      Pettiness and pragmatism are two wildly different things. I’d also count her as pragmatic.

      Anybody whose able to speak another language than english can do it.

      But that does exclude a lot of americans.

        you don’t even actually have to speak another language. just make shit up. babble like a fundie “speaking in tongues” and repeat “no speakey eni englche”… helps if you can go a little castor-eyed and pull out the crazed weirdo look.

        You only need a couple of phrases (and a practiced accent/pronunciation) to seem believable enough for them to give up

          This. The sayings we all know can easily be repurposed. I am sorry I don’t speak [english]. No I do not understand you. Thank you. Where is the train.

          I may have done this to American tourists in Europe.

      She gets away not talking to trump, mostly because she’s dead.

        Sucks to explain jokes, but this is internet recommended practice to avoid any kind of everyday trouble with Japanese officials etc. Use at your own risk
