Annoyed!

What is it w/people who move to this country and don’t bother to learn to speak at least some English? I’m not expecting them to give up their culture or anything of the sort. What I do expect is they learn enough of the basics to communicate. Esepcially, when you work in a position that requires you to communicate w/English speakers on a daily basis.

WTF you say? I spent 20 minutes 20 MINUTES trying to explain to the maintenance guy why my bathroom fan wasn’t working. (You know, the fart fan) The guy looked like he was a day over 80. Wrinkled, weathered, toothless, Asian fellow who kept saying “eh? you want?” over and over. I finally threw his ass out and called the manager. After 5 minutes of chewing on her ass, she sent up an English speaking repairmen who had it fixed in all of 10 minutes.

Jesus F##king Christ, Mary, Joseph, & David! Learning the basics of English is not a lot to ask folks.!

  1. Now that’s some funny shit! Would just love to know how many calls you get with non english speaking citizens. Rofl

  2. Well I’m sure if you’d had told him ……….

  3. I feel for you man… although you think you have it bad, try living here in Hawai’i =). Hawai’i has two official languages… English and Hawaiian. Unfortuantely, there are very few signs that are bi-lingual with these two languages.. all the advertisements that I see have English, Tagalog, Ilocano, Marshaleese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese… but no Hawaiian!! WTF??? And it’s HAWAI’I FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!! And hell, you can’t even get a job in Waikiki without knowing how to speak Japanese… ugh…. And then of course if you walk around speaking Hawaiian people look at you like you’re weird… this world is just screwed up I tell ya…
