What Did You First Experience In The US?

zahlmao 

my first expericence in the US was very unique. I came out of my mother's womb and didnt know where i was. I just saw a white guy and a black guy staring @ me. And then some lady picked me up and began to rise me. 

isn't that scary ?

My exp. was in UK in 1995. I was stopping over in UK for 3 days to pick visa to Mexico and called upon my cousin who is a citizen. She took me to a restaurant and asked me what I wanted. I said "nothing". She said that was not allowed here. that i cannot just sit down staring/chatting with someone w/o eating. I was shocked.

Few days after another one happened. I was window shopping along the road and was quite fascinated that I entered the shop. After few minutes, the attendant accosted me, asked where I came from. I said "Naija". He said "yes, Naijas are good customers. what do I want?" I said nothing, I was just checking the items. He said, I can only go that far at the window. that once I entered it means I wanted somthing. I begged my way out of the shop, that day.

really funny stories in here. couldn't stop laughing at some of them.

Mine was kind of wierd because u know in America, where they give free stuffs to people like free pens, free caps and all that stuffs, l found myself packing a handful of those stuff because  am like free free , I was like daddy for aunty this cap, daddy the pens for cousin this and the toys for my little cousin excitedly, and my daddy corrected me that u don't' do things like that that things are abundant here.

Also, one day l went to KFC/Macdonalds and l was daddy " see the way the coke, is coming out" and my daddy was like it's free .  bush girl, l was rushing my food and finishing my drink like say l want die and was going to take free refil in different form. Mixture of coke, pepsi, fanta and sprite,moutain dew all together making concoction of drinks. lol
My sweet father again corrected me . love u daddy.

Disney, please stop referring to us as Yankees, I find that to be offensive and rude, especially if you are here in the US.  That is a term reserved for whites, not everyone, and even for them it's rude.

@disney

my first experience. Hmnnnnnnnnn

I went into a fastfood resturant in Atlanta and asked them for what they had. They listed some but i asked them " can i get rice?"'  The people behind me in line and the waitress could not believe their ears, and i was amazed at their puzzling look.

@ sage
that is funny, u tot it was mama iyaba fastfood joint.

i jumped out 

@ vicky,that is so embarassing, u tried o , l would feel like dissappearing into the ground.

lol. i've had a lot of funny and embarassing experience. here a re the ones i can remember @ the moment.

first was when on the plane when i was coming back from the US last december. after we had landed at lagos, i opened the upper compartment to get my hand luggage and immidiately i opened it, someones hand luggage (a smallish metallic suitcase) fell out and landed on the old womand head in front of me.
The woman (probably in her late 50's) shouted a very loud JEEEEEEEEEEEEESUS!!! and evryone looked in my direction. the woman started raining abuses on me and cursing me in yoruba. and she wouldnt take my plea's of sorry or even listen to he daughter who was pleading on my behalf. in fact it got her more worked up. in the heat of all this, the fool that had the box came and snached it from my hand and walked away.

Another one was when i was in london . iwent in summer and my uncle i was staying with had a very thigth schedule so i had to learn how to move around. i found my way to  the london eye that day and when i was coming back, i  didnt know how i managed to fall asleep. the train had to terminate at a station and transfer its passengers so when everyone had left, i was the only one left on the train, STILL SLEEPING. it took the intervention of some officials who came and woke me up. i was so embarassed.

another one was on the train again. this time i was with my younger sister. We had just boarded the train  then  the train jerked forword. I wasnt yet prepared for the jerk and it happened so suddenly that i landed on by bum-bum. To make matters wordt, my younger sister started laughing at me. I felt like slapping her that day.
I will keep you guys posted when i remember more.
