So, as many of you know, I have been getting my nails done for about 5 years now. I am fully aware that the Vietnamese nail ladies talk shit. I mean, its kind of expected. At my spot in O-town, I was good friends with my nail lady. (yes..You may know her.... She has one too many thumbs) Anyways, she would tell me the things they say. She is too fat for that, she needs laser hair removal, etc etc. Its like our worst fear that they really do talk shit. So anyways, 2 weeks ago, I went to a new place. The guy convinced me I needed a new set (if you don't know, that means all new Acrylic... All you really need to know is its a lot of money. ) So I do it and a week into it my nail breaks. So I go back and tell them how disappointed I am that I spent a lot of money and it broke. The girl, and yes by girl I mean 19 yr old, doesn't even get off her damn cell phone and tells me in the rudest tone possible that they wont fix it free of charge. Mind you were talking about 2 bucks. That's all Im asking for. Im spending 23....and i spent 75 last time. I say ok, well Im really dissatisfied and I probably wont come back. I promise, I said it in the nicest, calmest tone ever. She stands up and starts yelling in Vietnamese and by her tone I know what ever she is saying is f-ed up. Every nail lady, even the ones doing pedicures look at me. So there is like 5 people in line or waiting. I look at her and Im like, whatever you just said about me was rude, everyone is looking at me. She was like who is everyone. Im thinking, I know this bitch is not even trying to deny this shit. I was like, everyone who works here just looked at me and that makes me uncomfortable so I will not be getting my nails done and I will never be back. Thanks for your time. I walked out. I stood up for women with nice nails everywhere against trash-talking Vietnamese nail ladies...

Gotta give a shout out to my girl "Dirty" for doing the same thing at Taipei Tokyo. She is Taiwanese and they were talking Chinese trash about her and she called it out. "I know what your saying about me and I don't appreciate it" And they were talking some serious shit too.

That's my girl "Dirty" She is like a little Chihuahua....tiny, fiesty and yappy. hahaha. Thanks for the motivation Dirty. you know your my girl

I am an asian man, and I went to the nail place with my white girl room mate. We were doing a room mate bonding thing...

So I sit down and this vietnamese girl sits across from me. She speaks about 30 seconds of English, comfortable that I don't seem to know her language she gets started in vietnamese with her co-workers.

Couple minutes later, I said "I know what you just said". Her face gets bright red, and her co-workers starts to say sorry. The truth is I have no idea what she said, was just funny to call her out on it. I can pretty much guess what they were saying.....
