Well, as was said upthread... that’s the story.
Even guys who don’t GAFF can commit a real fashion faux pas.
But per the title of the thread, it was another creepy moment.
Please, tell the ‘creepy noodles’ story.
Well, to put this story in geographical context, both incidents happened in San Jose. There are some good Vietnamese noodle houses and for the uninitiated, they are known as Phuc Noodles.

Anyways... one day I was waiting for a pair of prescription glasses, decided to go into a Pho Noodles shop and order the Crispy Noodles, #23. Waitress barely understood enough english for me to point to #23.
She says, “you wan Creepy Noodle”.
I say: “Crispy Noodles”.
She say: “It pronounce Creepy Noodle”.
I almost didn’t go through with the order, knowing that if I got sick then people would say that I shoulda known better.
That’s when you know immigration has gone way too far, when someone from another culture tells you that the OBVIOUS mispronunciation of an item is the proper pronunciation.
With creamy white cheese?
