I know, but my question is....why do you care? If they annoy you, why do you care whether or not you can understand what they're talking so obnoxiously about? Maybe they were visiting, maybe they just moved here and haven't had the time to sit down and learn an entire language yet. I'm just saying, I can understand your basic sentiment, but I think you should be less hateful about it. Just because those girls were obnoxious doesn't mean all "foreigners" are that way. I live in NJ, the melting pot of the US, and I know plenty of "foreigners" and I gotta say, they're the nicest people I know. Which I know isn't saying much because...it's Jersey. I mean I don't speak French or Italian, but I'd totally love to go to those places, and I think it would be pretty obnoxious and unwelcoming if all they could feel towards me was, "Learn French or gtfo." How are we all supposed to coexist at least semi-peacefully and accept each other's cultural differences with attitudes like this?
foreigners REALLY annoy me.
