Nationalism

The other day I was buying something at a store and the young girl behind the counter said, "jiorovlvnweijolvfhn vjnjn kvjcnfkjvnknj sdafvlskjn" which I figured (slowly) meant, "thirty kroner". So, I said, out loud, "oh. Thirty. Right." I paid and walked away with my good in hand, only to hear her say loudly to me as I walked away, "NIEH (no), iorovlvnweijolvfhn vjnjn kvjcnfkjvnknj sdafvlskjn (thirty kroner)."

The point is, she was upset that I corrected her Danish for my English - the same way we would be if some French asshole visiting Toronto did the same thing in French. The lesson here, is that even people that live in the smallest, shittiest places have national pride. Think about it - even people in the Ukraine get all pumped up when it comes to their miserable little armpit of a country. Probably.

So next time, when you hear someone tell you that a particular place in the world is particularly proud of their heritage, tell them to shut the fuck up. Everywhere in the world is nationalistic. Fucking everywhere. Even the stupid bitch behind the cash in the middle of nowhere, Denmark.
