I'm Sruti, I'm Hannah and welcome to Redhanded, which is being recorded in a studio,

but currently Hannah and I are probably somewhere in the US. Yeah, driving, driving down the Pacific Highway.

But where's Southern? Well, that's the only one I can do. I do really want to, when we're out there,

I really do want to do a TikTok series of ordering at drive-thrues in an American accent,

because you kind of have to, because if you sound like us, they don't understand what you're saying.

That is the problem. Like if you ask for ketchup, they're like, what?

I think the accent throws some people because they're not expecting it, and I also think the other

thing I've noticed when I've been in the US is that we use too many words for Americans. So, for

example, I went into a place and I was like, oh, hi, excuse me, could I please order? And they're

just like, they've already lost interest in what I'm saying. They're like, I am not bitch,

I'm not even listening to what you are saying now. And they just look at you blankly. And then when

you stop, they say, sorry, what? And then I watched the man next to me order and he went black coffee,

and then the guy was like, yeah, and then brought him up black coffee. Yes, we definitely do use too

many words, because we're so desperately worried about insulting someone. And I know I've said this

before, but I will say it again because it really pisses me off. I can't stand it when Americans,

when you say, oh, thank you. And they go, oh, yeah, I can't stand that. I know. It's so rude.

If I, oh, job, I used to basically call switchboards constantly, try it. All like receptionist

to try and get through to the person I was speaking to, because it would always be like senior level

people. And I'd be like, oh, I just put you through and I'd be like, oh, thank you. They'd be like,

you put me right off this call now. Just say you're welcome. It's not hard. It's the same

matter of effort. Anyway, we love you, America. We do love you. We do love you. A double double.
