    But please don’t try that with bilinguals. We may not understand you but we have plenty of experience knowing what a foreign language sounds like.

    I’ve had two people pull that shit on me and all they did was lose my respect for thinking I’m that stupid.

      While I get what you’re saying, I’m not sure whether people who are pretending to speak another language in order to avoid talking to you really care after they have your respect.

        What’s funny is that one of them did it while their friend was introducing us to seem interesting, I guess, and the other time was out on the street where an older guy was tipsy drinking in public, pulling at my arm, trying to grab my attention while I was about to cross the street. I don’t know what was up with either of them, to be honest. Both happened in the same week, and never again.

      so like, the people it works on, aren’t going to be bilingual people, generally. especially if you happen to be a white dude. But it is fun to fuck with a certain crowd.

        Oh, that’s why I’m saying it, they didn’t know I’m bilingual! So make sure you know first. 😅
