Not a question, but a kinda funny story.

Older Chinese woman with two younger people (boy and girl) come to the pharmacy counter. In very broken English they ask for help to find something. They show me an iPhone screen that has a whole bunch of Chinese writing on it and the English name of a drug. I inform them that it is only available by prescription from a doctor. Like many people from other countries they were first upset with me as they do not need prescriptions for this drug in their country so I should give it to them. Then they beg. I'm trying to explain they could simply go to a walk in clinic nearby, but they are not understanding. I have had quite a bit of success using the google translate app on my Android phone, so I get my phone and start the app. The girl is doing the talking, but the boy is speaking loudly to her in Chinese and seems quite agitated. When I put the phone near her for her to speak, it caught his voice instead as she hadn't spoken yet and the following came up:


"What the #### is the problem? Tell him to do his job"

To which I replied

"goodbye"
