 |
|
I was working today in my school cafeteria. The school is a very nice place and in my hometown so it is easy to get to and from. At lunch time I saw a nice young man having a problem. He probably didn't know but his leg was shaking and while I know it was harmless others might think it awkward because he was sitting so close to the students and waving his leg at them. So I decided to go over and try to help. My English is poor so I did the best I could. However the ungrateful manling yelled at me and gave me weird aggressive looks. I thought maybe he didn't understand so I demonstrated but this made the manling just go crazy and flip out.
Can anyone here explain to me why this manling acted like that? I have met many other foreigners who have worked at the school and they have never reacted like that? Is it normal for people to do this? |

Americans don't view leg shaking as a really bad thing. I lived abroad with them and they have a lot of weird habits. Take for instance, just on the news the other day - did you know that Americans allow their kids under six years old to drink Monster energy drinks? Who ever does that?? We Koreans try to help them, and they constantly rebuff our help.
Next time you should try to draw him a picture!
Remember, when you communicate to foreigners, it's important they understand the message, and always smile! They love a smile! Show friendliness, that's the way they do it auntie! |

| The one you told off is a hate-filled human on this board named Smithington. Pleas forgive him, old and wise one. He knows not of his vinegar and water content. |

This American woman wouldn't allow her child to drink Monster energy drinks. It's Satan's drink!

What makes you think the guy the OP is referring to is American? I could be wrong, but I don't think he is. I have read his posts before, and he often uses terms like "cheeky", a term which few, if any, Americans use. He also says "labour", instead of "labor", which pretty much cinches it - he is not American. |

English English is becoming more fashionable these days.
I often hear phrases like, twa_, wan_er and cheeky being bandied around. Maybe he just learned how to spell correctly at school? |

Really? That's the best you could do. My grade school students could write a better parody than that. It doesn't even make sense. Please tell me you aren't teaching creative writing. I was expecting something much better when I saw the thread title, perhaps something witty. Please try again and I'll check in again later. Put some effort into it for fecks sake. |
