I've posted this somewhere here before but, I'll share again.
When I was 18 my brother lived in Paris, he worked in wine shop and to earn my keep and some spending money he put me to work.
One day he gave me a stack of customer orders told me to go into caves(sp) where they store wines, etc. and load the van. So I did it was packed, I said finally it's done, he handed me a map of Paris and said now go deliver it. I knew my brother and saying I can't was not an option.
The funny thing was I had never driven there and didn't speak any French. I was in WAY over my head but muddled though hauling cases of wine, water, juice etc. up flights of stairs with a little two wheel dolly.
So near the end that evening I made my way up what seemed like ten floors and this sweet little old lady gave me too much money and we went round and round neither making sense of the situation so she calls the shop says something rather animated and hands me the phone and one of the English blokes(sp) behind the counter said she's trying to give you a tip you dumb ass!
