happyhappy 0 Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 1) When I am speaking with someone in not-brilliant-but-understandable-to-Japanese-who-ain't-thick-Japanese, and they constantly turn to their colleague asking for translation into Japanese that they can understand. you know, not asking me to repeat or anything like that, just reverting to the friend. As if I'm not there. Just had that in a work situation and it was VERY annoying, and frankly very bad manners. 2) Other things, but 1) will do for now. Not in my usual happy mood right now.
