Me: trying to buy medicine in Japan.
Cashier: What symptoms do you have?
Me: Coughing.
Cashier: Dry cough or wet cough.
Me: .....competitive cough.
Cashier pauses.
Me: I mean aggressive.
Cashier now visibly fighting for her life professionally.
she pulls out translator app.
Translator: His cough seeks victory.
Cashier: "..."
Friend in another aisle collapsing silently.
Cashier finally hands me medicine very carefully like she's handling a dangerous animal.
then she bows and says: Please defeat your cough.
I almost cried laughing in the store.
What’s the worst thing you've ever said accidentally while traveling?
my fellow EU otaku, while you’re radicalizing yourselves, don’t forget that just a couple months ago the EU illegally voted to legalize scanning all of our private communication and feeding it to AI :-)
@Bela_Neumann@hua_chonker@aozora_one Rich people can private jet through the world and pollute the climate however they want, but God forbid I want an Anime Package. We have to discourage this disgusting wastefull behaviour of mine. So true. I am glad the EU is stopping me.
I'm so pissed with the EU taxation and fees of non-eu imports....why tf do i have to pay 70€ on shipping and import for like 40€ wort of items? How is this fucking sustainable?
All because they supposedly want to encourage ppl buying their shein and temu crap from qithin the EU....but if you have to pay 5€ for a t-shirt + 10€ import you STILL pay less than the 30€ - 50€ said t-shirt costs here. The only ones being punished are ppl buying things THEY CAN'T GET IN THE EU.
I already buy at local businesses if I can...you don't need to take away the little joy I find in buying merch of my favs that i can't get any other way...thanks for nothing, really
