Good-ah morning-ah!

Something very strange happened to me once. o___O;
Right, you know those annoying salespeople that come to your door and try and get you to buy something to the point of despereation?
Well one of them came to my house. [This was a while ago]
So it went something like this:

Me: "Um..Hi can I help you?"
SalesP: "Nee...nee..Howie mah [Attempting to say "How are you?" in Mandarin]"
Me: "....o___O"
SalesP: "neah yoahe m- mai [Do you want to buy..]"
Me: "Umm....I speak rather fluent English thanks..."
SalesP: "Oh. Can you just let me finish? I'm trying to practise my Chinese."

So I stood there for what seemed like half an hour listening to a salesperson butcher my language.
Oh it was worse than Algerbra.
In the end I just said no thank you, and politely shut the door at his face.

Any weird salespeople come your door? Or those telemarketers?

Ehh, we get a few of those salespeople, but mainly we only get telemarketers. o_o;

But when there IS a salesperson, my mum puts on her FOB accent (as if it wasn`t FOB enough already) and starts talking in a language that even I don`t understand.

Just no open your door if you see some person standing out there you dunno, easier to do that lol. If it's too late, tell em "already bought it" and close the door on them. Ignore the deleted thing, I messed up the post which was supposed to say all that up there.

One time, I was at my friends house.

One of those sales people came in and he was Mexican speaking mandarin to my friend.

Then my friend decided to speak Spanish saying Spanish was his main language.

Funny at first, then it was awkward :o
