Case 1: “Toothpaste” personality
Mehammed is from Tunisia, North Africa. Why has he never had the concept of saving food and cleaning? Why does he behave like a primitive man? How did his "toothpaste" personality develop?
He is a very fashionable young man who often wears pure white clothes. His hometown is one of the least developed areas in the world.
He is our most special neighbor. Since he can come to Germany to take language classes, his intelligence should be no problem. His identity is like a mystery. The only explanation is that maybe his father is a tribal chief and comes from a noble family.
Note: We call people who have no initiative and a completely passive survival mode as "toothpaste" personality. That is to say, they can only move if they squeeze, and even the toothpaste outlet is blocked and they cannot squeeze at all.
Extremely selfish
There were many times when there were food residues on the kitchen floor, sink, table, and ground, so I took pictures and sent them to the apartment WhatsApp chat group with the message "Please don't leave the garbage for others to clean up", which usually no one dares to claim. Responsible.
Once, Mehammed publicly replied to a message, "It was left by someone else. I saw it last night." That is to say, he saw it but did not help clean it up. That was someone else's responsibility and had nothing to do with him.
In fact, he is a major polluter of the apartment.
One day, I posted another photo in the group asking "Who left the garbage?". Mehammed was a responsible person. He quickly came out of the room and picked up two carrot peels on the ground.
What cannot be denied is that everyone saw that he cut carrots that day, and the carrot skin was very large. He only cleaned the carrot skin, but there were carrot residues around it, which he did not clean up.
He also baked a bunch of bread, ignoring the tiny crumbs on the floor and table, and didn't clean the small area of the kitchen he used, only picking up the larger pieces of trash.
The next day he made pasta again, and there were crumbs of pasta left on the ground. Several strands of pasta were more than 5 centimeters long, and tomato remnants with a diameter of more than 3 centimeters were thrown on the floor.
This time I didn't say anything and the trash just stayed there.
Waste of food
He often dumps steaming fresh pasta, which probably weighs at least a kilogram, into the kitchen waste bin.
It seems that he does not need to work and study, he has enough time to cook every day, 1-2 kinds of food each time, a large amount, eat a little bit, and then throw away the rest. Includes bread, pasta, fruit, meat. . . Half of the kitchen waste bin every week is filled with food he throws out.
We normal people only throw away a little bit of inedible food, such as coffee and tea residues, fruit cores, orange peels, root vegetable peels, etc.
We don’t understand why a person who has a small appetite and can only eat 1/2 - 1/3 of a package of pasta often cooks a whole package (0.5-1 kg) of pasta for himself at one time?
Several of our neighbors were surprised by this and said, "This man is very strange. How was he raised? Why was so much food wasted?"
Then we told him, why should we throw away fresh food? He doesn't seem to understand "why food can't be thrown into the trash can"?
"If there is too much food to eat at one time, you can cook it in multiple batches to ensure that it is eaten every time." Cynthia, a classmate from Luxembourg who is an active environmental activist, took him to the large refrigerator and took out the box in which she stored the food. , personally demonstrated to him, "You can cook a lot of food at once, store it in the refrigerator, and you won't have to cook for the next week."
He just stood there and giggled, asking us, "Why can't we throw away the food? I can't finish it, I don't want to eat it."
All we could tell him was that "Germans don't like wasting food" and he didn't seem to understand the concept of shameful waste.
Throw away all the food in the refrigerator
Before we were about to move out of this apartment, Mohammed, who had never done any cleaning before, actually took on the task of cleaning out the refrigerator. He threw out all the food in one refrigerator. I didn't notice at the time. I moved out a week later.
But he threw away all my food for the week, he has moved away, we can't find him, he doesn't need to consult with anyone, he can make his own decisions and dispose of other people's belongings as he pleases.
I have met several Tunisians with this characteristic. Their country is very poor, but they behave like nouveau riche. Waste may be a common custom of their nation.
SPCA Thank You
Man, You must be very generous and compassionate that contributing so many fresh noodles and other foods to the trash bin frequently. they are usually sent to composting in local community where the gr is a large yent to composting in local community where the gr is a large yre is a lool of cats.
Europe offers the best animal welfare in the world, thanks for your case, but sadly in many regions on earth, mice are usually very small, and they are less than 10cm long before being eaten by cats.
