It’s such a given;
“I grew up in Saudi Arabia.”
“Cool! Can you speak Arabic?”
I hate it when I’m asked that question. How many times do I have to explain to people that the environment I grew up in, didn’t involve any interaction with the locals in that country.
It’s funny how people can get sooo consistent in asking that question.
Another consistent question;
“Whoah, so you lived in the desert?”
Dammit. Where’d you grow up? And along comes a long series of smart ass comments from yours truly that most of the time leads into more stupid questions and a bad first impression of me.
No, I’m not like that all the time. But I just hate stupid questions. I wanna be the only one in the world that is allowed to ask them. No questions asked.
