Some people still wander around is their own little bubble not wanting to learn anything new.

In this case, a man made a very unfortunate comment, but got instantly put back in his place by someone who wasn’t afraid to speak up.

Let’s read the story.

Well, thats weird.

This happened about a year ago, in the 2023 holiday season, but I still think about it with glee.

So for background: I work in a bookstore, and my boss at the time was really into K-Pop, specifically BTS but she was branching out to try other Korean pop bands.

All in good fun, she often played new K-pop at the bookstore to try and get us into the scene.

It’s normal for shop owners to play music they enjoy, and usually, no one complains…

None of the rest of us were quite fans, but seeing her happy made us happy, so we tolerated it day in day out. (No hate, there are good K-pop songs and bands, they just aren’t our thing)

So as the holidays rolled around, she put on K-pop Christmas music to test it out.

Then a man walked in to trade books, so we started going through his books together.

They didn’t expect what was about to happen at all.

Simple enough job, we are blowing through his boxes, quick with how good we both are at this.

After about 3 minutes of just standing there looking at us (we always invite customers to look around so they don’t have to just wait, I guess he wanted to just wait) he asks “What music is this?”

I glance at my boss for reassurance, but tell him “I believe it’s K-pop! Sounds like Stray Kids but I’m not sure-”

He cuts me off with “That’s Weird, right?”

My boss, strong though she is, was taken off guard and stood there struggling to construct a response.

Things were instantly tense, but one of them knew just how to improvise to deal with the situation.

I jumped in and looked at the man, “Well, I think it’s only weird if you think other cultures are weird!”

This man thought it proper to respond, “I Do.”

I looked him straight in the eye with a deadpan look, and said “Well, that’s Weird.”

Got him!

Needless to say, he was now taken aback and couldn’t gather anything to say.

We took 1 book and he didn’t say another word to us.

My boss thought it was the best thing I’ve done at work, and I think I agree.

I hope he sits on that until he realizes how terrible an outlook that is.

You would think someone who likes to read would also enjoy learning about other cultures. She basically held a mirror to his face and made him look at himself.

Let’s see what Reddit has to say about this.

A reader shares their thoughts.

Never lose hope!

This commenter could barely believe it.

Another reader chimes in.

Someone shares their opinion.

Yup!

Let’s hope he rethinks his outlook on life after this burn.
