Pissed me right off, too. Fun tip: do it back to them. Assume they know what a Ballarat is. Even better if there’s a way they could possibly misinterpret it as being whatever their version is. The hate it, and will then 9 times out of 10 rant at you about why it’s justified to assume everybody reading [insert post from the other side of the world] is American
Needlessly dickish, antagonistic, and petty, sure, but sometimes people don’t realise how annoying their behaviour is until they are on the receiving end of it. See also: eshays and drongos who blast shitty hip hop on the train
