Wtf?!
Guh.
I owe Leslie two blog posts. Ahaha. I’m horrible.
I think I ran out of things to type out in this blog of mine ( and just in time too…you wouldn’t want to read a blog about blankness, no?)
First things first, Steve Burns (the dude in Blues Clues) is not DEAD. Ahaha, thank goodness. Now that that’s cleared up…
Do you not just find it a vexatious issue to have people who can’t speak English properly to be working in customer service?
One example: This lady at the bubble tea shop in my area.
Oh goodness gracious me. I think I embarrassed myself when I went there to buy Iced Milo with Pearls (I just love saying ‘Pearls’. They just roll off your tongue…). I was standing there enunciating every freaking syllable and when I finished my laborious attempt at trying to make the lady understand ( I even did the puppy-dog eyes in hope that she would… understand.) and there she was, staring at me unblinkingly, looking as if I was speaking in some foreign language. Yeah, right. I’m speaking in Elvish. So yes, without further ado, yours truly repeated her order patiently. The result?
“OH. Iced Miro? With Pewr?”
I swear I had to fight the urge to smack my forehead right there and then. The horror I tell you. The HORROR!
Especially when you’re a articulation (and grammar) Nazi.
Headache then ensues while I nodded in answer. All is then well until it was time for me to pay up
I asked her how much would that cost (because you’ll never know if they changed the price or something and they never update the menu. IT HAPPENS!) and her answer was in freaking Chinese!
…The hell?
And so it continues…
WHAT??!! steven burns isn’t DEAD? those wikipedia bastards! the last time i checked, he was, it was like last year??? wikipedia said he committed suicide cause he’s so bloody depressed and and pretty fed-up with his f-up ed life and band! haha (: goes to show wiki’s credibility (:
one more thing, yes, people who can’t even hold a decent conversation in english should be banished from customer service! haha (:
laters!
