Strange and Unexpected Impressions While Traveling Abroad

Another encounter of Bruce-Lee mimicking.

God damn, it’s like a destiny that I am doomed to meet at least one extremely ignorant person in my every single trip outside of Asia.

Last time, it was in a night club in Germany A guy making kung-fu moves or karate chops with Bruce-Lee fighting noise every time I walked past him.

This time, it’s in a pharmacy in the U.K.
I went in to ask if I could get a certain medicine from this pharmacy.
The guy at the counter (looked like he’s from one of the Islamic countries in North Africa or Middle East, and spoke English with extremely heavy accent) yelled “Ni How(你好)…Wah!Ah Da!(mimicking Bruce Lee’s fighting noise)” and then started talking to me in English but with the tone and sound mimicking Bruce Lee’s fighting noise in every sentence.(Wah!Ah Da!Ha!Yah!..etc the annoying noise.")

Not sure if he’s a certificated pharmacist, but he obviously failed the test for cross-cultural communication.

After he finally said that the medicine I wanted was not available in the store, I said thank you and left.
Then, I heard him say “Chinky Chinky Chinky…”.

So, after hearing Polish making sounds like “Cheenese Swine” (which was alleged to be irrelevant to anything offensive by a Polish member here in Forumosa), hopefully this guy’s sound in his own language meant something completely irrelevant to what I think as well.

God damn, morons are everywhere.

Get yourself up to Yorkshire, we’re lovely :grinning:

Can’t disagree with that. TBH it’s one reason I left. A lot of British people are dumb as a bag of nails.

OTOH I’m really quite surprised nobody called him out on that pathetic little show. 95% of the people I know there would be absolutely appalled by it. Perhaps they were afraid of being branded Islamophobic.

Incidentally, British people tend to be a bit more direct that you might be used to. It’s perfectly acceptable, under such circumstances, to either ask to give him a clear “WTF is your problem?”, or ask see the store manager.

I was shocked, and at the same time, entertained, to see the signs on the walls in various public places like the airports, stations, hospitals, etc indicating “We do not tolerate racial or verbal abuse. Please respect our staff members…” or anything with similar messages.

Do they really have to make a sign to remind the public of it?
Isn’t it an elementary-school-level common sense that you should not be a fcking cnt like that?

are you taiwanese? why didn’t you tell him you are from taiwan not hong like bruce lee. educate these dumb fucks. my mum even corrects people now about taiwan after she has visited me here.

And so is the President of Taiwan. Nothing strange there.

The problem is that it’s considered politically incorrect for elementary schools to teach common sense.

The UK has a large and growing population of uneducated, unemployed nutcases. They’ve always been there, of course, but we’ve managed to cultivate vast estates full of useless parents producing loads of useless kids, and we’ve made no attempt to educate those kids and give them a life better than their parents. It would be technically possible to do so (interesting fact: kids grow up to reflect the behaviour of a society of peers, not their parents). We just choose not to.

The average British kid thinks he should have a retinue of ass-wipers to sort out his every little problem. If he doesn’t have lots of money, a car, and beer at the weekend, that’s somebody else’s fault. Usually the Poles. The operation of society - including what used to be called ‘respectable’ society - now revolves around skimming and scamming, because so few people actually have useful life skills. In that environment, you do get quite a fair bit of casual violence directed at (say) drones in Council offices. Hence the notices on the walls.

Yeah no, lets stick to version that everyone who speaks in his native language near you does so only to say slurs behind your back, Mr.Important. Muh butthurt.

Seriously, you just provided story of blatant racism and ignorance and yet still cling to that one where you just felt offended. You are making assumptions about what was said one language based only on sounds similiar to totally different language that has nothing in common with it, and yet you complain about ignorance. Ironic, isn’t it?

Yeah I’m taking every single of your stories with grain of salt.

If that is so, Minister Finley, then it logically follows that having 99% of those children go to the same schools would result in basically zero progress (for them at least).

Remind me again how your full privatization plan for the education system goes.

A post was split to a new topic: IbisWtf

This discussion is way off topic and gets sillier with every post. If you guys/gals don’t get back to talking about the UK and unexpected impression I might just end this thread. :boy:

You could always split it off to a discussion of the political implications of IQ tests, and we can continue the silliness over there.

Good idea.

Just to clarify, you find the idea of the white race surviving reprehensible?

You’re not advocating some kind final solution to the white privilege problem are you?

I split the topic, if anyone wants to discuss IQ tests further, please go to Political Implications of IQ Tests [Split from Topic "First time to the U.K. Strange...']

I’ve admitted that it was a misunderstanding with the Polish language last time. And I’m using it as an example.

So, what I mean this time is, hopefully this time it is also a misunderstanding with the Arabic or any other languages.

It happens with many languages. The Arabic one that really tickles me is key f***. It’s actually a colloquial form of how are you?

Is that why all the Doctors I’ve seen in the Health Centre are of foreign origin?
Because the rich English kids just inherit all the money and property and don’t even have to work in their life, whilst those poor as hell foreigners from the third world like India, Nigeria, or China have to study and work so hard to get a job that no English want to do?
