Welcome to my life - except its the Kiwis asking the dumb questions and they're saying "aboot" instead of "about" ;) Except the time the guy in Edmonton asked us if we'd driven over from New Zealand. To be honest I think he realised how stupid it was the second it left his mouth but still...
bahahahahaaha sooo funny! Silly people....At least you aren't getting picked on, damn Sydney people love taking the piss out of me.
ahahahahahahaha so funny that they said 'are you sure'.... like you wouldn't know!
Jacqui - Driven over from New Zealand!? Oh my gosh I think that tops it for me for the dumbest things said!
Pixie - Yea had my fair share of that when living in Perth. It got really old, really fast, but they loved it.
