So, to follow up with some more very interesting encounters with the inhabitants of this city regarding garage doors.
Today I ate breakfast with a vague friend (mostly acquaintance) of mine who makes me laugh because he's from Bulgaria and says hilarious things completely unintentionally. He doesn't mean to. Half the time he doesn't even know what I'm laughing about. Actually, I think I offend him by laughing at him so much, but I just can't help it. He's adorably clueless and his English really is quite far from perfect.
So I passed him the pepper for his eggs (ah, eggs in the morning. can't be beat) and he said, "Goo morlning, Miss." That alone. Hilarious, right?
So I bade him a good morning right on back. We chatted about the weather, the newspaper I had in my hand. Then I said,
"Will you answer a quick question for me? It's something kind of like a survey, if you don't mind too terribly."
He gave me a go ahead gesture, and said "You may shoot."
"What do you think of garage doors?"
"Ahhh, ze garage doors!" I was surprised. Usually people look pretty alarmed when I ask them this, as if to say, wait really? THAT'S what you're asking me about? But he just launched right on in.
"I zink zat you Ameeericans are too much attached to your gizmos, no? You have leetle button, it do this. You have other leetle button, it do dis other sing. What for? You not have hands, you can't move own door? You not have legs for walking? Is lazy. Your is lazy. Whole country. Iz good for some sings, not so good for others, know what I am saying? I sink zat garages are sings zat need for you to be openeing wiz your own two hands, boyo."
I can alsmost see his point, but: "What about when you're in your car?"
"Bah!" He yelled, and startled me.
