Sadly, I've had customers cry and whine because someone else in line is OMG talking in another language. Stop the presses, hold your horses! This inevitably starts a customer tirade. And it's always a rant aimed at the nicest and most polite customers. Personally, I choose who to dislike based an whether or not you're an asshole. This lady qualifies.

I've had that happen sometimes, too, and quite often I'll defuse it by pointing out, "When they talked to me, they spoke English. Frankly, I don't care what language they speak amongst themselves as long as they can talk to me in a language I understand."Quoth bainsidhe View Post

I had a co-irker once, however, who pissed off a lot of us when he started ranting at another coworker for speaking Spanish... said CW was on her break, in the break room, talking on her cell phone.PWNADE(TM) - Serve up a glass today! | PWNZER - An act of pwnage so awesome, it's like the victim got hit by a tank.

I only have a problem with that when they're talking to me, at which point I inform them of their error.Quoth bainsidhe View Post
On the other hand, although I do not speak a second language, I do know a small selection of phrases in other languages. Saying "thank you" or "goodbye" in the language you just overheard frequently produces some startled expressions on the faces of people who thought they were having a private conversation in their language."I don't have to be petty. The Universe does that for me."Comment

And that new-fangled "rap" music!!!Quoth Victoria J View Post
Of ALL the things to try and blame Muslims for that takes the cake. Though a racist nut like that probably holds them responsible for alcohol misuse and young girls dressing too provacatively.
