HAR!?

I needed to work late yesterday and so I went over the Soup Spoon to pack a sandwich and salad. For those who dunno what is this Soup Spoon place. It's actually like a fast-food soup outlet that serves wholesome and healthy soup that taste not too bad, in fact, rather yummy. So Moi ordered a...


Caesar Salad
Romaine Lettuce, Parmesan Cheese, Egg Slice, Sundried Tomato, Multigrain Slice, Caesar Dressing


AND a...


Chicken Tikka (Wrap)
Tandoori Chicken, Mango Chutney, Mint, Cucumber, Red Onion, Romaine Lettuce

But before deciding on the Chicken Tikka (wrap), I wanted to check with the waitress what this hearty wrap looks like and so i asked...

Me : Hi, I will like check what does your hearty wrap looks like?

Waitress : HAR!!??

Me : Your Hearty wrap. I mean is it a vietnamese paper wrap or a bread wrap with pieces of chicken and stuff in it or what.

Waitress : HAR!!!??

Me (a little irritated) : Your Hearty wrap. H-E-A-R-T-Y wrap.

Waitress : HAR!!!??

Me (super pissed) : DO YOU UNDERSTAND ENGLISH!!???? CAN YOU SPEAK ENGLISH???

The IDIOTIC waitress just gave me a blank face. SHE is such a DIMWIT!!!! D-I-M-W-I-T!!!. GRRRRR!!

The Manager who heard my SUPER LOUD voice came over....

Manager : So sorry Madam that we do not have any pictures showing our hearty wrap but it's actually a thin **** (Bread's name) wrapping minced chicken bits and vegetable.

Me : Lovely. I will have that. Thanks.

Unless you are talking to someone that you are really very close with e.g. family or closed friends, please do not use that HAR??!! to answer questions that you can't understand, did not manage to catch or it's not within your linguistic comprehension. It's damn irritating, damn rude, damn primitive. Comeon, it's not even a WORD or english. It's just a SOUND. Use that when you talk to a ape or monkey, can? Maybe they will give you a sloppy wet kiss on your lips.

PISSED!
