Going to put some more stories of working with the lot.
I work for a major financial conglomerate and due to reporting requirements (we have regular audits from the country the HQ is based in as well as local supervisory authorities and American ones due to how we operate) so for a long time we had hard cutoffs to make sure cash cleared, client tasks were completed, and all cheques balanced at the end of each month. We had a junior analyst who was from a Punjabi family (born here but odd guy, he told me his dad stole his student loan money so he had to borrow his tuition sub-prime) that was consistently late in getting his tasks done in time for the cutoff and ever month we'd have to be working to 8 - 12 covering for him so everything was cleared. Every month our boss would ask him if he needed help early on because he had a large backlog and she was worried it wouldn't get done. Every month it very clearly wouldn't get done on time hence why we had to cover for him. One month he was particularly late (he had over 300 tasks outstanding one week before cutoff and as the senior I even told him he really needed to get working on it but he insisted he would get it all done on time) and this month was particularly bad so this time nobody could cover for him (this was the start of covid and we had to balance working from home teething issues with work). My boss the very next day had to go in front of the c-suites and explain why tens of millions of dollars was not cleared and over 100 tasks were outstanding after the cutoff when she insisted everything would get done (she believed him) and was so humiliated she fired him that same day. He later told me that the reason he was late because he was interviewing for another company and doing their pre-interview assignments on company time. He had also done other things like having an argument with our VP in a strategy meeting over terminology and despite him being a very calm and patient man he looked like he was about to start screaming which is why I assume him getting fired was approved so quickly.
Another incident has us plotting how we model a client's data and it needed to be updated. This task was delegated to an Indian co-worker (who has the client's account) but it was consistently late so we had a meeting to get it moved forward. He then claimed that the work couldn't get done because I didn't disable a special control in the testing environment for this client, only for me to respond with "this control was never enabled for this client" and show the list of clients it was enabled for. We then asked him for the error log to see what happened but he couldn't find it. After 15 minutes of back and forth, we realized he just took a screenshot when it was going through that activity (which it would simply bypass it because it only triggers for certain client) and decided to use it as an excuse. The real reason it failed was because he was testing in an environment that was retired two months before we gave him the task and he should have known it was retired because us switching our data warehouse was a major event that we had multiple meetings to cover.
Whenever I get spam calls and texts from Indians, I just reply with "a morte il frocio vishnu" (death to the fag vishnu) to throw them off balance and pretend like I can't speak English (my Italian is English-accented so actual Italian speakers would easily be able to tell my first language is English). One time I even got replies in bad French.

Sometimes I bully pajeets on Omegle knockoffs with a voice chat function. It's hilarious to hear them say things like "Saar, I am from Italy saar. I am an Italian", for some reason pajeets think they can larp as Italians. Why? They're already larping as koreans, which the accent immediately failing the larp.
