Have you noticed that when there is a language barrier that at least one of the persons attempting the conversation begins to speak louder? If at first you don't succeed I guess the solution is to speak louder and louder until you are almost yelling at the person. Is it some innate human response in that we believe it isn't a matter of not understanding the words but not understanding them at the current tone, inflection and volume? I bet we've all done it at one time or another. Sure, it might seem insensitive to the other person or people being eventually yelled at but shit happens. With that in mind, why is it that only one side typically begins to raise their voice? It isn't like both sides progressively get louder and louder until everyone around them believes they are about to fight. At best the other person just looks on like the person yelling had just sprouted a third fucking eye and shit baby unicorns.
I have come to realize that it isn't always just a matter of the language barrier. Nope, this gradual increase in ones voice can happen in more situations then just the typical language barrier. It can also be found when one person is speaking in terms of reality and commons sense where as the other person is clearly using some sort of individualized logic free of rationality or reality. Today I saw a cashier using common English terms that from my perception both sides should have been capable of doing. The conversation should have been short and to the point. Alas it was not. The cashier was having a language barrier between her language of common sense and reality. Where as her customer's language of idiocy, self delusional grandiosity rendered the entire thing moot by its inability to understand the fucking meaning of no. To be more precise the meaning of "I can't help you as that isn't even something that we sell".
Sure enough the customer who is not getting their way begins to speak louder. Only in slight amounts at first. It quickly grew louder and louder until she was basically yelling at the cashier who was by the bounds of reality incapable of helping the customer as they did not sell that fucking product you fucking bitch I hope you die in a damn car fire. Sorry, got a bit off track there at the end. It wasn't that one person was speaking a Chinese dialect and the other was speaking German. Nope, they both spoke the same language. The problem was the language of reality. One person could just not understand how it was possible that the other could not bend or work some sort of magic by pulling the desired product from her ass simply because this customer demanded it.
A language barrier can be found within the same language. It happens when one person is just too fucking stupid, self centered, over-indulged or coddled that they are live in a word where there really is no such thing as no. Where anything they want is required to be available to them when, where and for whatever they want to pay for it. When faced with the language of reality, reason and common sense they treat it as any other language barrier. One that can only be bridged by repeating ones demands over and over progressively louder each time. Personally, had she sprouted a third eye and shit baby unicorns I would have at least offered to point her in the right direction to where she could of found it. I mean, after all, if you sprout a third eye ball and begin shitting baby unicorns I'd just want you to get the fuck away from me you third eye having and baby unicorn shitting freak.
