It personally irks me to the bone when a main land Chinese person who can't speak English makes fun of someone else who tries to speak English to him.
I was in the line at a chicken rice stall during lunch time yesterday, in front of me was a Indian man who was desperately trying - using hand gestures - to make his order across to the stall holders. The stall assistant was a mainland Chinese fellow whilst the obvious in charge was a Singaporean (judgement all based on accents). The stall assistant completely ignored the Indian man when he started speaking and proceeded to clean parts of the stall. He then started to make fun of and laugh at the Indian man with the stall owner. He then decided to pull me in for the fun and asked me to translate his order into mandarin.
What is this nonsense?
