Design D
For years, young Japanese women would walk up to me from out of nowhere — especially on streetcars — and want to "practice their English". Seriously, no ulterior motives. Not that that made it any the less rude, as far as I was concerned — not being an English speaking machine placed on earth for their specific convenience. Nonetheless, not wanting to be rude myself, I went along with it for years.
Until it just got too old for me to roll over on command. So I came up with a witty little comeback designed to address the affront — and get me out of the situation. To wit. "I'm a foreigner, so I speak English. And you're a woman. So in exchange for my English, maybe I could just take a quick peek down your blouse?" I knew they would think I was a monster, probably that all foreigners were monsters, but I didn't care. It would make me feel better, and that was enough. Every time I boarded public transportation, I practiced so I wouldn't freeze up. Waiting.
And no one ever accosted me again. Oh well, at least I got a T-shirt out of it.
