The Beauty of Language Barriers / False Appearances / A Response

Some recent conversations, both overheard and experienced first hand:

-One-

A Kind Hungarian: Hello, I am Tina from Hungary

A Kind Indonesian: We have lots of food in the kitchen. You can eat.

AKH: No, my name is Tina, from Hungary

AKI: Yes, I know. We have food! Its free for you

AKH: No, my name is Tina, FROM Hungary...

AKI: I just cooked! You should eat...its very good!

AKH: You dont understand...I am from Hungary...

AKI: I understand. You're hungry. Come eat now!....

This continued for a LONG time until someone interjected to clarify...




-Two- (this is ridiculous)

A Kind Fabric Store Employee: Your total is $13.47

Me: O.K.

AKFSE: I'm sure you hear this all the time, but you look just like Brad Pitt!

M: Why thank you, but actually I don't EVER hear that...

AKFSE: You're kidding!

M: No, I'm definitely not kidding. But please, feel free to tell me this sort of thing whenever you'd like...
