Accent identity crisis
There is a one in four chance I get a cabbie who decides to put on a fake American accent just for me.
Given I typically take a cab to and from interview appointments that happen every other day, there's a good chance I get one of these at least once a week.
Cabbie: Hallo, where you want to go? (Totally ordinary Singaporean accent)
Me: Hi, centrepoint please.
Cabbie: SENNER POINNNN? Okai! How do ya wanna go therrrre?
Me: Umm city hall is good.
Cabbie: CIDDY HORRRRRL? OKAI.
Note to all random future Singaporeans I'll encounter: Just because I pronounce all the end-consonants, it doesn't mean I have a foreign accent.
