You deserve that for being stereotypical and thinking that just because someone looks foreign, or may be foreign, it means that they can't speak or understand your language.
its ignorant people like you that piss me off. okay, its understandable to think that some tourists may not speak english, but to insult them like that? seriously, you could have asked normally to take the picture, and then if they didn't understand you, you could have said it slowly with your hand motions. but until they give you some kind of indication that they don't speak english, don't assume. remember the saying...when you assume, you make an 'ass' out of 'u' and 'me' lol
You're the kind of person that makes me ashamed of being an asian.
sme :(
#24, don't be ashamed of being asian—i'm not. it's people like mr. poster over here that shouldn't be walking around speaking "engrish" to supposedly help us out in the first place. hahaha.
dude. i totally understand your situation, believe it or not. and if we think about the american culture, it makes perfect sense that you'd assume that they don't speak english, especially if they looked like tourists! it still must have sucked, though. FYL, lol.
and #25, that's just silly. of course speaking slower makes it easier to understand, particularly if the listener has some (even if not very much) training in the language. and on top of that, he didn't just speak slowly, he used gestures as well. (which in the end only made it worse, lol)
I don't see why speaking in broken English would have made you any easier to understand... I speak Spanish, but not quite fluently; if someone was speaking that way to me in Spanish, it would just be MORE confusing.
So ... That really sucks and you are hella dumb for that Lol! But you should have played it out differently..... act like you were from a different country too and had bad english so when he called you an asshole you coulda been like "Me ...don't ...understand...Why .... So Angry" "Me ..bad english" Then who looks dumb huh huh what do ya think ? LOL But you would certainly be an asshole 4 that instead of a dumbass! LOL
