I think the worst accent, in my experience as a receptionist to work with is:

2018-06-03 15:18:16 UTC  

mumbling arabic woman who's already frustrated that none of the signs in canada are in arabic: the accent

2018-06-03 15:18:31 UTC  

bonus points if she's with her four kids who evidently dhsould know english but don't for some fucking reason

2018-06-03 15:18:32 UTC  

There was this girl who sounded like she had an irish accent, but he was able to tell her the small island she was from that I think was off of canada or somewhere else that is a group of people who have that kind of accent that sounds irish, but he was able to hear other inflections within it. Apparently he'd also traveled the world too for his study to help recognize different languages.

Wow I actually know what your talking about that's kinda scary.

2018-06-03 15:18:51 UTC

I don't wanna dox my ass but I work in a pretty big sports complex

2018-06-03 15:19:05 UTC  

and within the complex is a YMCA

2018-06-03 15:19:10 UTC  

but they're seperate companies and we have shit signage

2018-06-03 15:19:23 UTC  

so we get people every fucking week looking to sign up to the Y but don't know where to go and I have to try and walk em through it

2018-06-03 15:19:34 UTC  

about a third of the time they pretend they understand, get lost and come back

2018-06-03 15:19:39 UTC  

but the place is basically a straight line?

2018-06-03 15:20:01 UTC  

had one lady ask me for an arabic translator and I was thinkin

2018-06-03 15:20:18 UTC

2018-06-03 15:20:23 UTC

I get that new langauges are hard after a certain age, I really do, but for fuck's sake...

2018-06-03 15:21:14 UTC  

When I was driving out west on my way out I passed through a town called Wawa I seen a sign that said 20 km and in 20 km I saw a sign that said in 20 km and then 20km later I saw a sign that said in 20 km and then in 1 km I was in the town. Sometimes in Canada I feel like they just need to sign that says haha get fucked

2018-06-03 15:22:25 UTC  

...Wot

2018-06-03 15:24:18 UTC  

Yep 4 signs all claiming to be 20km outside the town one after the other.

2018-06-03 15:24:43 UTC  

Last one was 1 km out side town all in a straight line

2018-06-03 15:26:07 UTC  

Found out later the reason is cuz the town keeps getting wiped out by floods so they keep moving it 20 km over but they never removed the signs

2018-06-03 15:26:27 UTC  

It's the town with the like 18 foot tall wooden Goose last flood that hit it floated away

2018-06-03 15:26:34 UTC  

That's fucking hilarious

I'm just in #SouthDetroit Canada waiting to finish college so I can go on a good road trip

2018-06-03 15:27:04 UTC  

and figure out somewhere else I'd like to settle for a whiel

2018-06-03 15:27:31 UTC  

Well just don't settle in Wawa cuz if you do you're going to be moving 20 km every year XD

2018-06-03 15:27:42 UTC  

, if it keeps migrating like this one day that'll end up in Thunder Bay

2018-06-03 15:34:17 UTC  

I figured out the guy I was talking about just before was Thinking Ape

2018-06-03 15:36:32 UTC  

He used to do the pin point exactly where someone was from to the city or region specifically, no matter where they were from in the world, as soon as a brand new person would join voice chat and talk

2018-06-03 15:39:43 UTC  

so basically he is a stalker?

2018-06-03 15:41:17 UTC  

Lol

2018-06-03 15:41:18 UTC  

Not really, he didn't have to put any effort into it. He just listened to someone's voice and was able to within a couple seconds think about where they are from, fair enough if it was something like a new york accent or a welsh accent or something that is more known, but he was able to do it with little known accents

2018-06-03 15:41:26 UTC  

@Kraut Can you come to VC?

2018-06-03 15:41:43 UTC  

Huh. the robut is in VC

2018-06-03 15:42:06 UTC  

@King Canuck he leaves if anyone else joins

2018-06-03 15:42:18 UTC  

...

2018-06-03 15:42:20 UTC  

Why?

2018-06-03 15:42:28 UTC
