Foreigners talking about you in their own language

Fago! · 16-10-2011 05:26PM #1

Ever get the feeling that foreign people are making fun of you in their own language - right in front of you?

Right now I'm in work in the canteen. There's a group of eastern european coworkers at the next table and they'd talking in their own language for a bit, then they'd look over at me or one of the other lads and start laughing. Very unsettling.

I do this with my Swedish friends all the time, it's kinda fun.:D:pac:

If Irish was taught better in schools you'd be able to look at the foreign lads, make a comment in Irish and then laugh your arses off.

You could still say something like "Is maith liom cáca milis" and laugh. It's not like they'd no any better anyway.

Yeah I get this from time to time. Best way to deal with it is start muttering to yourself then after a minute of that look at them and start laughing hysterically.

Try living in a country where you don't speak the language!

I get that feeling all the time.

Wish they'd feck off back to their own country! :mad:

Next time they are chatting in native close by, turn sharply and look at one of them, then turn back quickly (as if you've 'forgotten' you don't understand). With luck, you will have good timing and have looked just at an interesting point in the conversation, and they will start to suspect you speak their language after all...

Saila · 16-10-2011 05:38PM

The world revolves around me. It couldn't have been you they were talkiing about - it was me.
They have nothing else to talk about you know.

The Scientician · 16-10-2011 06:00PM

Just turn around to them and shout "DURKAH DURKAH JIHAD!"

16-10-2011 06:01PM

Eat your feces when they look over again.

Will soon shut them up.

Birneybau · 16-10-2011 06:04PM

The doll is trying to kill me and the toaster's been laughing at me!

dj jarvis · 16-10-2011 06:10PM

you should find out what " i have dug a grave for you all " is in their lingo - say it to them - wink and walk away whistling the imperial march from star wars

or you could put your clothes on and they will stop laughing at you

i would go for option 1

stupidusername · 16-10-2011 06:10PM

I tore ligament in my knee before, but it happened while I was out in a nightclub, and so the staff panicked, and the girls that were dealing with me were speaking to each other in polish, I was a little drunk so of course I said why are you talking to each other in another language!? they said it's just easier. i'm sure they were really saying I'd fat knees. bitches.

kfallon · 16-10-2011 06:18PM

I hate when they do it on TV, an English speaking show but some guy insists on speaking 'foreign' and they don't put up subtitles, you have no real idea whats going on and it's infuriating. This guy was the worst for it imo.....
