Teach the foriegn kid the swear words…

Yes­ter­day while at a local book­shop a non-spe­cif­ic Asian lady did some­thing that caught my atten­tion. She was clear­ly look­ing for a book of some kind, but she need­ed some help from the shop staff so she would walk up to them real­ly fast and then say very loud­ly “May I help you?”, then she would get a lit­tle bit huffy when this phrase did­n’t seem to do the job. As a last resort she instead said “Piano music!”. I was left want­i­ng to know who had taught her to say these things. But then I left the store so I don’t know if she ever found what she was look­ing for.
