I mean, here in Denmark I am so sick and tired of going into a souvenir store with a Swedish casheer speaking English to me because she believes we can't communicate otherwise, when in reality Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian are so close together most of us understand each other fine. But noooo... we immediately default to English when languages scare us.
I am also tired of encountering Danish pitchers on the pedestrian street who, when asking "if I have a minute" start off asking "English or Danish?" Like, first off they assume I don't know Danish in Denmark. Second, they always ask English first AND they ASK in bloody English. Excuse me when I say I feel my mothertongue is getting bloody devoured from the inside.
