In germany we have a saying "der Blitz soll dich beim scheissen treffen", which roughly translates to "may lighting strike you while you're on the shitter".

That's a very original way to wish for someone's demise.

Northern Bavaria, near border to Hessen reporting in. I know this sentence.

You can definitely hear that one in Bavaria. I just assumed that it's widely known.
