Last time I was in that situation was in the Turkish barber. He had a really really thick accent and I struggle parsing the spoken word at the best of times. Out of fear of potentially being viewed racist I just nodded and gave the man a thumbs up, assuming he was probably asking if the job was OK. He came back with a cottonball of kerosene or something, set it on fire and started waving it at my ear. Turns out “ear flame” is a real thing, and what was being offered.
Motherfucker made me anxious sweat, then cast fireball “without warning”, and charged me an extra £8 for my troubles. I will forever rue the day.
He probably made it incomprehensible on purpose lol
This is me with my Chinese colleague. She’s smart af, but I just can’t understand what she’s saying 80% of they time. So I’ve just resorted to doing all communication on slack. 😂
Let’s play a little game, you text me standing right in front of me. No, no, it will be fun, really. You’ll see.
If there’s no convenient window you best have some kind of joke prepared.
Relatable
