On her Facebook wall, Cindy writes: “So, I love my sparkly golden toes, but due to a language barrier I almost smacked the guy doing my pedicure. He said, “You have affair?” I beg your pardon, says I. “You have affair?” he repeats. Absolutely, not! I reply. Seeing my outrage, the gal working next to him said, “He wants to know if you go to Fair.” Oh well. Same answer, but I’m glad I didn’t kick him in the nose.
Question: Have you ever had a misunderstanding as a result of a language barrier?
