Do you get pissed off at people who can't speak English?
    #5122294 -

I do sometimes. I just ordered some sushi and I got a lady who could barely speak English.

Sushi lady: "Helro....Watchu wun?"
Me: "I would like to order the Sashami platter."
Sushi lady: "Wha dessin wu ew ike wih hat, lksdjlksdjlksjdflksjdflkjs"
Me: "uh......That sounds good."
Sushi lady: (in pissed off indignant voice) "NO! Wha dessin wu ew ike wih hat"
Me: "Oh...what dressing would I like with my salad....?"

Naw, I can understand that. It's just not her first language.

The ones who piss me off are the people who claim English as their first language...but who still can't speak or write it:

It's genuinely annoying when I go to a place whose manager is retarded enough to put someone who mangles english into a position where the public has to communicate with them.

a Burger King down the street from my campus ALWAYS has a single woman at the register, and it's a mexican girl who has a thick accent and speaks poor english. And she doesn't understand english very well either. People need to know how to fucking communicate in a position like that. People like me deserve that kind of fucking job. If someone has poor english language skills give them a position where it's less of a hindrance to performance.

This is hardly an illogical concept. It makes damn good sense.

If they are working any job that needs communication skills, it really bothers me. Also, it really bothers me when people who can't speak English used to come into my work. It's not my job to cater to all the various languages in the US. It's a new citizen's job to learn the language that will allow them to be able to function in society.

in reality tech support spoke perfect english, but their engrish, on the other hand, wasn't good enough for the customer to understand it.

I had the problem when I called tech support once that the person barely spoke English, I couldn't understand a word they were saying and it wasn't for lack of trying, so I simply kept asking to speak to someone else until I got someone that spoke english.

Tech support gets some real retards.

If I ever were to start a eugenics program with any sort of authority, I'd use tech support informants to supply identities of the mentally invalid.

My mother manages a small computer store... one day a customer came into the store claiming a powerstrip wasn't working. When asked if it had been plugged in  they said it was. They then showed how it had been plugged in.

It was plugged into itself, and they expected it to work.

:rofl2:
