No Speaka English

I know I am getting ready to sound "closed minded" and "prejudice" but at this point in my rant and rave for the day, I DO NOT CARE!

I have been on the phone for several conversations today with insurance companies, disability companies for Jeremy, and the mail order prescription company we get our meds from. What do all of these places have in common (other than being overly priced and SLOW to do things?)........NO ONE SPEAKS ANY ENGLISH!!!!

Of the 3 people I have spoken with and the 2 people I yelled at, I did not once speak to anyone who spoke fluent enough English for me to not have to ask "Can you repeat that?" more than 10 times. Now I realize I may not be the easiest to understand in my "country twang," but come on! Am I accidentally dialing India and I am unaware?

Now I have no problem with people of different nationalities, but this absolutely DRIVES ME INSANE!!

Does this drive anyone else mad, or am I on the "SPEAK SOME FREAKIN' ENGLISH" bandwagon alone friends?

This is Jeremy's biggest pet peeve...It drives him crazy. Anytime we have to deal with anyone that has an accent, it's as if they're not speaking any English. They speak and then he looks at me to "translate." It is hilarious!!
