ah well, insha'allah khair.

do duaa's ppl. salaams. later folks.

So I walk into a store yesterday, and ask one of the cashiers something. And here’s what happened.

Me: So um, where can I find this this and this?

Cashier: go straight down, turn left, and step into aisle XXX.

Me: okay, cool. Thanks. *fake smile*

Cashier: *brief laugh* kinda weird to hear that from a foreigner..

Me: umm, huh?! Wha??! *dumbfounded*

Cashier: yeah, the word cool, I said its weird to hear that from a foreigner *chuckles*

*at this point, I am 100001% sure by her accent, clothes and laughter style that she’s one of the rednecks from the UGA area..wink wink sun and afshan,*

me: uhhh, yeah, *evil look disguised as fake smile* I’ve been here a long time..

cashier: oh yeah? *laughs that freaky laff again* so you’ve picked up the language here, huh?

Me: umm, no, I was born here. *emphasizing on the BORN*

Cashier: ohhh *nervous laughter* u were BORN here?

Me: *thinking* isn’t that what I just said freak?

And I walk away. So much for the assistance.

Ah well, it’s not like I’m offended or anything its jus that, god, sometimes it sucks to be a niqaabi, like real bad.

That’s all for now. All of a sudden, I don’t feel good.
