Be me (middle aged white woman, not that it matters)

Be homeowner

Be part of HOA

Not really a huge fan but kinda hard to avoid these days

HOA pays for lawn care, so there’s that

there’s supposed to be an area that they won’t touch if they see you planted your own stuff

think it would be cool to grow some flowers

Go up to lawncare guy and ask about it

Looks confused, doesn’t speak English

I get it, not his fault

Asked four guys now, all don’t speak English

Kinda frustrated, but again I get it

see white guy (super pale)

Assume that he’s from America because we live in Virginia

Go up to him, tell him I’m happy I found someone who can speak English

Looks at me and takes in what I’m saying. Seems like he can understand me

starts speaking dutch

Whatever.jpg

Go inside

Husband asks me what’s wrong

tell him everything

Tells me to not worry. He’ll go outside and won’t stop until he finds someone

Comes back about thirty minutes later

"Yeah most of them didn’t speak English, but there was one guy who was super helpful. Turns out he’s a university student making some cash over the summer "

“He’s actually from Holland, isn’t that weird?”

mfw.

> she continues talking to him anyway because she really only cared that he’s white

lol y’all really believe Dutch is a real language

Edit: speak all the gibberish you like, you can’t fool me
