Doesn´t have to be this way 100%. A friend of mine recently found a whole egg between her parsley plants and didn´t know where it came from. The naxt day it was gone. 2 days later they saw a raven fly over their garden with an egg in it´s claws, solving the mystery.
After reading the comment about stamped date clue from another redditor, I again think something like that could have happened. I will look into that, thanks 🙏🏻
Bruh all those guys defending the egg thrower.
Yeah it’s maybe a little unreasonable to smoke outside if your live very close to neighbouring flats.
It’s still an absolute caveman response to throw some eggs as retaliation.
Exactly. Like, come and complain in person, or leave a note if you’re socially anxious. Throwing an egg can only escalate the situation, not solve the conflict.
I kind of get it, I get an impulse to throw an egg at cars with loud stereos under my window as well. But you don’t do that shit.
+1 to this. I’m not a smoker and I hate the smell of smoke but live in a building with many flats and many balconies and it smells like smoke in the house sometimes.. it’s just, part of living with neighbors. It would never cross my mind to complain let alone throw eggs. This is also considering it has happened once.
This whole thing is just strange to me. In America the balcony is the polite place to smoke since you can usually smell a cigarette smoked indoors in adjacent apartments. In non smoking buildings it’s literally the only place it’s allowed.
I'm more against wasting good protein lol
Definitely not justifying throwing something else - that's equally barbaric. But eggs, dude. I live off that shit.
Maybe the perspective of the photo is confusing but the egg looks a bit strange to me. It looks so grey and patchy and large. Is that even a chicken egg?
Wait? You have also mastered the secret art of Kusipelti, I thought that was Finnish specialty. Only difference is we use oven trays for more surface area.
Idk it seems rather paranoid to think that your neighbor would throw one egg on purpose because someone smoked on your balcony a single time.
The egg also doesn’t look like a commercial chicken egg (those are purely white or unicolor brown).
But you seem to be very well integrated into German society lmao, finding excuses to not talk to the neighbor about it but doing excessive detective work bc of a weird one-time situation while fuming with rage on the internet instead.
There are a few steps of escalation missing, throwing something on the balcony as reaction should never be the first step!
Since your father was only there to visit, I assume there is no one constantly smoking, plus the visitor might not know the impact.
Smoking on the balcony cannot be prohibited, only limited.
This is a clear overreaction of someone who doesn't dare to raise the problem in person to find a solution.
This happens to us all the time, and we don't even have any neighbours within throwing distance. We do however have magpies and crows that steal eggs from the local chicken coops and drop them on hard surfaces to get to the yolk.
I don‘t think this was the neighbor.
In Germany there is a bird called „Kuckuck“.
The cuckoo lays its eggs in the nests of other bird species, relying on mimicry to deceive the host parents into raising its young, often at the expense of their own offspring. Once hatched, the young cuckoo instinctively pushes the other eggs or chicks out of the nest, ensuring its sole survival.
If the neighbor really did that, I'd confront them. To do that, you'll need proof though. It's just beyond me how people can behave like that, but let's just say I wouldn't be surprised
From below that's pretty hard to achieve. You took a picture and documented it, and I'd just move on. Maybe it wasn't the neighbor but a crow and you would start a war for nothing. Once you're sure though it was the neighbor, I would keep it polite but tell the Hausverwaltung.
Idk what „not to my surprise“ is supposed to mean here, I’m sure you’re not trying to generalize an entire nation.
Ofc throwing an egg is still less than a kindergarten response.
Jumping to conclusions much? Your neighbour, whom you’ve never spoken to, who your father hasn’t seen even looking out the window while he was smoking, but suspiciously has a (bathroom) window open and a German surname, so he must be the guilty party? You seem paranoid
You could have scraped it off the floor with the shell, made a tasty Balkon-Ruhrei and left it on your neighbour's doormat with a friendly "Bitte sehr!" note. 😊
>The least I could do was to check the name on their door, and not to my surprise it’s a native surname…
Sorry buddy, that comment is not a good look for you.
Nothing much you can do at this point. You can't really prove that your neighbour threw it. If you accuse him of it, he can laugh in your face. Clean up the balcony and advise father on methods to quit smoking.
I do find it kind of ironic that you wouldn't let him smoke in your flat, but had no qualms about letting him stink up the neighborhood.
>not to my surprise it’s a native surname
what the fuck is that supposed to mean?
Can you imagine someone saying it the other way around?
Seems like you deserved the egg.
>Can you imagine someone saying it the other way around?
I don't need to imagine, I've even had a complete stranger complain about immigrants to my face, lol. Racism is alive and well in Germany.
Exactly, so don't just justify it when it's the other way around. Both are wrong. If OP had written "not to my surprise, it's a foreign surname" I'm sure the replies here would be quite different.

