Ms. Accent

I could barely understand a word she said, so I just sat there, nodding and smiling, listening to her roll her "R"s onward through the thickets of foreign syntax.

 

She stared at me curiously and it occurred to me that she was asking a question.

 

I didn't know what to say, having only caught a few of her words, so I just nodded politely and said "maybe you're right."

 

That made her angry though.

 

She shot me an angry glance in broken english and left me sitting there on the bench in the corner of the laundromat.

I had a physics instructor with a heavy east indian accent and he had to say, "when there is interpolation of the series of wavelengths..." but none of us caught it and he just kept going as hands shot up around the room to make him stop! Hilarious piece here, reminds me of most days at the laundromat!

Aaaargh.

I hate and also love laundromats equally, for reasons akin to this.

Woohoo...

The first sentence is my favorite. "... onward through the thickets of foreign syntax." Genius.
Genius, I say!
