Teila Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 You know who else is dumb???? People that talk to me (knowing I'm English) & claim to be from a native English speaking country & it's VERY clear talking to them that they are NOT! It's even more dumb when they make stupid excuses (& ask what 'native' means. lol) oh & when they do it right in your face! (On that occasion, I just laughed in his face) Funny how they always claim to be from the states. It's really ******* irritating!!!!! Why don't they just say what country they're originally from!?!? *sigh* okay rant over. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teila Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Not over!This sounds like a specific person. I can't believe there are many people doing that. What happened? Actually, it's happened three times (twice TODAY). Have you never had that?? This **** today has stated 3 times that he is from "USA" After chatting for a while, I asked "You said you're from the states, right? Were you brought up there? or in another country?" He said (in his poor English) he grew up in the states, why do I ask blah blah...... I was trying to be nice & I said "you don't sound like a Native English speaker" One of his excuses was that he is not feeling well. I asked "how does that effect your grammar & obvious accent?" LOL That was the end of that call. lol. Then about 1hr afterwards had the same thing with another bloke (online this time) Conversation went along the same lines, more excuses etc... except when this guy said "do u wish me to speak in proper gramar" I got fed up & blocked him. LOL You know those moments when you think to yourself "Does that person think i'm stupid!?" Well, I don't ******* like being made to think that!! Yes, I admit...patience is not my strongest attribute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English_Bob Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Patience is a virtue. A virtue I can't be bothered with. Usually my first impression is right. And for the very few times I'm wrong, I can't be arsed waiting around to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stramash Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 dumb client of the day. 10.50 am - phone call: "I can't make my appointment (which was at 10.30) I have things to do Me - " I don't think you understand what probation means. You are required to report to your supervising officer (me) on a weekly basis. You have already missed one appointment (verbal warning) and one group work session (first formal warning) as well as failing to attend for community service induction. (final written warning - all 3 warnings in space of 14 days)" Them - "But I have to go and sign on and wait for a crisis loan." Me - "I don't really care; it's only 11 o'clock - if you are not in to see me by 2pm, I am breaching your order and returning you to court. Given you breached your last order, the Sheriff is likely to impose a jail term on you." Them - "oh for ****'s sake. Can I come in at 3pm?" Me - "No. I said 2pm. I have a meeting at 3 and if you have not arrived by 2pm I am starting the breach paperwork." Them - "Can we call it half past 2?" Me - "No. You are misunderstanding this relationship. I am your supervising officer. I tell you to jump, you ask me how ******* high. I am directing you to be at this office at 2pm." Them - "****'s sake. I am fed up with all these appointments I have to go to." Me - "Then maybe next time you will think twice before taking your cock out and showing it to 3 teenage girls." (they turned up at 1.56pm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treborz Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 There are photos of the TF girl on the bull.She's not naked. But at one point there's another girl on the bull with her. There are no photos of naked girls - they are pretty strict about taking photos in the direction of the dancers. The staff there look better with clothes on. The TF girl asked me not to post any pictures. So I won't. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I have told my story on TF for years, but yeah! I will tell you again. In the elevator which full of people, customers, and my colleages. I was talking on my mobile phone with a friend of mine. At some point I thought, where is my mobile phone, I told my friend like "Hold on! Where is my mobile phone? where is it? I can't find it in my bag... oh on! I think I forgot it somewhere." I think ppl in the elevator could hear it. My friend said "Is it the one you are using now?" Oh yeah! I was holding it on my hand next to my ear... how dumb it was.

simply_oriental Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Yep! Nobody knew until now.Your mobile phone story it's so funny.WE can only think one thing in one time while you talked on the phone you concentrate with what you did that time so you forgot where was your phone.It's happen to me like this story but different a bit i can't remember now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English_Bob Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 lol That reminds me of two similar stories. I was sitting outside a pub with a friend of mine and he was smoking. His phone rang. He looked at the name and said, '****, it's my wife!' He blew all the smoke out of his mouth and waved it away before answering. He didn't want her to know he had been smoking. I laughed at him for being so dumb. But later the same day, I was driving home. I was talking to MY wife on a hands-free set. When it was time to hang up, I said, 'OK. See you later.' and I waved goodbye to the speaker where her voice was coming from. Dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chatty Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 agree, lovely BF and Husband.... haha I wish I had one. Oh!! There are another dumb story that I have seen on news station. It's about car stealing. I don't know why ppl leave their cars, keys on, then go to buy something, or go to get money from ATM machines. So somebody take that chance to steal your cars. Many Fortuners was stolen cuz the owners did something like that. A pregnancy woman left her car and went to the ATM machine. Another guy left his car and went to open his house gate. Brilliant.

English_Bob Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 A guy came to the restaurant. He ordered and his food arrived. I could see he wasn't happy so I went to see what the problem was. "This is not chilli rellenos. I had them in America and they were big capsicums filled with rice and vegetables." "Ok. Well chilli rellenos just means 'stuffed chilli'. Yours were stuffed with rice, these are stuffed with cheese and topped with bacon." "Well, I don't eat bacon." "Oh... well. Errm it's written on the menu. Why did you order it?" "I didn't read the menu." See? Dumb. But I still changed his food for him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny! I posted this one before but it's similar. My girlfriend and I had just bought lunch at the drive-thru McDonalds. We'd order two Big Mac meal sets - both exactly the same. They were sitting on the back seat of the car as we drove home. As we were turning a sharp left turn, the bag fell over and the food spilled out. One burger managed to burst open on the floor. And my gf said, "Oh Dave your burger's rolling around in the dirt." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
