Today, for the second time this week, I was asked to stop putting on such an obviously fake "British" accent. I am British and have lived here all my life. FML

Tsk tsk, some people, just tell them straight that you are indeed British and such. Not your fault that you talk the way you do, some people like to notice the smallest things. I hope you are not self conscious about the way you talk.. Good thing it was not worse though, they could have commented the way you walk or something Or the way you breathe

What I don't get is why people think others would fake an accent to begin with.

21- It's because a Russian accent will get more YouTube views on gun videos than an American one. Also because my girlfriend thinks its sexy when I do an impression of an Irish accent.

It might be just me, but I don't think they sell bottles of tea in soda machines.

Yes 56, because we only go around calling people wankers, and drink tea at every single possible moment.

Maybe, if you speak in an American accent, people will think it's also "obviously fake", and you can go back to your British accent.

Borat's accent from Kazakstan would work.

Just ignore it. Unfortunately, a lot of people in this world are idiots.

Then tell them that you actually are British and need to stop being so rude. Problem solved. :)
