Thread: Study: Rudeness toward Foreign Visitors

Hi CCUSA, well, at least you're from Tony Soprano country

I got this idea from a TV show. A foreign national pretends to not understand English. OK, fine, you allow for that, a short time passes.
At a later opportunity you quietly say to him, "your fly is open."

Then you know he understands English. I think I saw that on the Sci Fi channel.

That's a good test Coto.

If I ever have to test someones English language, I'll try to remember to ask them.

Hi Neese, I definately agree and feel bad about what happened to you. They are letting in alot of cultures that are mysoginist(hope I spelled that right) into the country. Women struggled awfully hard for civil rights and equal treatment. They should screen people before allowing them in. American women are not here to be mistreated.

Coto, your too funny with the Tony Saprano joke! New Jersey has alot of corruption and not only with the criminals it seems.

I was in that room for 2 hours. Since they could not get anything from me they let me go.

I find this really hard to believe. Was this at an airport?
