Last time I was in that situation was in the Turkish barber. He had a really really thick accent and I struggle parsing the spoken word at the best of times. Out of fear of potentially being viewed racist I just nodded and gave the man a thumbs up, assuming he was probably asking if the job was OK. He came back with a cottonball of kerosene or something, set it on fire and started waving it at my ear. Turns out “ear flame” is a real thing, and what was being offered.
Motherfucker made me anxious sweat, then cast fireball “without warning”, and charged me an extra £8 for my troubles. I will forever rue the day.
