    In Germany, possible answers to “How’s it going” are
    “It has to”
    “I’m alive”
    “according to the circumstances”
    But you always risk getting an honest answer, too.

      I went to Germany once. I asked a man, “do you know where the train station is?” to which he replied, “Of course I know where it is.” and walked away. people are nice.

        You asked a question, you got a precise and correct answer. I see nothing wrong here.

        Oh, then could you tell me where it is?
