In other worlds..

Post by tas »

Ok, you've been to other countries and whitnessed unusual ways.. but i'm sure many here have found amusement in how their dialect or ways have been taken in a different light... anyone got any similar stories?

1) SPAIN

Asks waiter for a bag of Salt 'N Viniger Crisps..

Waiter looks confused..

Ask again for a bag of Salt 'N Vinigar Crisps.

He looks at me confused..

I action eating a bag of crisps, and motions the act of vinigar and Salt.

He suddenly reacts... "AHHHHH!" and walks off..

He returns with a bag of plain crisps, a bottle of vinigar and a bottle of salt!


GERMANY:

Asks waitress for a pint of Lager..

She returns will a small glass of larger.

After a while of drinking miniscule amounts i ask her for a bigger glass.

She looks at me and says..."Bigger?", i nod and say.."Hey, I'm English".

She returns with a Glass the size of a barrel.

I respond.. "I love you!" ;)


AMERICA:

I ask.. "Can i have 20 Marlboro!"

She says.."TWENTY?"

I say, "errr. yes TWENTY"

she returns with 20 packets of Cigs.

I look at her confused.."I SAID 20!, not 200!"

Turns out England sell 10's and 20's in a packet.. In the US they only sell 20's and so 20 here is just twenty cigs.. in the US it's 20 packets!

Interesting... and I do not mean that in a sarcastic way.
