Yeah so we were visiting friends in Germany and the father was all proud to show us how he surveiled the (young adult) children and their friends with the vacuum camera while they were out.

Needless to say that was super creepy and for sure we thought our room might be ‘bugged’ so we didn’t talk about it until we were (far, far) away.

lol, holy hell… I am extremely against generalizing and stereotyping any group of people, particularly for things they couldn’t control (country of birth), but it did give me a chuckle that it would be Germans bragging about something like that. Sorry!

That’s just wild, because I’m pretty sure it would be illegal in a lot of jurisdictions. Especially involving minors. Holy Moly.

TBF he was born and raised in East Germany and they’ve…got different values and outlooks.

He also placed a mic pickup and speakers around his van so that everyone can hear what he says without him raising his voice…it was pretty off putting.

We visited them about 10 years ago and he wasn’t this…odd.
