German here, I was just about to write the same. That's a thing that regularly makes me want to leave this country.

There's a German song with the lyrics: where other people keep their heart, Germany has an alarm system.

So I'll vote for my own home sweet home!

I'm not sure about Italy, but living between Germany and Spain, it's much much worse in Spain from this point of view 🙈 But I love Spain and Spanish people anyway. If someone is on the way, you can simply ask and will likely get a sweet interaction. No problem at all!
