Saw the most obnoxious American tourist today

I’m an American living in Germany and I saw what was probably the most obnoxious American tourist ever. I’m from Texas and living in Germany for about 3 months now and I saw an American tourist girl obnoxiously asking people about the history of the city for about 10 minutes and the man she was talking to was going in the city on his way to work. Here’s a summary of what I heard: Girl: “I’m from New York City. I thought it was big but this city is equally as big if not bigger!” German guy: “Yes, actually it’s smaller than New York City. I don’t know what you’ve been told in school, but Berlin is Germany’s capital.” Girl: “Wait what? I just thought that Berlin was the name of the city but that’s where the government is? So you have a London and a Berlin like situation?” German guy: “Kind of but not equally as big. London is a lot bigger than Berlin.” Girl: “Right but I don’t know if you’ve been to NYC but Berlin seems way bigger than NYC.” German guy: “Not really. I’ve never been to NYC personally but I know that it’s the biggest city in America.” Girl: “Right. But this city is so huge!” German guy: “I don’t think Berlin is that big, to be honest. NYC is on a different scale compared to Berlin.” Girl: “But we’ve walked through this city for the last 10 minutes and we’re still walking and we haven’t even gotten to the city.” German guy: “That’s a lie. But there is a lot of traffic. You have to be patient.” Girl: “I’m patient but I’m not used to this. I mean have you ever been to NYC and walked down Times Square and then out of Times Square and still see buildings so tall?” German guy: “Yeah, I’ve been to NYC and the only way this city is like that is because there aren’t any skyscrapers at all and it’s a waste of money to construct one.” Girl: “So so I guess there are no skyscrapers in Berlin or the area around Berlin?” German guy: “Yeah. There are no skyscrapers in Berlin. We don’t have the money to make that and there’s no need to make one. And there’s no skyscraper in Germany. The only place that had skyscrapers in Germany were in East Germany and they were all destroyed after the fall of the Berlin Wall.” Girl: “Wait so your government is in a city with no skyscrapers? How is that possible? What do you mean East Germany? Why is there a Berlin Wall?” German guy: “Yes. Our government is in a city with no skyscrapers in it. The Berlin Wall surrounded West Germany and there was no skyscrapers on the East German side. East Germany was the communist side and West Germany was the democracy side. West Berlin, the capital, was surrounded by the Berlin Wall and it collapsed in 1989 and then the war ended.” Girl: “Wait so you guys were at war with each other until 1989? How did the war start?” German guy: “No. We weren’t at war until 1989. East Germany was created because of the Nazis. West Germany was the democracy side and East Germany was the communist side. And America was the democracy side and Russia was the communist side. So East Germany and West Germany weren’t at war until 1989. We just were on different sides for about 45 years.” Girl: “Wait so what the ***** is happening? The Nazis were the communist side? And Russia and America were fighting about the war between East Germany and West Germany?” German guy: “No. The Nazis started the war. Russia and Germany were supposed to be on the same side but we dropped that alliance and invaded Poland, which caused the war to begin. Then America invaded Germany and Germany invaded America and Russia invaded Germany and Germany invaded Russia.” Girl: “What do you mean that Germany invaded America? How did they get there?” German guy: “There was a war and Germany invaded the entire continent of Asia and were trying to take over the continent of Africa and America and Russia invaded them and there was a war for about 5 years.” Girl: “Wait what? So Germany was taking over all of Asia and Africa and Russia and America invaded them and there was a war?” German guy: “Yes. But we were defeated and then the war was over.” Girl: “Right. But there still wasn’t a war between East Germany and West Germany until 1989?” German guy: “No. The war was over. There was no war between East Germany and West Germany.” Girl: “Wait but I thought you just told me that the war ended in 1989?” German guy: “No. I didn’t tell you that.” Girl: “But you literally just said that the war ended in 1989.” German guy: “No I literally didn’t say that.” Girl: “So you’re telling me that the Nazi war ended in 1945 but the war between East and West Germany ended in 1989?” German guy: “No. I didn’t tell you that.” Girl: “But you literally just told me that.” German guy: “No. I didn’t say that.” Girl: “So you’re saying that the war ended in 1945 and you guys weren’t at war in 1989?” German guy: “Yes. Now if you’ll excuse me I need to go to work.” Girl: “Oh ok but can you give me directions to the city?” German guy: “No.” Girl: “But what’s the name of the city?” German guy: “Berlin” Girl: “So you’re telling me that the Berlin Wall surrounds the city Berlin and is the capital city of Berlin?” German guy: “No. The Berlin Wall surrounded West Berlin and surrounded the capital of West Germany.” Girl: “Wait so West Berlin was its own city that surrounded the capital of Berlin?” German guy: “No. West Berlin was the capital of West Germany and surrounded by the Berlin Wall.” Girl: “So so West Berlin is its own separate city in Berlin and the capital of West Berlin is West Berlin?” German guy: “Yes.” Girl: “Wait so the capital of Berlin is Berlin and the capital of West Berlin is West Berlin and West Berlin is a separate city located in Berlin?” German guy: “Yes. Now you need to leave.” The man literally walked away as he was going to work. And that was the story of the most obnoxious and ignorant tourist I’ve ever seen.
