When your Moroccan-born colleague sits across your desk, almost audibly grinding his teeth because of the lies and bullcrap the other Moroccan in the room keeps telling us - and the translator asking whether I have popcorn stored away somewhere because this is better than all the stories of One Thousand and One Nights combined. Moroccan No. 2 is finished and leaves, and the second the door closes behind him, Moroccan No.1 and translator launch into tirades about how all Moroccans coming here are criminals, and how "Arabs have no work ethic" and "everybody from the Maghreb is a bum".
Again, both are Arabs. One is from the Maghreb. Both have been in Germany for the past 20 years or more.
Just another ordinary day at the office.

Sounds like something that happens regularly here. Make extensive planning sessions only to come to the conclusion (which many already hinted at before you even started) that it's not going to work.Was in a two hour meeting / presentation about a product for our system. Turned out it was incompatible with our system.
