“But if you don’t wash it, it gets dickcheese!”
did you know that when you don’t wash your hands you get lot of dirt stuck behind your fingernails? i got an idea! maybe we should take a pair of pliers and take those off as well. does that sound reasonable? no? that’s exactly how this “argument” makes me feel. when you don’t wash it then it gets dirty so we’d better cut it off is some really dumb stuff…
customer protection is taken seriously in germany (or any country whrere laws protect customers from companies rather than the other way around for that matter). you can’t for example just send an email to your customers saying “we’ve made some changes to our terms and conditions” without making it possible for the customers to say “ok, I’m out”. if there is no such option the customers may rightfully argue that this is simply not the product they purchased and the conpany is breaking their end of the deal.
this guy probably doesn’t know what he’s talking about but you can, in fact, travel without money. just not very far, very fast, or to a guaranteed location. i hitchhiked all around europe during my studies on semester breaks when i had lot of time and no money… i slept under bridges in a cheap sleeping bag or under a tarp on an alpine meadows and ate the cheapest grocery store items that didn’t need cooking. i typically spent less while traveling than i would have spent if i stayed home (especially if i didn’t need to pay rent during the summer).
