I was standing in line at the drug store today and the guy in front of me asked the cashier something completely indecipherable. I thought it was about a stupid lotto ticket, but who knows. The lady asked him to repeat himself, and again, garbled. I mean, was it English? No clue. She dismissed him and when I stepped up a second later I heard her say, rather low, "I don't know what the hell you're saying..." To this I burst into laughter, then smiled widely and said that I was glad I wasn't the only one.

A year and a half in NYC and still, can't understand a damn word sometimes...
