T-Bone _ Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 BERLIN (Reuters) - A man in Germany fled his home half naked for cold, snow-swept streets to escape a mouse in his living room, authorities said on Thursday. "He said there was nothing he was more afraid of," police in Goettingen said in a statement. After an emergency call in the early hours, officers in the central town found the 23-year-old wearing only his boxer shorts and slippers at a phone booth near his home. The man told police he had seen the mouse scurry across the floor while he was watching a film, and had fled immediately. Police failed to track down the animal, but told the man it was safe to go home. He went to relatives instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autumn Dusk Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I don't know how this one incident makes germany "filled with girly men" Men have real phobias and we have no idea if there is a backstory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-I---Love Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 To perpetuate the stereotype I will add that a decent amount of younger age men in Germany are into the full body waxing gig. Does that make them girly....maybe.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I think they are girlie men too. I spent five hours at the Frankfurt airport and besides lots of girlie men, there were rude security people, totally unhelpful ticket agents AND they pulled our Priest aside to go through his stuff. It is the ugliest airport that has ever existed (that I have seen) and I hope I never have to go through there again. Sporks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a lot of real topics on the open mic and unlike real life you can't tell scarcsm online. I think its ridiculous that I'm scoffed at for being irritated that someone is called a girl and made fun of INTERNATIONALLY for something that not only could be, but is a real phobia. I feel HORRIBLE for this guy and for a site thats supposed to show Christian charity, that criticizes me for not being catholic enough posting this as newsworthy is absolutely disgusting.

Just something to lighten the day, though by what the the guy is quoted as saying it seems he does have some phobia. eww I hate mice.
