NOODLES: PET PEEVES - THE AUSTRALIAN VERSION
After 3 years of to and fro, this place ain't so bad...
...With the exception of two, very simple things.
1. "Ta".
Yup. Exactly how it's spelled. Supposedly it's thank you, in short form(at least that's what I've been told). Except, I find it really, really, really, really...(this will go on for quite awhile)...annoying. It just sounds soooo frickin gedik(also somewhat posh-but-not-in-a-good-way/pretentious as well) no matter who says it. Seriously. I dunno why I hate it so much, but everytime a customer says "Ta" to me, I'm quietly grinding my teeth behind a forced smile. Rasa cam nak "ta"-mpar je sial.
2. Asians speaking broken english, with a thick made-up Aussie accent
Wehhh, aku takleh doh. Can you please just speak with your original accent that you were raised with? It's more natural, and actually more pleasing to the ear. Sebab diorang ni tak pandai nak pronounce or enunciate betul-betul, tapi nak jugak tambah accent ciplak dia kat situ...
