used to frequent a certain bah kut teh spot with my ex. the owner was a friendly chinese guy and one time he was like "oh, so youre from russia? are you putin's cousin then?" and I was like sure whatever.
came back one and a half years later and was like surely he won't remember me for that long. the guy came up to the table and was like "ah, putin's cousin? how's your girlfriend doing?" and I was like kms.
