People from Berlin are used to look down all the time in order to avoid dog shit on the pavement.

When I was looking for an appartment in Berlin, at one viewing appointment there were about 20 other people interested in the same appartment. It was quite nice, but there was an insufferable stink everywhere inside that appartment. After we left I noticed that I had stepped into dog poop before and the reason for the smell was the dog shit stuck to my shoe. I applied and surprisingly there were almost no other applications, so I got accepted. The appartment never smelled that bad again :)




I'll be keeping this in the back of my mind, just in case. /s
