    I recently moved to Germany and am looking for a place to stay. I came across a site that does the searching for me at commission, anyway I e-mailed them off saying the general blurb, and that I'm looking for a job in the airport. here's the full e-mail response copy pasta-ed

    Dear Mr.*****

    What I would like to know is what you are going to do in Düsseldorf, because the landlords/landladies want to know that. If I ask them for an appointment they will ask me some things about you and your plans. For payment guarantee of our commission we need a valid credit card from you.


    Hello Mrs. *****,

    I just noticed that Ciaran seems to be a female name. Sorry.

    Did you see that the object 44297 is available from the 15th of October first and the 47739 from 1st of November?

    (this is where it gets good)

    Hello again Mrs. *****,

    I have checked for other offers. Unfortunately we don't have many offers in the centre of Düsseldorf available anymore. So I checked for offers that have good connections to the airport where you husband will need to go/work, I guess. Maybe there is something that you like very much.

    Best regards
    Christin

    Mrs. Christin Ohl

    You were trying to imitate your own husband? I thought you were female.

    Obviously the Germans think your a bit of a girl.

    You sound like a girl in your post.
