So when I was to getting out, I passed this s.o.b. and let HIM feel right between 🍑 the purse. His reaction! Hilarious! First turning around red of anger ready to punch “the guy“ in the face, and looking first shocked at me, recognising he did that same thing to me a few minutes ago, he flushed and got soooooo small! 💪 possibly he still wonders “how damn good my sirgeon was, who changed me to woman“ but left something from the past 😂😂😂😂 Never being sure of what it was.

It's strange how that big little secret is little known outside Japan. Mostly the positive features of the society filter out. And if negatives do come out (like the long toxic work culture), it's usually seen as a positive fault.

I definitely accidentally said some hurtful things to people when I was young, just because I literally didn’t think before I spoke or didn’t understand the gravity or implications of my words. Have wrongly and unfairly judged people as well. I can remember a handful of occasions like that where I really stuck my foot in my mouth or hurt someone with my judgement and words on accident when I was young. The shame I remember is uncomfortable for sure but honestly, I try not to hold it against myself. I was young and still learning. Yes those moments were bad and make me embarrassed to remember but I think overall I learned to be more conscious of my words, give people a chance and try my best to not be cruel. The shame is only useful if it allows you to grow for the better, otherwise it’s just useless and self-victimizing really…

i would have left as well just not as politely ... im petty

I speak 3 languages, I am always fkn careful! 😂 i always assume people know what I’m saying bc if this situation and many that happened to friends and family in public place 😅

afrikaans for most they are super nice and never rude!! I had the best experience with them in South Africa but yes humans are humans no one is perfect!!

Hahaha that's a good one. I live in Thailand and guess what? My neighbours are from South Africa and they would have understood it too (I'm from the Netherlands and can understand 80% Afrikaans).

My dad was in Cedar Sinai Hospital, in L.A., very sick. My mom was very depressed and my husband was teasing her, to cheer her up. As we got on the elevator to go his floor, he plucked her kerchief off her head and held it above her so she couldn't reach it. My mom, who never swore, let out a Hungarian swear word and the lady behind her giggled and said. "Oh, you're Magyar!" 😂 SO BUSTED!

Lmao that’s pretty incredible - that dude must’ve felt so incredible being able to turn around and reply lol

it was their "ah-oh" moment

I'm that % of Afrikaans speakers...and she was most probably waiting for South African Airways 🧳 luggage..with other South Africans 😅

Exactly.

Dutch, Flemish, Afrikaans. All mutually intelligible. Flemish is a lot more breathy because the Belgians talk with their mouths full of hot waffle

Afrikaans sounds smoothier than Dutch.

I call it “the invisible man’s sindrome”

I worked internationally for many years. Two things I learned: 1) Watch what you say because there might be someone who understands. 2) As Americans, many are at a loss when it comes to other cultures and especially languages. For example, my parents seldom left their home state and never heard another language until I started learning Spanish.

That Afrikaans sounds like Stellenbosch Afrikaans. I am impressed how she switched from true Afrikaans with accent back to American accent so fluently. No stop or break.

What the guy were saying in Afrikaans was " I understand what you two were saying, okay!!"

In fairness, it would be closer to 50% on your aircraft from South Africa to New York that would speak Africaans!

Who said the plane was coming from SA? Only the destination was mentioned, don't be fooled by her mother being with her as her mother also lives in LA these days, they could just as easily in fact more likely to be flying from LA as Jo'burg or Cape Town

Rule of thumb: Never assume strangers don't know your language nor speak the languages you speak. A similar experience by my older brother enroute to our Asian country though he's already a Canadian citizen, this male airport staff at Vancouver airport was rudely talking to the older Japanese women thinking they didn't know English. My brother who is a Certified Public Accountant, MBA holder from an illustrious university in our country, and used to work at World Health Organization with a high position, faced the Canadian airport staff and told that staff why was he rude and yelling to those women just because the women couldn't understand him. He ought to be helpful because his job was dealing with customer service, and he could leave it for more efficient and helpful staffs. That staff was so red and embarrassed because everything he said was understood by my brother.

Don’t forget how rude the Asian staff are to whites in their nail salons. They have derogatory comments about their customers right in front of them with NO shame.

Dutch people are like: Nice try

Lotsa likes in that conversation! It's like she likes the word like!!

So she gets out of a flight from SA to NY and is surprised someone picking up luggage from the same flight is south african. What a genius

Just lands in NY from Africa... Shocked that someone else who flew from Africa could also be there...😂

In that moment, she became a Vietnamese nail salon worker

Happens along , especially in London

No chance that guy was on the same plane with them coming from SA 😅

To be fair, im swedish i could probably understand the General sentiment of a discussion in afrikaans. Same with german, dutsch, icelandic, norwegian, danish.

You never know... My first fiance and I were carrying on an intimate discussion in Dutch on a flight to Dallas of all places. After we landed, the gentleman sitting next to us stood, grabbed his bag from the overhead, and in perfect Dutch wished us a wonderful life together. Edit: It was thirty-five years ago. Today you can turn Google translator on and get a readout of what somebody next to you is saying.

The captions have abandoned me.

I have a fear of accidentally using the wrong language at the wrong time. My mind thinks in English/Mandarin but sometimes the other language comes out of my mouth.

All you could do is laugh it off and say, "Alright brudda. Yuh catch us."

Afrikaans is a relatively new language. It's based on Dutch, but is not "reversed" anything. There are 11 official languages in South Africa.
