    I am sorry but" Please and Thank You" are some of the most basic social skills.
    Kids learn that from early age.
    A smile is universal language of friendship and well meaning all over the world.
    It’s how people communicate and interact with each other even if they don’t share the same language.
    It’s not just the ‘those anglo saxons’” using your phrase but normal and common in all cultures with Germany being somewhat of an exception (not everybody of course).
    According to you rudeness in Germany and being arrogant especially toward foreigners is something to be proud of.
    And foreigners being friendly is disturbing.
    What exactly is disturbing to you about a person being friendly and kind?
    What could possibly be offensive about that?

    There is much gripe in Germany about the immigrants even 2nd and 3rd generation not adopting the German culture well. Have you ever wondered why?
    This is what happens if the host culture is rude and belittling to them. It turns people off and they stick to themselves to avoid the unpleasantness.
    Thus it’s a homemade problem and a perfectly normal reaction to the dilemma.