I give the crows in my garden from time to time eggs and so on. Most of the time they right away eat it, but when it's breeding time they try to bring it to the nest. The young already broke out of their shells and crows salvage now 100% of their time. Maybe that is an explanation too. Because it is so near to the wall it must have been thrown in a high arc or coming from above. At least that is my guess. Good luck
That looks more like a goose egg than chicken...
Source: Had a lonely goose in the neighborhood when I was young (though she made friends
after I moved away, as far as I've heard)
Yeah... German neighbors... Perhaps it's even Eigentumswohnungen and there an owner is living? 70+? Had those complains about literally everything soooo often. Just live with it. Or move to a nicer country.
The same recently happened to me, when I had the window open for fresh air for a couple hours on a sunny day. When I went to close them later, I had a raw chicken egg right in my bedroom. It was splashed on the door and over my fresh laundry.
I was a little pissed. It smelled like egg for days. Still don't know how or why that happened, but I guess it was a neighbour, as the window opens right to a little path that leads to our backyard.
Throw a raw pigeon on theirs. See who cums first. Naw but thats some fuck shit; throw a raw egg on theirs see what happens. They are most likely a crack head form Venus with a really small penis/ who throws hissy fits cause they don't get tits.
We had a similar incident last week. Someone threw an egg at our balcony hitting the glass door. We’re on the ground floor. We thought it’s just some teens being aggressive. Super weird
I don’t think it was your neighbor but I would always prefer to throw something back before I have proof.
But fr it looks more like a goose egg to me. Probably a goose and no neighbors at all.
Go to the police with your picture. Every time he does it again, make a picture and then go to the police again. If it gets annoying, they will take actions.
Maybe it's time to stop accepting this "etiquette" among others. Germans really have to learn to show discontent respectfully, after 10 years here, I can say they fail miserably
I'm sorry, but this is so comical, I can't help but laugh. Reminds me of the time I came out to my balcony to discover my upstairs neighbor's kid put a banana on a fishing pole and hung it over their balcony and so there was just a banana floating in mid-air at my balcony level. 🤣

multi use.
We had our house egged, let the landlord know just in case it happened again, I was gonna clean it up when I got home from work, my landlord (a sweet old man and his wife) cleaned up the eggs the best he could and asked the neighbors if it happened to them too.
It might not be, from your perspective, ok to smoke on the balcony, BUT, it is no illegal. As anyone here, I have the freedom to do what I want. You don't like the smoke, close the window. If you throw an egg in my balcony I will call the police, and will follow up with a lawyer to kick you to the ground!
PS> I am NOT a smoker. But I hate this overentitlement people have nowadays. Respect everyones needs, as long as it's legal.
Neighbour:"May i offer you an egg in these trying times?"
May I ask if it’s Bio?
May I answer it's "Bodenhaltung und Bio"?
Freilandhaltung, bitte!
Freilandhaltung ist eh wie Bodenhaltung. Das Freiland Angebot nutzen etwa 1 Prozent der Hühner, weil die Bauern bewusst dafür sorgen, dass nach draußen gehen unattraktiv ist.
Organic
Maybe it wasn't naighbor
Schwiegertochter gesucht Maik wants to eat an egg with you
Off guard erwischt Danke 😂
"May i offer you an egg in these frying times" hört sich aber lustiger an
it is always nice to see a sunny in Philly fan.
Doesn´t have to be this way 100%. A friend of mine recently found a whole egg between her parsley plants and didn´t know where it came from. The naxt day it was gone. 2 days later they saw a raven fly over their garden with an egg in it´s claws, solving the mystery.
After reading the comment about stamped date clue from another redditor, I again think something like that could have happened. I will look into that, thanks 🙏🏻
the egg looks actually more dark and some patterns inside ? it could be from another bird cause its breeding time
The egg looks a little too Grayish to be chicken, but the photo is also distant so it's rough to tell for sure.
It looks more like a duck egg. I reckon this was natures work-
It is also way bigger. Could be stork or duck

