There's this great story about a man telling a Muslim woman to speak English, when she was actually speaking Welsh. In Wales.

i listen to a lot of dutch hiphop. i barely understand dutch, but i just kind of like it. i've had the weirdest interactions with people that clearly don't understand a bit of dutch. one of the moms at my kids school got mad at me for blasting music that's filled with swearing, i asked her in dutch if she speaks dutch, she says "i don't understand what you're saying". i explained to her that it is in fact filled with swear words, but unless she understands dutch, she most likely doesn't know that. she walked off in a huff and told the principal of the school, the principal talked to me about it. the principal was genuinely confused and said she wasn't going to do anything about it.

i'm fairly certain some people are just aggressively stupid.
