Bad Day

I usually take these encounters in stride & handle them better than I did the other day, but I must have just been having a bad day.

I went to Wal-Mart to pick up some pictures. I told this older gentleman at the counter (that I have seen several times) that I was there to pick up pictures. He looks at me & says "Quan?". I reply, "no Perkins". He finds them & tries to pronounce my name with an accent and like rolling the "r", he made a couple of attempts at it & I just let it go. Then of course he continued. He then asked if the name was Korean and instead my typical response of no, but I am Korean, I responded with "no". Well then he kept trying to guess & I just said, "my parents are American and they gave me an American name, don't know what to tell you."

I grabbed my pictures & left.
