Don't stare: "You'd appear either uneducated or mentally ill."

 

Don't be overly friendly: "Germans like to gradually warm up to people and take time to really get to know them before acting² like BFFs."

 

Don't wish someone a happy birthday before the actual day: "The origin is a superstition³ that something bad will happen to them (they might die) before their birthday if you do, however this rule is not limited to superstitious⁴ people. Even bright, rational Germans will feel uncomfortable because it's just not done."
