I can't win.


In Canada, some storekeepers assume I don't speak English and therefore speak much louder than usual and like to eeennnuunciate their words in hopes that I will understand what they're saying.

In Hong Kong, storekeepers assume I don't speak Cantonese (or that I'm an idiot) and therefore speak much louder than usual and enunciate their words in hopes that I will understand what they're saying.

I really can't win, can I?
