Today, I was in an Austrian bar, making polite conversation in my broken German with a slightly odd middle-aged man. He said, winking, that he was near to his pension. I smiled and nodded, thinking he was talking about retirement. My friend later informed me that 'pension' is German for 'apartment'. Ew. FML

I guess I'm the only one that learned false cognates referred to as "false friends."

"I annoy kids" in Spanish is "Yo molesto niños." It's just one false cognate that can horrify native English-speakers if not understood.

Ew. That's just gross OP. Old men shouldn't be hitting on people that's disgusting.

Do you have some magical number for the age that they're supposed to stop?

#4- OP said he was middle aged, not on death's door. I'm middle aged and think I look pretty dang good. Am I now banned from chatting people up because I'm no longer in my twenties?

I mean, he didn't try to touch Op. He said his apartment was around the corner, Op is the one who nodded and went along with it. She was giving all the signs that she was interested in him. How is he "ew" when Op was the one who made the mistake?

I don't think 32 is commonly considered middle aged. That cracks me up. When will you be calling yourself old? 42?

He may have been creepy but at least he didn't try to take you to his apartment.

Actually, he did try. She just didn't know.

English-German can be really weird.
"Stewardess" translates to "juice pusher" in German, and it's actually a derogatory term.

Actually, most Germans will just use 'stewardess' or 'Flugbegleiter/in' (flight companion). No one in Germany will be offended or confused by the word stewardess since we do use it ourselves, and no one in their right mind will translate it to mean 'Saftschubse' or juice pusher. Unless they WANT to offend the stewardess, of course.

Take it as a compliment! He liked you enough to want to take you back to his "pension".
