic.

[-] DerHaseWillSchmako@feddit.org 0 points 3 months ago

Well that's the thing. Our ambulances are not stuck in traffic :D
