My current job requires me to entertain people of all races. Mainly Chinese, Indians, Bangladesh-es, Thais, Myanmeses and Malays.
Dont ask me what I am working as. I wont tell you that my job requires me to sit at the desk and smile like an idiot to people who half the time dont understand a single fuck I am talking about.
Take for today as an example. Mr Indian With A Mole came in and requested for some changes. After half an hour of chicken-talking-to-duck conversation, I finally settled his case.
I tried explaining to him the details. One thing I dont understand is why he must keep shaking his head from left to right. I thought he didnt get what I was saying. So I tried explaining clearer, this time breaking my fake-chim-chim ang moh into simple english broken up into pieces.
Again he keep shaking his head left to right. But this time he was saying "yes, yes"
Nah beh Tamagochi~ I thought saying yes was suppose to be a nodding action. Why must Mr Indian act so extra?
Ok, it's still working hours. Time to get back to smiling like an idiot.

Maybe he's got a medical condition that causes him to shake his head uncontrollably. Haha...
Hmmm, I have such clients too. So, the tactic is to listen carefully. CONCENTRATE!
