One such story was shared on her Twitch livestream a few days ago during the initial moments. She narrated an incident in her life that took place a day before when she went shopping and met a sales associate. As they interacted with each other discussing some casual stuff, Pokimane was able to understand that he had no idea who she was.

But the interesting moment happened at the end when he asked her surname to make her bill. As she spelled her surname, the sales associate looked her ”dead in the eyes” and said the word ‘anus’. Pokimane was shocked to hear this and took a moment to recollect herself, “when I tell you my jaw dropped. I was in shock.”

What was more surprising, the streamer explained that, “It was like he didn’t even try to pronounce it properly or decently whatsoever.” She went on to describe the shocking incident but when her chat claimed that it was probably a joke, she exclaimed “I don’t think it was a joke. I really don’t!”, because the sales associate had a blank look on his face, which seemed he was telling what her surname should be.
