I have a pet peeve that really riles me. I speak a second language, other than English and work in an extremely diverse environment so one expects to hear people speaking many different languages. Both Your work circle and friendship circles will speak different languages.
However, I have a friend, who whenever she comes to visit me or we meet, she tends to speak to her daughter in another language. Take note, her daughter speaks English fluently. Common language for them and for us (my daughter and myself)is English.
last night, after feeling quite annoyed for the umpteenth time sitting in their company, I had to listen to them having their own conversation, I commented that I don’t speak the language and don’t understand. She proceeds to say that’s ok. I just thought how rude of her. If I’m amongst others who don’t understand my second language, then I will revert back to English very quickly and apologize.
I think my friend is just being very rude, because people speak another language in your presence if they don’t want you to understand or they’re trying to hide something.
AIBU for feeling annoyed or should I’m just brush it off?
