Default Little Cultural Mistakes ....

So my brother is working in India running a mining team or something. He's getting paid a lot but he's quickly finding out what living in the third world is all about. He shared with me this little adventure that happened the other day, and now I'm going to share it with you. Perhaps then some of you could share similar experiences of being an ignorant tard in a foreign country and we can all laugh at you.

Anyway,

My bro is out in the middle of nowhere in some hick Indian town and he's busting for a piss. There's nowhere for him to go and he's worried about flopping it out and causing the Indians some shame/embarrasment/envy that sort of thing. Eventually one of the other guys tells him to just take it over to the side of a building already which my bro does.

So he's hunched up against the side of a building which is a little off the road and thus more out of sight. And he's having a good piss. He discribed it as one of those pisses that make you groan out loud. Lets assume he's making suitable groaning type noises as this is going on.

Some Indian dude comes down the street on a bicycle, see's my bro pissing against the wall and stops and starts yelling at him. The convo goes something like this;

Indian dude, (with suitable Peter Sellers type accent): What the feck are you doing? What the feck are you doing man?!!"

My bro: "What the feck do you want? Can't you see I'm fecking pissing here?"

Which went on for a bit until the Indian dude told my brother that he was going to kill him with his friends and promptly rode off. My bro shrugs, zips up and goes over to the rest of his team who are dying of laughter. He asks them what's so funny about the situatiion. That's when they tell him that the building he was urinating against was a temple. An Islamic temple.

At that moment they see about twenty angry Indian dudes coming up the road on bicycles and they sure don't seem like they want a game of cricket. Everyone jumped in the 4x4's and got the hell out of there.

I think he's assimilating well.
