Trust me, I understand the weight of the comparison I'm making. I didn't think anyone could kvetch like The Jews could until I moved here. It took some time to do the math to figure out how this might even be possible. Here, let me show my work:
German Love Affair With Order, Efficiency, and Punctuality
+
German Tendency to Talk to Strangers

Older women in the grocery store coming up to me to complain that the check-out line is too long and the Christmas stuff is already stocked but there are no more tampons with recycled cardboard applicators.
Let it be known that I will do my best to defend the Jewish title of #1 Best Kvetchers, but lemme tell you, these Germans will not make it easy for me.
I expect a followup exploration regarding the open windows and the Jews... IT"S SO DRAFTY!!