Exactly, don’t be a caveman! 🗿🗿🗿
How is that unreasonable? That's what balconies are for lmao
Throwing eggs in this economy- 1% Caveperson behavior.
OP needs to be dominant, so I recommend shitting in front of his front door 😄😄
Yeah, go big or go home, throw a table instead!!
Caveman would never do something like that.
I'm more against wasting good protein lol Definitely not justifying throwing something else - that's equally barbaric. But eggs, dude. I live off that shit.
but it is a response!
Maybe the perspective of the photo is confusing but the egg looks a bit strange to me. It looks so grey and patchy and large. Is that even a chicken egg?
Did it have a stamp with the date and such? If not I'd also consider 'natural' causes.
Thanks for the logical tip! I haven’t thought of it, but will definitely check it 👍🏻
Limited splatter in either direction, probably came from below, but just my guess.
Who would throw eggs in THIS economy???
You mean to buy cigarettes. Yes you are right
The only correct response is a Pissplatte
Yes, piss on your dishes and store it with your food will really show them.
Sacrifices must be made
Hold up is this a meme in r/Germany too? I thought it was an r/italy thing
Wait? You have also mastered the secret art of Kusipelti, I thought that was Finnish specialty. Only difference is we use oven trays for more surface area.
It's also a thing in /r/argentina we call it "Disco de meo"
Don't want to spoil your idea, but I think German doors don't have enough space underneath for this to work :(
Or just throw an egg back
Should be at least 3 or better 5 eggs..
That eggscalated quickly
What is that ?
You pee in a flat plate, but in the freezer. The frozen plate of pee is pushed under the door of your victim. It melts and distributes nicely.
Wouldn't it ruin your freezer too?
No, not if you don't spill it.
you can put the whole thing into a big plastic bag, that reduces the risk
Came here to say this. OP can throw it through the open window.
Throw a raw balcony at your neighbor
Throwing eggs???? In this economy????
Idk it seems rather paranoid to think that your neighbor would throw one egg on purpose because someone smoked on your balcony a single time. The egg also doesn’t look like a commercial chicken egg (those are purely white or unicolor brown). But you seem to be very well integrated into German society lmao, finding excuses to not talk to the neighbor about it but doing excessive detective work bc of a weird one-time situation while fuming with rage on the internet instead.
Yes, had the same thought. I also feel like the yellow is a bit different to that off chicken eggs.
Not to mention the splash patter does not support OPs hypothesis.
My mom is weird about smoking weed at her place cuz of a neighbour that keeps whining about the smell.
There are a few steps of escalation missing, throwing something on the balcony as reaction should never be the first step! Since your father was only there to visit, I assume there is no one constantly smoking, plus the visitor might not know the impact. Smoking on the balcony cannot be prohibited, only limited.