Why are animal welfare treatments so different due to different regions? there are countless flies and other insects that also benefit from abundance of food!
Due to my previous work, I am very interested in animal and environmental study. but I am extremely stingy by nature and feel ashamed that cannot give more to animals.
Man, you must be a very generous and compassionate person to contribute so much fresh noodles and various foods to the trash can on a regular basis. These leftover foods will be sent to this community for composting, where there is a large family of mice that have grown to huge sizes. As big as a cat, I have to say that Europe’s animal welfare is the best in the world, while in other regions rats are usually very small and do not survive more than 6 months and are less than 10 centimeters long before being eaten by cats. sad!
Why are animal welfare treatments so different in different regions? Of course there are countless flies and other insects that also benefit from this rich food!
I was very interested in this topic due to my previous work in an animal and environmental organization, but I was extremely stingy by nature and felt ashamed that I could not give more to animals.
Garbage is not classified
Then a few days later, he threw a package of frozen chicken and two layers of plastic bags into the kitchen waste bin. We told him face to face that the plastic bags were classified as "plastic" and not to throw them into the kitchen waste bin. He just stood there. giggle.
Two days have passed and the chicken wrapped in plastic bags is still in the trash can. I wonder if he can’t understand what we are saying? Still deliberately pretending to be stupid and not taking it seriously.
Our good neighbor Cynthia is quite obsessed with maintaining the garbage classification in the community. She corrected Mohammed several times in person, but he seemed to have no memory and always littered.
We explained in detail how to classify, printed a few pieces of paper and stuck them on the wall, and put classification labels on the trash cans. After 2 months, the effect seemed not obvious, and then we became numb.
If we see wrongly sorted garbage, we sort it again, almost every week.
Weird and unreasonable
This is his life almost every day
Even if someone urges and supervises him in person, he will not take the initiative to do anything, he will just smile there; in short, his basic principle is "If you can do it without taking action, you will never do it", waiting for others to clean up the garbage.
His memory may only be 7 seconds. Even if you repeat something you have told him many times, he cannot remember it and he will not do it;
You can only talk to him face to face and ask him to do it immediately. He may do it, but the effect is not guaranteed; if there is no one to supervise, even if he does it, you will find that there is not much difference between doing it and not doing it;
He lacks common sense in life, for example, how much food should each person eat? How to classify garbage?
Tunisian friends leave feces in toilets that lack water
He once enjoyed cooking in his apartment with a group of Tunisian friends who had no concept of hygiene. They don't change their shoes, are noisy, don't clean and tidy the kitchen and tables, pile personal belongings randomly in the common area, and always leave dirty things to others.
In the first few weeks after moving to this apartment, one of our toilets had no water, so Mohammed took his Tunisian friends to a gathering to cook. They even left their feces in the toilet that lacked water without doing anything to deal with it.
I couldn't stand it, so I cleaned up the poop they left as quickly as possible.
There was water in the nearby toilet, but they would not use buckets to catch the water to flush away the excrement they left behind.
This is the indigenous original style of Tunisians, and it is like this wherever you go.
Human Genome Map Project Thank you
A few days ago, there was a pile of stool in the toilet near the kitchen that had not been flushed away. It was in such perfect shape that its owner looked very healthy. and food relations, so I sent it for genetic testing to find out it's owner, the test results will be available soon.
A few days ago, there was a pile of feces in the toilet near the kitchen that had not been flushed. It was in such perfect shape and its owner looked very healthy. Due to my previous job, I have always been interested in studying the relationship between health and food, so I sent it for genetic testing to find out its owner. The test results will be out soon.
Because of that special smell and visual impact, I panicked and made a mistake, I only took a small piece and kept it in the sample box, and then pressed the flush button in time.
I lost such big sample of excellent case. I deeply regret and blame myself for this. I should have kept it all in the refrigerator for later research on larger samples.

Since then, I have lost a large sample of outstanding cases, and I deeply regret and blame myself for this. I should keep them all in the refrigerator for subsequent research on larger samples.
I wrote two short stories about "Human Genome Map" and "Animal Protection Society" and sent them to the community WhatsApp group, but they did not dare to respond.
