so lustig!

being lustig is fun. i usually take pleasure in being lustig - despite the fact that most of the time it's not intentional....i take even more pleasure in other people being lustig, which is why many a German can see me laughing at work while reading cracked.com articles or why im friends with shelco (definitely a good example of unintentional lustig...). however lustig lost some major points today when the following conversation occurred:

me (trying to order studel, because studel is fucking good and it was that kind of week): kann ich ein studel....awkward trail off
waitress: what? laughter. you're so lustig when you try to pronounce german [words]. more laughter.


that's right. some bitch straight up laughed in my Gesicht about how i spoke german. these heartless blond fuckers will literally suck the soul out of you and not give a fuck. im never speaking this language again.
