#im carrying aTON of notes to take to my friend so i took a cab bc its impossible to carry itherwise#and the driver came to my adress then?? said i didnt show and left#even tho i was waiting downstairs for him#so i ordered a cab *again* and the same dude picked up and he called me#and started speaking in czech super quick which#i understand most of it but not when fast and its difficult for me to speak it#so i said in czech im sorry could you say that in english?#and he got so mad started saying#shit like english? youre in prague speak czech hitch and shit like that#and i let him finish his spiel before saying im sorry i dont speak czech (in english this time)#simply bc even if i were to try and speak czech before i sure as hell wouldnt now#you do NOT insult me like that and think ill behave nicely#and he said 'thats your problem not mine' in ENGLISH the mf#and i said 'sure it is' and hang up#and reported him#but gdi its been a good year since i last had an incident like this#ive heard a lot of shit here i got cussed and more#bc of covid its been a while lmao#in cyprus ppl will go above and beyond to communicate with u like we learn english alongside greek#and you can at least respect that czech's my third language-fourth if i count my shitty french#ive had good experiences too with ppl trying to speak english#and apologising saying they speak it badly and i always say dont worry about it at all!#leaving abroad you get more than happy that ppl try and thats more than enough#but this left such a sour taste in my mouth esp since im leaving soon#burrito talks#not fandom related#delete later#if youre the type that says 'speak the language' to foreigners fuck you
