I had an embarrassing encounter with a customer at work. a man arrived at the reception where I greeted him in finnish, and when he looked a bit confused, I switched to english and said hello. he responded with "I can speak finnish" in accented finnish, and then I don't know what happened. I have no memory of what language he spoke to me, but he said that he has come to meet one of our specialists. I instructed him where to wait in english. as he was leaving I thought to myself "wait, but he can speak finnish", and I threw myself onto the counter to yell after him "OH MY GOD YOU CAN SPEAK FINNISH I'M SO SORRY"
#i could only hear amused laughter down the corridor#white girl in the most racist country in europe struggles with antiracism part 17366373#he was dark-skinned so i thought he might be a migrant. but i always speak finnish at first#my coworker in the back swore that she heard him speak to me in english#which would explain why i responded in english#but we are only 70% sure LMAO
