Mistaken Asian Love


How come the strangest things happen to me? I was in Starbucks before and I had ordered my thing and walked to the register to pay for it. The cashier starts ringing me up & I notice that she's charging me also for what the asian guy behind me had ordered. I was like, "I only ordered the cider. We're so not together." The girl gave me the strangest look and she was like "What, you're not together??" I was like, "Uhm yeah, I have no clue who he is." Seriously, what the f is that about? Do all asians have to be dating or related? Like I could totally understand if I had Ryan with me, well then if they rang us up, it'd make more sense. But come on, I was standing there with my nice 2 feet of personal space, like how we used to line up in grammar school. It wasn't like I had my tongue in his ear or I was groping him, why would you think we were together?? I didn't even once turn around to even look at him. It just aggravated me that she was so confused when I told her not to ring us together, it was like she couldn't understand that we had no connection to one another. I'm just glad that there wasn't a whole line of asian people behind me or she would have charged me for a whole family!
