Weird Homophobic Dunkin Donuts Experience Today
Edited on Fri Sep-15-06 02:34 PM by lionesspriyanka
So my gf and i went to dunkin donuts today for breakfast. She has been going to the same place for almost 1.5 years now. The women who work there are all from bangladesh and at some point a few weeks ago they realized that i speak the same language as them.

Anyhow this is the conversation that took place with one of them in Bengali:

DD Woman: WHO is she to you?

Me: errr (it was early in the morning and i was confused as to why she was asking...we were clearly holding hands and being all mushy so i didnt really even understand what she was going for)

DD Woman: Well she looks like a boy but could be a girl....so which one is she .... boy or girl?

ME: GIRL

DD Woman: then what are you doing with her?

ME: Err..... (and i realized i cant say DATING in bengali so i said i love her instead)

7. Ooo! I'd love to be there to see her expression when you tell her

24. You can't or
there's no equivalent Bengali phrase? That would seem to be a pretty unique shortcoming of a language. :)

26. There *is* an equivalent phrase, but
I'm not going to go there...swearing is taken much more seriously.

Ironically, my grandmother is the only one I know who's uttered it. I know what the words are, but I don't know the literal translation because my mother refused to tell me (this was ten years ago, and she still won't do it :()

10. I"ll never understand why some people can't mind their own damn business!

Maybe she was looking for inspiration for her life.

I hope you bring your gf to have a drink with us next Friday night.

13. that reminds me of a joke
A guy goes into this resturant and as he is sitting at the counter next to this other guy, the other guy orders a hamburger. The waitress gives the order to the cook which they can both see from the counter and the big hairy greasy foul looking cook picks up some fresh hamburger meat and begins to make a patty. Just as he is finishing he takes his left arm and raises it up exposing a very hairy armpit places the unfinished patty of hamberger meat and flattens it by bringing his arm down and crushing the patty of meat between the inside of his bicep and his arm pit. He takes it out and throws it on the grill. The two guys look at each other in astonishment and disgust and call the waitress over. "Did you see what that cook did? My god I think I am going to vomit," the guy says. "O," says the waitress, "that is not so bad you should see how he makes donuts."

27. Oh there's plenty of homophobia in NYC. My GF can't go shopping...
for girly clothes with me. (She's Butch.) Every time we go there's a ruckus of some sort. Security gave her a bunch of shit today when we went. It's always the same bullshit. Very tiring.
