Be me (middle aged white woman, not that it matters)

Be homeowner

Be part of HOA

Not really a huge fan but kinda hard to avoid these days

whatever.jpg

HOA pays for lawn care, so there's that

there's supposed to be an area that they won't touch if they see you planted your own stuff

think it would be cool to grow some flowers

Go up to lawncare guy and ask about it

Looks confused, doesn't speak English

I get it, not his fault

Asked four guys now, all don't speak English

Kinda frustrated, but again I get it

see white guy (super pale)

Assume that he's from America because we live in Virginia

Go up to him, tell him I'm happy I found someone who can speak English

Looks at me and takes in what I'm saying. Seems like he can understand me

starts speaking dutch

Whatever.jpg

Go inside

Husband asks me what's wrong

Gladthatheshere.jpg

tell him everything

Tells me to not worry. He'll go outside and won't stop until he finds someone

sosweet.jpg

Comes back about thirty minutes later

"Yeah most of them didn't speak English, but there was one guy who was super helpful. Turns out he's a university student making some cash over the summer "

"He's actually from Holland, isn't that weird?"

mfw.

Karen jokes are for boys that want to be openly sexist and hate women that they're not attracted to (middle age). Then they specify she's white so they can't be perceived as racist.

She may not be a Karen. The story is intentionally vague enough to simply indicate exasperation at a language barrier, and the person you replied to is the only one who noticed.

The story is vague, but the title is not.

I like the its-actually-not-a-karen viewpoint, but you did set a certain view on the story by giving it that title, there's no denying that.

Very intentionally, yes, as I was certain that it would appeal to Lemmy's superiority complex. I wondered how long it would take for a single comment to point out the assumption, and the answer was 12 hours. No presumption of innocence here. I don’t really have a horse in this race, I just like baiting and seeing what bites.

What about Belgian chocolate? Is it real or am I being ripped off?

Flandersization.

It started off real but now it's basically a parody of itself.

For sure there's good Belgian chocolate, those seashells are just not one of them.

Sugary grainy praline.

There are only two things I can't stand in this world; people who are intolerant of other people's culture, and the Dutch.

Héél stiekem, terwijl we zo heel stilletjes in ons hoofd engels praten zo.

Nederlands is een echte taal. Je kan mij alles vragen en zal reageren in het Nederlands.

Being able to communicate to other people is sort of an important thing that could feel frustrating.

Whenever someone says that to me I automatically switch over to my very limited Spanish. They will get no quarter from me.

You should have said to her, "Eh güey, chinga tu madre, pinche pandejo!"

26
lemmy.ca

The word is actually pendejo, with an e. Pandejo sounds like you're trying to make a bread-based pun, like dickbread instead of head

dungarees?

You mean overalls? Overalls are perfect for outdoor labor because you won't get straw or bugs or pig shit sneaking down your pants or up your back,. No belt means less chance to get caught on machinery or something to pull your life out.
