Same thing happened to my friend in Japan....but they were yelling Japanese at him...... also what the German woman did to me as well, with German...ironically...she also spoke English....as the guy from London (surprisingly) but them maybe that was just how the guy from London talked... also had my In Laws in CHina....do the same thing to me....speak louder in Mandarin

I rarely speak loudly, one of the things I agree with Teddy Roosevelt on.... Speak softly and carry a big stick

Happened to me here, outside my own home. American cyclist stopped and shouts to me, "which way to montpazier". I thought for a moment but not quick enough, he shouted louder "which way to montpazier".

Hmm i thought, one of those, and he shouted louder again, "which way to montpazier" .

To which i answered in English.

He looked stunned and said "your English is perfect"

I guess i should have answered in shouted french

The End.

I've seen subtitles on multiple shows where a person was speaking with an accent, many of those out of Japan, China and Italy. Not all Americans are good with Accents....but then I have been in other countries trying to use their language and they seem to have a problem with my accent as well...again....I do not believe this s a purley American thing, as much as the rest of the world would like to say it is

Ive travelling to many countries and have only seen it once in an English speaking country.

Actually, GE mated with Westinghouse.
Edison was their love child, aka *******.

Those capitalists are shameless, aren't they?

I'd try it with haggis, but it's not so available here.

Americans have invented much better foods, actually, such as pizza, spaghetti, ice cream, hamburgers, burritos, potato chips, beer, and many other examples of fine American cuisine.

Although I've heard that they have some rather nice restaurants in France. This is a picture of one of the finest restaurants in Paris:

It turns clean dishes dirty? Or the troll eats almost everything and stuffs the dirty dishes there where he believes you won't find them?

Do they serve brie on brioche?

Back rub? Foot rub?

We'll work on you.
The Star Trek universe is far more interesting than Star Wars.

Star Trek is better because they warned us about the Borg before it was too late you are being assimilated.

Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, brie, pickles, onions on a sesame seed brioche? Might work.

In your case speak demandingly and wave a foot full of claws.

Why feel shame over wanton licentiousness, eh.

Wanton licorice sounds pretty good, actually.

I was there the day the first McDonald's opened in france. The two entrance doors were ceremonially opened. The queues entered and then commotion from down the street. Two tractors were chugging in my direction with large crowds walking around them. Each tractor pulled passed one of the doors reversed a little to direct their trailers to the entrance. They proceeded to tip their loads of fresh cow dung into the entry ways to loud cheering from the crowds.

It made my holiday one to remember..

McDonalds is run by those with a certain mindset because the dung is gone and the destruction of French cuisine continues apace.

They have actually tried to take over france twice, first time was a dismal failure. They tried again some years later and despite a shaky start (see above) McDonald's is pretty much everywhere now. There are at least 3 within a 100km radius of me. Luckily there are far more decent restaurants

 

[PoetPhilosopher]

I don't care for McDonald's. I don't mind having one in each town or city. It's when they start creating so many, they have to pile one on top the other, that there are problems.
