I don't know why, but someone speaking in the background in a language I don't speak drives me insane. It doesn't have to be loud, I don't have to be trying to concentrate on anything especially hard, but if it doesn't stop after a couple of minutes, I basically just have to go somewhere else.
No idea why. I don't think it is any subtle racism, because it's every language. It's like my brain won't let go of trying to understand, and keeps wanting to notify me that it's having trouble and needs my help with it.
I get the weirdly opposite wherein my brain starts to try to translate it through whatever lexicon I may have, Korean for example don't know a bit but any Romance language or Germanic language getting rammed through the lexiconic equivalent of Frankensteins monster as presented by HR Giger. I try to avoid Spanish, I can understand spoken Frisian.
