I was working from home today
So i walked down to a nearby coffee shop to buy my lunch. The moment i speak to the auntie to place my order, she was already expressing her unhappiness in the way i talk(very random). I was sure that i was courteous, polite in the way i spoke.
Then she proceeded to say in hokkien that “kids nowadays dont work and only take money from parents”.
Then she proceeded to tout me in verbal ways, seemingly hoping i will respond back and start an argument with her.Take note i have never talked to his auntie before
Me being me, stood calm and unresponsive to her instigation, paid money took my orders and left.
Auntie, my 1 month salary maybe can probably equate to half a year of your annual salary. I don’t take but give money to my parents so that they don’t need to around with people like you.
Not happy to work just stay at home and watch your tv or something. Not every “kid” will tolerate your monkey behaviour like how some of us will.
Netizens’ comments
- Why are young people nowadays so easily offended
- A lot of these grumpy old people are bitter they wasted their younger years, so they vent their own unhappiness on the younger people.
Serious. Unprovoked, a few frail old uncles have challenged me to a fight before. Can tell easily they have wasted their youth being fragile so they need to prove something and hope the younger person backs down out of “respect”.
The only way to counter this type is to explain to them the truth of how they have wasted their lives and now can only be bitter, but you have your whole life ahead of you. They will shut up quickly. - Maybe she’s got pent up frustration because of what’s happening in her life and u so happened to be the victim of her projecting her internal battles. Since u kept mum bout this, u took to social media and I can understand that feeling. U just needed to vent it out. Good job on u not retaliating or reciprocating to her negativity
- Wow. Your 1 month salary equates to her 1 year annual income. I don’t know what she is selling but I knew a chap who sells mee and daily 300-500 bowls Daily. Taking min @$5/bowl he makes 45k/month averaging $500k per annum. Don’t underestimate their income. I don’t know maybe the aunty is working as a helper and not happy as the owner is earning so much and not paying her enough that’s why a lot of old people are “exploited”, unhappy thus grumpy.
