Can you Imagine being a waken at 3am by someone that you haven't heard whether they even existed and telling you you " I have been looking for you over a month now". did I not ever hear his name but his mother's name too.

That's family for you.

hang the phone up
only a woman should call a man at 3am in the morning

If you've never heard of them, then they clearly just calling to say lacag iisoo dir... Ka farxi after all we're in ramadan.

Yeah they are looking for money, one time this lady called me from bardheere and she said "habaryartaa baa ahay oo so and so la dhaho" I was like "are you sure, never heard of you" and she had the nerve to curse me, and went on and on how we are related, she finally got to the point and said "lacag ii so dir" I don't even remember her asking me "see tahay"

Stop disrespectin yo people: May be distent relitive. it;s ramadan. send him $50, allah will double that for yo for some way.

I BET IF THE SITUATION WAS THE OTHER WAY ROUND
YOU'D BE DOING THE SAME THING

SAY ALHAMDULLILAH AND SORT THE PERSON OUT
IF YOU GOT THE MEANS

Only if yo knew what she is goin thru. yo would not talk that way. always put other's shoes, so yo can see from thier stand point. imagine, being single mom with three kids no income wat so ever. that is reality that exist back home. and here yo are sayin " she did not even say hi to me"

That's prolly not the best way to go about asking for money. Laakiin, her kid probably got ear infection(popular infection among kidhis) and she doesn't know who else to call... If her blood brothers and sisters were in America/Canada, she wouldn't bother you asking you for money.. But think of it this way, you are her closest relative in the west and she can depend on you when times get rough.

When my distant relatives call and I don't know them, there's a 9/10 chance that my mother knows them... So I just pass her the phone.

Sometimes though, they get disrespectful wit it. There are times when I don't have money and they call, I explain my broke situation to them. If I had money, I woulda sent it to them NO LIE! So they tell me "Haa, lacag baad iga qarsaneysaa, bla bla bla..." That shit gets old forrealz. what do you want me to do? Shit money out and send it to you? I'm really broke as two dude! LOL

people dont realise that untill its them that in these people's shoes.

I'm sure some money that the people in the diaspora sent home have been used to buy more AK-47s. Hey relatives have to be armed right...

Ask them for money next time...they'll never call back