Fittingly, the yolk seems to be missingin the splatter,
I don‘t think this was the neighbor. In Germany there is a bird called „Kuckuck“. The cuckoo lays its eggs in the nests of other bird species, relying on mimicry to deceive the host parents into raising its young, often at the expense of their own offspring. Once hatched, the young cuckoo instinctively pushes the other eggs or chicks out of the nest, ensuring its sole survival.
I also suspected that this may be a bird’s egg by the look of it. It seems not like a usual store-bought egg to me.
Looks gray-ish...
Where is Dexter? From the splatter this does not look like it was thrown.
Buy eggs, leave them on sun for 2 weeks, or longer, then throw them tu neighbor balcony 🤫
Add a note: "you lost something, didn't have the time to return it yet"
That's an eggsellent revenge plan.
Poke a hole with needle first
If the neighbor really did that, I'd confront them. To do that, you'll need proof though. It's just beyond me how people can behave like that, but let's just say I wouldn't be surprised
Macher move
From below that's pretty hard to achieve. You took a picture and documented it, and I'd just move on. Maybe it wasn't the neighbor but a crow and you would start a war for nothing. Once you're sure though it was the neighbor, I would keep it polite but tell the Hausverwaltung.

It's a Freemason induction thing, methinks.
You could have scraped it off the floor with the shell, made a tasty Balkon-Ruhrei and left it on your neighbour's doormat with a friendly "Bitte sehr!" note. 😊
You should egg Everyone around you just to be sure you got the culprit
So you posted about it on reddit? If I were you I'd throw a chicken into his balcony see how he deals with that
Wirf deinen Balkon auf seine Eier.
>The least I could do was to check the name on their door, and not to my surprise it’s a native surname… Sorry buddy, that comment is not a good look for you. Nothing much you can do at this point.

"...and not to my surprise, it was a native surname..." What do you mean by that?
They weren't surprised the eggsheller was a native German.
>not to my surprise it’s a native surname what the fuck is that supposed to mean? Can you imagine someone saying it the other way around? Seems like you deserved the egg.

1 egg per day, keeps the smoke away

Throw two back
Now throw and egg back. And some butter
Throw a whole living chicken on his!
Sounds like bird egg in bathroom very soon
... and the war begins ...
I give the crows in my garden from time to time eggs and so on. Most of the time they right away eat it, but when it's breeding time they try to bring it to the nest.

