Canadian?

I was getting my coffee this morning at one of the coffee carts on campus. I asked for my drink. Woman next to me asked if I was from Minnesota or Canada because of my accent. First, she asked in a mocking way. Second, I am congested this morning.

I just glared at her and said I was from Illinois. Why would you ask someone that question? She didn't say...oh...hey...did you just move to Portland because you have an accent or did you see the movie, Fargo? She really wasn't pleased when I accidentally took her coffee. I guess she shouldn't distract me when I am waiting for my drink.
