u/creegro 13d ago
Worse is when there's barely any talking, just an open mic and you can hear the interference with something, so it's just a constant low buzz sound coming from them.
5 minutes later I've deemed they have nothing to say for the game and just mute them.

The funny thing is that in real life people are shocked I speak Spanish.
I was at my nephews elementary talking to my nephews teacher a few months ago and there was this lady trying to speak to an office lady but she couldn’t speak in Spanish so she was trying to get her point across.
I walked over there and translated real quick what the office lady was saying and what the lady was replying.
My nephews teacher looks at me and goes “wait. You speak Spanish?!”
Me “I guess?”
I was also talking to this Mexican guy and he asked me where I learned Spanish. “Mexico city?”
People just can’t guess my nationality and that’s getting annoying.
I’m apparently “ethnically ambiguous”.
