Answer 1 - most common answer
If you don't like it f** off back to where you came from - sometimes followed by a stereotypical reference to a national food or pass time
Answer 2
You must be have shit life and be a very depressed individual
Answer 3
You must be very stupid to fall for something like that
Answer 4
Why did you sign such a contract when it was plain to see in paragraph 37 subsection 4 clause k that they had you by the bal*s
On the other hand it will get read and you will get a response as none of them have anything else better to do and above all have an opinion on absolutely everything | | | | | Man, you seem to forget that all these people, those "veterans" and all the rest, aren't paid for being here answering our -mine included- questions.
They do so on their free time, instead of playing with their kids, or skiing, or whatever is that they' d otherwise be doing, just because they want to make life in Switzerland a little bit more easy for you and me.
The same goes of course for every one, in every other forum, that helps, even a bit just because he feels like doing it.

Hi
There are a few sarcastic people in here, but in general most people are quite helpful, don't let bad comments put you of posting😜, the whole idea is to share information, advice and what's good and bad about living here in CH
Hope this helps

Hope this helps | | | | | Also
* The sarcasm is as likely (or more likely) to be aimed at other well known members, it isn't reserved for newbies.
* A good serious post will be treated with respect (at least for the first few pages until it goes off topic, at which point ignore it anyway if it bothers you).
* Blaming something on Swissness when it is probably universal (garages doing work not asked for? quotes not honoured? surely not!) is unappreciated, it smacks of whining and gives expats a bad name.
* Trolls do get banned; even legends get timeouts - use the "report post" button if you think something is going too far.

Sweetie, you've got to find a healthier hobby. This present one just makes you look foolish and I'm convinced you're better than that.
