My (19m) brother, (24m) loves travelling with his gf and acting cultured. They’re the type of people to go to Italy and try to pronounce Mozzeralla correctly, and mess it up horribly, or try to talk to locals like they’re a local or something and they mess it up horrible because its pretty obvious their tourists. Now for the story.

Me, my brother and some of his friends were playing poker, and having friendly conversations, bringing up stories, the likes. And my brother who recently came back from Sri Lanka brought up how a local “harrased” his gf when they tried to buy something at a shop, and she told the elderly lady there the price was wrong and that she wanted the real local price, and apparently she didn’t have great english so his gf was “working” with her trying to get the price right and some guy at the back of the shop got up and told her to fuck off, in what he says was definitely American english. She said excuse me, and he got up in her face and told her that he wasn’t gonna let someone speak to his grandma like that and told her to leave. And my brother who was on a call immediately hung up and tried to defend her and he got up in his face too apparently and lifted his shirt to show a switch blade and told them to leave, too which he did.

I chuckled a little, because the idea he was aboutta fight a dude in his own country IN HIS OWN CITY, AT HIS OWN SHOP, was a little funny. and before he could start yellin and askin me why, I said bro you kinda deserved it. He said “excuse me”. I said well you got in an old ladies face and argued over what, maybe like a dollar usd or something. He said, we did our research, we know the price was wrong. I said idk man but getting in an old ladies face and yelling at her in a language she doesnt understand is kinda wild. He said yk what, just get out. I said “excuse me” he said yeah, get outta my house, grabbed my cash out of the pit ( we werent rlly playing each chip was cash, but whoever got the most chips would win the cash and we put in 20 bucks each), shoved it into my face and kicked me out. He’s left me on delivered and I’m starting to think I over-reacted
