You’re on the beach in Vietnam getting to know one of the guys you would end up spending the next month backpacking with. You start talking about school and work experiences, and mention that you took classes to learn two languages while in college.

He’s impressed and asks, “which ones?”

You reply, “Python and Java” and keep talking about it for a few seconds before realizing that he’s staring at you like you’re crazy because he was expecting you to say Spanish or French or some normal shit like that, not go off on a programming tangent.

He has no idea what you’re even talking about.
