Room Service, originally uploaded by: joshpelman
Imagine yourself on the phone. You checked-in the hotel in another country and no one speaks better English. You dialed Room Service and the conversation starts like this…
Room Service: “Morny, rune sore-brees” (Morning, room service).
You: “Oh sorry, I thought I dialed room service.”
RS: “Rye. Rune sore-brees. Morny. Jewish to odor sunteen?” (Right. Room Service. Do you wish to order something?)
You: “Yes, I want to order something. This is room thirteen-oh-five. I want…”
RS: “Okay, torino-fie. Yes plea?” (Ok, 1305. Yes, please?)
You: “I’d like some bacon and eggs…”
RS: “Ow July then”? (Oh, do you like them?)
You: “What?”
RS: “Aches. July then? Pry, boy, pooch…?” (Alright, how do you like them? Fry, boiled, —..?)
You: “Oh, eggs! How do I like them? Sorry. Scrambled, please.”
RS: “Ow July thee baycome? Crease?” (Oh do you like bacon and crisp?)
You: “Crisp will be fine.”
RS: “Okay. An Santos”? (Ok, and toast?).
You: “Uh… I don’t know… I don’t think so.”
RS: “No? Judo one toes?” (No? Do you want toast?)
You: “Look, I really feel bad about this, but I just don’t know what judo-one-toes means. I’m sorry….”
RS: “Toes! Toes! Why Jew Don Juan toes? Oh bow eenlish mopping we bother?” (Toast! Toast! Why Jew Don Juan toes? How about english muffin?)
You: “English muffin! I’ve got it. Toast! You were saying toast! Fine. An English muffin will be fine.”
RS: “We bother”? (With butter?)
You: “No. Just put the ‘bother’ on the side.”
RS: “Wad?” (What?)
You: “I’m sorry. I mean butter. Butter on the side.”
RS: “Copy”? (Coffee?)
You: “I feel terrible about this but…”
RS: “Copy, copy, tea, mill…..” (Coffee, coffee, tea, milk…)
You: “Coffee!! Yes, coffee please. And that’s all”.
RS: (Repeating the order) “One minnie. Ass rune torino-fie, strangle-aches, crease baycome, tossy eenlish mopping we bother honey sigh, and copy. Rye?”
You: “Whatever you say.”
RS: “Okay. Tenjeberrymud”.
You: “Oh for crying out loud”!
RS: “Wad?”
You hanged up the phone: KA-BLAG!
lol. i remember back in my call center days, i was temporarily assigned to the singapore tech support hotline of toshiba. it’s really a bit hard to understand what they’re saying. good thing they’re really very polite.
Wow a tech support - that sounds pretty challenging job albeit hard and needs a lot of patience by simply talking/explaining to costumers what’s this or that.
I on the other hand, have difficulties to train someone who doesn’t speak much English. But well, sign-language is fun in a way, afterall.
Hahahahahahahaha… Oh my goodness K!
This is really hilarious. If I was laughing like crazy with the last entry, I was laughing more this time, with sound effects pa. Sumakit ulo at panga ko sa katatawa a. Ay naku, pag ako talaga yan, sigurado talagang wala akong maiintindihan. Susme…
Have a nice weekend!
Sofie, I’m sorry if it did make you laugh - how ironic if your butt prevented you to release the toxic gas out of your system? Remember, a hearty laughter can keep the heart attack away, innit? Hahaha.
arrrgh. kaya nga yung tunay kong pangalan nag morph din nung asa bangkok ako e… kasi hindi nila masabi. kakatawa na nakakainis na nakakapikon na nakaka… harump
Kup Krun Kup? I don’t know if I pronounced it correctly.
One time I had this conversation on the phone with a Sales Representative. she said, “Hello, I’d like to speak to Mr blank blank”. I replied, “yep it’s me, K, speaking”. Then she paused for a second, “No, it’s Mr…., are you”? I was like what the…. I said “its me”. And she went like, “your name is….” then I realized, I gave her my blog name ‘knoizki’ pala. Hahahaha.
Ah i need to laugh, thanks for providing just that!
email me your snail-mail addy, ja? and K, have a good weekend, take care
Thess, take it easy - I know how you feel about your friend…. “life is sometimes not fair” some people normally would say. Remember what Grump once said, “life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you’re gonna get”. Think of salad days, ‘they were folly and fun - they were good, they were young.’
nyahahaha bizit ang kulet LOL!!!Maka pag Mac Do na lang kung ganyan kakulet kausap ko aga aga!:D
