Something which, like, totally pisses me off is the fact that, because of the way I look, I stick out like a sore thumb. It doesn’t matter how I dress, everyone’s going to remember me. I’m travelling by bus, whatever, and there’s all these people looking at me strangely, or turning their eyes away, like it was impolite to look at the geezer standing next to you on the bus. It’s, like, weird.
It’s also a bit unpleasant when I meet someone for the first time and they start speaking English, and then, you know, they’re gobsmacked that I speak Czech so well, so they start asking about my family. I’ve had this kind of interview we’re having now about a million times. Basically, it pisses me off that I don’t look like everyone else. |
