My Customer Service Voice is a Canadian Accent

[tju_tju_tju_tju]

Me: Hello! How're you today?
Lady: I'm good, how are you?
Me: I'm pretty good! Do you have a bonus card?
Lady: *hands me her card* You're not from around here, are you?
Me: Um... I've lived in Jersey most of my life.
Lady: Oh! You sound like you're from Canada!

That's the second time this has happened! Someone else told me I sounded like I was German. IDEK.

I get this kind of thing all the time - I'm a born and raised South Carolinian, but people are always asking me if I'm from New York, California, Boston, or random places in Europe. O_o I don't understand, but I'm glad I didn't inherit the god-awful Southern twang. *shudder*

So hey, at least you don't have that stereotypically New Jersey accent! :D And Canada is... kind of exotic. Maybe. :D

I guess we just have our own, unique, weird voices. Yay!

lol Yep!

...We have a noticeable accent? That's news to me lol.

It's only a slight accent, I think, but yes, lol.

Seriously, I cannot tell Americans and Canadians apart. I never have been able and I never will. Apparently it's very distinct? I just can't hear it. Apart from the helpful, 'ay', that is. Which I have now started doing. XD

It's just certain words, I think? Plus certain regions of Canada have stronger accents, I think. I don't know. I've never actually been there, lol.

LOL QUE.

have you been secretly canadian this entire time and just haven't told me? but that is seriously weird. I don't think i've ever gotten mistaken for coming from somewhere else. I got mistaken for a boy often when I was a lot younger though.
