Silly Yanks! (UK accent misunderstanding)

Thought I would post this since I was laughing my ass off yesterday when I finally figured out what had happened several days earlier. First off, I'm an American, and I thought I was okay with accents since I travel a fair bit (3rd time in IBZ).

I had been to Amnesia's opening last Saturday, having an awesome time, dancing up a storm. At one point maybe like 5am, this British guy with pink hair, who I had assumed was a punk, all of a sudden came up to me and said "it's okay if you want to go pee". So I was like WTF, why is he cracking on my dancing moves? I didn't think I was hopping from leg to leg. Just bugger off. So I just politely smiled, maybe rolled my eyes a bit, and ignored him. So he goes back to his thing, and like one minute later, comes up again and asks me if "I wanted some iced tea?" Again, I was like WTF ? I thought it was a code for something, so I just smiled again and shook my head 'no'. So 1 minute later, he finally comes back, and just asks "Which DJ is playing??" That, I understood.. Mar-T

I just realized yesterday that the whole time he was just asking me if the "DJ up right now is Mar-T" ! :lol: What a freakin ass I am. Well, at least I can be relieved that my dance moves don't look like I need to go pee !! But I am ashamed of my stereotyping :( I'm not like that. Where is my love?!