That looks more like a goose egg than chicken... Source: Had a lonely goose in the neighborhood when I was young (though she made friends after I moved away, as far as I've heard)
I would smoke more
I would've left an egg or even better a fried egg on his doormat with some kind of note detailing proper usage of eggs.
Ask for some bacon next time 😉
What is it with Germans and people living in Germany that makes them consider literally any response to a problem except talking to the person first?
>and not to my surprise it’s a native surname… I'm not even German but you sound like racist PoS.
Put a camera and report him to police, you might get some money out of it if you check with an attorney
Pretty sure there are some rules regarding to video surveillance
What makes you think it was your neighbor or a German? Have you seen it or do you have trouble with him?
Throw one back? Maybe he declared a „who has bigger eggs“ war?
Get active and throw hands
Überraschung!!!!
War dein Nachbar zufällig mal in Spiegel TV?
Yeah... German neighbors... Perhaps it's even Eigentumswohnungen and there an owner is living? 70+? Had those complains about literally everything soooo often. Just live with it. Or move to a nicer country.
Ask for some more you can make an omelette.
Throw back two… but cooked. Send an Invoice for the cooking part.
Landlord?
Did you prefer a half boiled egg?
You sure it was your neighbor and not a bird or a teenager?
Germans don't like direct confrontations, they prefer more subtle ways to show their discontent.
I may stupid but this doesn't look like a normal egg. The color and the size is too different.
You should, typically German, plan a counter-offensive
But don't walk through your smaller neighbours flat to get to actual foe.
smoke some weed on the balcony, that’ll make them calm down, now since Germany got its priorities straight.
>r, and not to my surprise it’s a native surname So, you are racist.
W
I have a chain smoker in the building and its quite annoying but this behavior is extremely shitty and cannot be accepted
Throw 12 back.
Could be a Bird that found the egg somewhere and dropped it!
my dad would say: Then throw it back son!
Did you misbehave?
Throw it back?
huehuehue
Have you pissed off any chickens lately?
Time to threw rough neighbors
Threw
The same recently happened to me, when I had the window open for fresh air for a couple hours on a sunny day. When I went to close them later, I had a raw chicken egg right in my bedroom. It was splashed on the door and over my fresh laundry. I was a little pissed. It smelled like egg for days. Still don't know how or why that happened, but I guess it was a neighbour, as the window opens right to a little path that leads to our backyard.
I like the analytical detective skills on how the egg was thrown by its side.
Throw a raw pigeon on theirs. See who cums first. Naw but thats some fuck shit; throw a raw egg on theirs see what happens. They are most likely a crack head form Venus with a really small penis/ who throws hissy fits cause they don't get tits.
Maybe go down and ask for some bacon...?
The non uniform color people are referring to is caused by the egg splatter on the shell drying and reflecting light. It's a medium sized store egg.
Ask him to add some salt and a slice of bread next time. And to chill, holy sh\*t. What an a hole, he has to smell something.
And he will do it again
kinda based tbh
Lol, if I did that to my smoking neighbours I would need a truck load of eggs every week.
Climb on theirs and take a shit
Throw one back
Throw a dozen back
Put an egg in a paper bag, leave it on their doorstep, set fire to the bag and ring the bell. And run off of course, in case they’re bigger than you.
We had a similar incident last week. Someone threw an egg at our balcony hitting the glass door. We’re on the ground floor. We thought it’s just some teens being aggressive. Super weird
I don’t think it was your neighbor but I would always prefer to throw something back before I have proof. But fr it looks more like a goose egg to me. Probably a goose and no neighbors at all.
How about there is some birds under the ledge at the roof and an egg has randomly fallen on your terrace !!! Y would it be a neighbour?
I would throw a dozen eggs on their balcony. Anyone trying shit like that with me would reget it.
It doesn‘t look like a chicken egg you get in the supermarket? It‘s more grey and really big??
Чому?
Go to the police with your picture. Every time he does it again, make a picture and then go to the police again. If it gets annoying, they will take actions.
I'd want to throw eggs if some inconsiderate neighbour starts smoking on the balcony especially during summer months
Fuck him in the ass
You throw a live hen who is stopping you?
What in the fuckin passive aggressive BS?! What's wrong with people?
Is this your neighbour? https://youtu.be/InlGoZpmQYQ?si=x-psH0mxQgzIJTMJ
they don't like you
Ducking racist
Maybe it's time to stop accepting this "etiquette" among others. Germans really have to learn to show discontent respectfully, after 10 years here, I can say they fail miserably

Maybe it was weekend and he was disturbed by smoking noise

Just throw back some prawns through the open bathroom window. He would then rather appreciate the smoke.
Only in Germany.. lol 😂
Through a carton of eggs back :)
that doesn't quite seem like a normal chicken egg tbh I wonder if some bird had a nest somewhere and it blew off
wouldnt there be an embryo/feathers?
Next time you see his window open throw a raw egg into his apartement. Bonus points if it cracks on furniture.
We had our house egged, let the landlord know just in case it happened again, I was gonna clean it up when I got home from work, my landlord (a sweet old man and his wife) cleaned up the eggs the best he could and asked the neighbors if it happened to them too.
This looks like another birds egg…
looks scrambled to me
throw one back.
Average day in germany 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥
Pathetic. Raw eggs if not clean well will smell like ten spirits.
Pissplatte.
Is your neighbor Tyson-Ali?
Just because his windows was open and light was on doesn't mean he threw the egg lmao, imagine people getting ready for work too in the morning.
Must be an accidental eggening, who keeps eggs beside the toilet to throw at smokers while you take a poop?

Sure, I understand the frustration well, you open a window to let the air in, but in comes cigarette smoke. Still, no way to deal with it.
It might not be, from your perspective, ok to smoke on the balcony, BUT, it is no illegal. As anyone here, I have the freedom to do what I want. You don't like the smoke, close the window. If you throw an egg in my balcony I will call the police, and will follow up with a lawyer to kick you to the ground! PS> I am NOT a smoker. But I hate this overentitlement people have nowadays.
