You ignorant, racist, idiot fool!
You phoned customer support for assistant with your issue—and when my co-worker answered your call, and started to resolve your issue, with her slight accent, you rudely and loudly say, “English! I want English!”
Have you just recently crawled out from under your rock? I wonder, how many languages do YOU speak? ONE! English, and you haven’t even mastered it well enough to understand it when spoken with a slight accent! The lady that answered your call has mastered not one, not two, but five, FIVE languages! Mashi, Swahili, Lingala, and BOTH Canada’s official languages, French and English. And SHE could understand every word YOU said! Yet you made up your mind as soon as you heard her accent that you would be an ignorant ass and refused to allow her to take your call.
She answers hundreds of calls each week, and everyone else understands her just fine. Shame on you! It’s your loss, because she is one of the kindest, sweetest people I have ever met. Get educated! Multiculturalism is a distinguishing factor that makes Canada great! Canada’s success in integrating disparate peoples from around the globe through its policies and immigration system has been held up as a model for the world. You, sir, do not contribute to that. Now go crawl back under your rock!

Triggered, Snowflake? Why not open your mind to what this caller was experiencing. Have you not ever struggled to make out what a foreigner was saying? Even if it was in some form of English? Lots of us have. Now that is frustrating. We all have shit to do and place to be. Asking someone to repeat themselves over and over on the phone is down right infuriating. And they mastered 5 languages? Please….spare us the drama. You obviously don’t know much about standards in language comprehension or expression. Oh, wow…look; the tables have turned
“Open your mind to what this caller was experiencing”? You mean having to have a conversation with someone who has an accent? What a triggering experience for this poor sensitive man to go through. He was totally justified in yelling like an asshole. Imagine this poor man having to live in a world that isn’t totally catered to him like every non-white, non-cis, non-male… Like every other person on the planet. Grow up. Awaiting your triggered response because I’m sure you’ll no doubt need to get the last word.
No, Snowflake. I’m good. You go ahead.
You’re living in an “sjw” fantasy world Mr. Lovah Lovah..
Talkin’ BS like “Like every other person on the planet”.. I think you outta take your own advice & “grow up”.. or at least shake your head.. it’s had some bullshit dumped into it somewhere along your way
Some people are assholes. I love Canada. I love who we are! Everybody is welcome.
So, I have heard the term “snowflake” used before, and noticed that it is used to insult someone. How ironic!! The definition of “snowflake” describes the poor fool that felt he was too special to pull his head out of his ass to have a conversation with a person with a slight accent! Quite different from someone being offended by an ignorant racist.
Get schooled! Urban Dictionary;
“Snowflake – A term for someone that thinks they are unique and special, but really are not. It gained popularity after the movie “Fight Club” from the quote You are not special. You’re not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You’re the same decaying organic matter as everything else. – Began being used extensively as a put down for someone, usually on the political left, who is easily offended or felt they needed a “safe space” away from the harsh realities of the world, but now has morphed into a general put down for anyone that complains about any subject.”
Yup – the rude caller needed his “safe place” away from the harsh reality that he is not unique, definitely not special, and this country is as diverse as they come! He needs to adapt, or as aforementioned, go crawl back under his rock.
