In this thread we can talk about misunderstandings with people who aren't from English speaking countries. Here is a story to start us off-
I work at a pizza joint with a man from Jordan who has been in the USA for about two years. I don't know if he is muslim or not, but for the sake of funny we will assume he is.
A few days ago we had a bunch of cancelled orders, and after the rush is over we start eating them. This guy comes over looking like he wants a bite:
Foreign Friend: "What you eat over here?"
Coworkers: "Oh we have a few different bad orders here, help yourself."
Our Jordanian friend procedes to open the 3 boxes one after another -
FF: "Oh bacon, I cannot eat."
FF: "Oh is ham, I cannot eat."
FF: "Ah pepperoni!"
He noms away at the pepperoni pizza ravenously. No one wanted to tell him what pepperoni is made from.
So SE++, tell me your foreigner confusion stories!

Teenagers are stupid.
Yeah, not the greatest stuff to hear when you're seven.
Not funny in the slightest, but the only store I have worth sharing I guess.
You have deprived that poor man of his virgins.
You son of a bitch.
should've expected it from you fucking white devils
STEAM!
Some people prefer sausage or canadian bacon for instance.
Virgins are kind of like anchovies. Most people hate them, but the people that like them love them to death.
You are correct.
Cause seriously, it really is
i counter with beyonce
she is the best thing ever at this moment in time
How bout Beyonce feeding you bacon?

Whatever floats your boat man
the darker the berry the sweeter the juice!
And man grew ever closer to his ascension into divinity.
Plus she has a big ass
my amour is to low
someone asked if he was sayin he had low armour cos what the hell his health was fine and the guy said
i hav no bulet
hilarity
better than going to a buffet man
Just saying
Its pretty glorious
He (the other guy) was sitting there in the first mission, killing that first batch of soldiers, and the game directed him to the lift door on the other side of the room.
The game presented him with the following message. (Loosely quoted)
(In order to open lift doors, press the O button rapidly)
X to close
So this idiot spent like two full minutes just hammering O with that prompt still open. He was getting so pissed off at this game, saying shit like how do they expect people to do this? I'm doing it as fast as I can and it's not even budging? and similar things.
Finally I think he accidentally hit the X button and got out of it. But later I was laughing at it so hard that I had to lie down.
Just say "Hit x my friend."
Where's the fun in that?
and i dunno if it was because she said it so earnestly or because i was underslept and in a pc lab at uni late at night but i couldnt stop laughing at that for a few minutes
I used to have that sigged, for a reason.
Turns out beliefs like this aren't entirely exagerrated. In backward enough countries people will fucking believe anything. There's some kind of group in the middle east (I think it's 'Drows'?) that believe some combination of both Christianity and Islam. Anyway it is generally believed that they are some sort of sub-human like a neanderthal and that they are strictly cannibals.
A muslim friend of mine was at some gathering and some fresh-off-the-boat middle-easterners were hanging out and this one guy started talking in ominous, hushed tones about these "Drows" when suddenly his parent's friends spoke up and said, "Um, excuse me but, we're Drows."
He said the look on the man's face was not one of embarassment, but one of total fear that he was about to be eaten.
I made a TD for iphone and windows phone!
Do they live underground and worship a spider goddess?
better check on him
