Before I continue let me state that I am of Asian descent and am proud of my heritage. BUT sometimes, immigrants DO frustrate me.
I currently am at UCLA taking summer school and working as a lab proctor for the on campus computer labs (labs in the dorms). In the summer, the majority of dorm residents are high school students or foreign exchange students, mostly Korean (there's a big chunk of a Korean university here) or French.
These students are lacking in their ENglish skills, and part of my job is to create accounts for these dorm residents.
Here's how one conversation one last night went
Girl (speaking korean as she comes up to the counter): ex-kiss me, me no can go on computa
Me: Uhh, do you have an account?
Girl: HAH?!
Me: uh.. do... you... have... an... account?
Girl: Oh, i have accont!
At this point I am relieved and continue to go on AIM, then she says this:
Girl: Bank of America?!?!
Wasn't funny at the time but looking back it was pretty funny
