Wow. I'm sooooo sorry you met folks like that here.

How irritating.

Reminds me of a recent festival I attended. Someone came up to me (I don't remember if I was in my kilt or my cassock) and asked,

"So, what do you think of the crown."

I answered, almost flabergasted,

"I don't think anything about the crown. I'm American."
