maybe it IS a good thing he doesn't wear a kilt then.

the spotty teenager who served me in a McDonalds on the NY State Thruway yesterday morning correctly placed my accent first time - but then blew it slightly by following up with "so you must love the Spice Girls".

That whole post made me Spotty teenager. Ha!!!

Sometimes I'm just convinced people have no clue what to say. In which case, most of us have learned maybe don't say anything at all - but I swear I think the accent makes them go all loopy and logic goes out the window. Nearly EVERY time hubby and I go anywhere, someone will say 'I could listen to him talk all day long'. I can practically see their eyes glaze over - all reason is lost at that point. LOL

DH got the usual "love your accent" from the gals at his new job, BUT yesterday one of the guys said he liked it. DH replied no offense, but you're the first man that's made that comment.

Yeah I should have made clear - WOMEN tell him that everywhere we go. LOl Men just ask where he's from and if he wants to go back or stay here (or something similar).

He does go running a few days a week so the women get to see him in shorts! Last year this woman who used to see him all the time asked if he'd like to be her"running partner". He said he said he was married and she got mad and ran off! LOL

Glad he is working!!!!

"Running partner" ?? That sounds perfectly innocent & above-board. They could have timed each other, warmed up together etc. Would have been good for his performance.

He doesn't need help with his performance! LOL. He said she was definately interested in being more than his running partner !

A long time back I had a co-worker (young woman) who was married to a semi-pro hockey player. I wouldn't have described him as handsome, but he was tall, muscular, and had a 70s pornstache... apparently when he went out with his teammates after games, the women at the bar would throw themselves at him and were thoroughly pissed off when they saw the ring

As a pretty bartender I get hit on at work as well. I take it with a grain of salt but being attractive does help get good tips!

Forgot to ask that someone else asked where he was from and he said Scotland and they said "Oh really where in Poland are you from?"

me too, AND he got a call from a different company which although an additional 30 miles, possibly, hopefully more money. We'll see what they say next week.

I get that a lot too (quite embarrassing sometimes if I was honest). I often think I should test them on that hypothesis though - I guarantee after 5 minutes of me prattling on they'd be reaching for the hankie to stuff in my mouth!

My hubby is a blabbermouth by nature so they may regret saying that. He normally says something like 'I'll bring the dictionary next time and read from it'. Of course all they focus on is his pronunciation of 'dictionary'.

This claim will require evidence in the form of pictures.
