My wife commented that this was the perfect meme for me

I have never been so personally attacked by a meme here! 
I was just responding to @Pbase’s post, saying that I have long been using YYYY-MM-DD as my preferred date format professionally and privately. I work for a US office but our clients are in Germany, works well there. The format also has the benefit of sorting nicely alphabetically. I didn’t know it was an ISO standard (but I’m not surprised). Plot twist: I’m a programmer. 
Don’t get me started on imperial vs metric… moved to Germany last year, and I don’t miss imperial a single bit. For a country that’s on average bad at math, I’m amazed that everything is measured in fractions.
how are you enjoying the backwards numbers though: one and thirty…two and thirty…does my head in.
And the time: half-nine is 9:30 in the UK, 8:30 in Germany…
+1 to that (this from someone who’s coded displayed time values for consumer electronics!)
I grew up with both languages, so I’m fairly used to it, but it’s still weird, and I feel like I have to rub a few extra brain cells together when dealing with numbers in German.
Another small annoyance - punctuation of large numbers. For example, in English, you’d have 2,000.00, and in German, it’s 2.000,00 (. and , are switched).

I’m guessing that was a while back, though.
