A few years ago I was going around town with this Chinese girl I was semi dating at the time. Now this girl’s first language is mandarin, second language is english, third language is French. So obviously to alleviate the conversation I speak English. We’re in the bus and some old fuck walks all the way back to where we’re sitting and asks us to leave the bus. Now there’s a lot of tardbots in the bus system so I tend to ignore them but this guy gets really mad and starts going on a rant about how the bus is for “QUEBECOIS” only and our dirty English asses don’t belong on here. I was just about to stand up and bitch at him in French to shut his old ass up when my companion had a better idea. She proceeded to yell, and I mean SHOUT, at him not in French, not in English, but in Mandarin. Like she was going NUTS on him. I have no clue what the fuck she said to him, she refused to to translate for my benefit afterwards but whatever it was, although it wasn’t understood, it had its effect. The old man rang the bell and got off asap even though I’m 95% convinced it wasn’t his stop.
There’s one story I really wish I could remember. I don’t remember how it got to that point but the only thing still clear in my mind is a random stranger at the mall yelling at me because the Americans stole Harry Potter from the Quebecois.
Less reps, more sets, higher weight, imo.
Works like a charm, for me.
dafuq, niggas tryin to cosplay yujiro or something
Got one more for you Guru before I go to bed.
So I’m in University now. I got to Laval University. It’s a primarily French university that happens to offer certain programs in English. Right now I’m taking the English Business degree but until last semester I was in English Lit (until I finished it). So a few years ago when I applied for the program, I had been several years out of school so I had to apply as an adult student. Not only that but I didn’t have a High School diploma to attach to my application since I left the US after my Junior year which is grade 11 and by then, by Quebec format, you’re done with High school. So instead I had to provide a whole bunch of extra paperwork, including my high school transcript and my current resume to see the kind of work I’ve been doing for the last few years instead of being in class.
Now I’m applying for “ENGLISH LIT” so obviously I send the English version of my resume right? (I have both French and English versions just in case).
I send everything in. Months later I still haven’t heard back from them. It’s a couple of weeks before the semester starts and I still haven’t been able to choose my classes. I take a morning off of work to go see them since their offices are opened about 3 hours a day. I wait in line, get my turn and get referred to the woman who handled my application. This is her answer (all in french of course)
“WE ARE A FRENCH UNIVERSITY SIR. WE DID NOT ACCEPT YOUR ENGLISH RESUME AND WILL ONLY ACCEPT A FRENCH ONE!” I’m putting caps because this bitch was mad.
Obviously not as mad as I was. After yelling back about how it was her responsibility to tell me I was missing paperwork over 3 months ago AND that the resume was for the head of my department (whose French is terrible) it’s really none of her damn business to throw away important documents I sent them without my written permission. My complaint worked so damn well they never charged me the Application processing fee.
You should have billed them your morning’s pay, too.

Dat Quebec pride. You’d think their pride was for an actual country, not some tiny-ass province everyone but them hates.
I made 42 million gold so far in Diablo 3 today, which is like 80$ equivalent.YEAH! MF RUNS AREN’T DONE YET, BITCHES!
I bagged this chicks number that I met at a party the other day. I’m gonna hit her up tomorrow. She has a wacky, outgoing personality and is a lot of fun to be around, which is my type. It also helps that she’s like an 8/10 with big ass TATTIES! She also smokes weed on occasion which is a plus. It’s too bad I don’t have any right now, because getting chicks high helps speed things along if you know what I’m saying.
I found out I’ll be getting a new job soon in a few weeks.
:lol: That must’ve been something. The fact that you’ve encountered many situations like those ones is pretty fucked up.
Thankfully I’ve never encountered anything that hostile. The closest I’ve come across is at interviews, on airplanes, at clubs…basically places where the person knows your full name before or just before meeting them. If they’re Francophone most will naturally assume I am too. I can pass by on a plane where I have to make next to no conversation, but at an interview god forbid I say "Je ne parle pas français."
That look of utter disgust I get before they begrudgingly switch to English looks very similar to this: :bluu:
How long does getting 42 mil gold take in D3? You said “today” so like 5-6-9 hours?
I wonder if REAL French people are that big of assholes.
I mean, I know they are said to be big assholes.
But are they KayBeckyAnne redneck retard?
