Why Are They Even in Here?

So I went into a Russian store with my friend. We both know Russian but are Americans, and he’s married to an American woman. As we walk in, he’s talking to his wife in English. There’s a Russian couple already in there shopping (it’s a small store) and as we walk around she starts complaining to her husband about “Those horrible people, why are they even in here.”

She threw out a few swear words and just wouldn’t shut up. Then, right as we walk past them, my friend says to his wife, in flawless Russian, “I’ve got to go honey, this shrew in the store won’t shut up and I’m starting to get mad.” The look on her face… Priceless. baronmunchy
