You are not alone when strangers can drive you crazy! We looked around for nerve cheeks ourselves and asked you on Instagram what behavior complete strangers piss you off with. Here are your and our nerve top ten:

1. Don't get on us!

Whether in the subway, at the supermarket checkout or in a conversation … when people come too close and don't keep the polite distance that belongs to them, it can be quite annoying! By the way, the phenomenon is culture-dependent. The Germans need a lot of distance …

2. Loud calls … WE DON'T CARE WHO YOU HAVE YOUR HERPES FROM !!!

Uhhh, that seems to be a real excitement: Loud telephoning in public – preferably with the loudspeaker or the receiver in front of the mouth, as if it were a chocolate bar – obviously annoys many people. Super-private conversations are particularly uncomfortable. You don't even know where to look.

3 Get out of our way, man!

Five teens hooking up and blocking the sidewalk are annoying. A person who doesn't deviate a millimeter from his course when he walks towards us, too. There are very funny films with hidden buttonhole cameras on the subject that show that it is mostly women who evade. Men tend to go straight ahead at first.

4. Bad manners

Smacking, burping, spitting on the floor, putting your feet up … as soon as it comes to a failed upbringing, our angry citizen alarm kicks off. Bad behavior probably triggers us so much because it used to be very important to our parents. Nothing is as sustainable as education. Unfortunately bad too.

5. Recklessness in public transport

They don't make room for old people or pregnant women, they eat kebab in the U3 or stand like a wall in front of the door when you just want to get out. And they obviously annoy not only us, but also you tremendously.

6. Nerves in the cinema

Loud comments, endless giggles, constant rustling in the popcorn … UFF!

7. Meaningful looks

Yes, my child can have my cell phone briefly. Yes, I'm serious about these jeans and YES DAMN, I ENJOY WITHOUT MOUTH PROTECTION. So what? Meaningful glances on really private matters are annoying.

8. Soooooo laaaangsaaaaaam

Slowness seems to drive some people really crazy. And that applies not only to walking slowly, but also to talking slowly. We're not at Zoomania here.

9. Blocker

Why not stop right behind the escalator or at the exit? Classic. Annoying!

10. People who are loudly upset about anything and everything

It is in the nature of angry citizens to be fantastic opportunists. And yes, of course, we also – or actually mostly – angry citizens like us get upset. What you can get upset about … unbelievable! And then only these people, who sit in the glass house themselves and then throw stones … Tz Tz Tz. You could get angry again right away …
