Re: How do you react?
Why do older people ask younger ones to do stuff when they can do it themselves? Not in a disrespectful way but come on, the phone is literally next to you or it is your own doctor and you speak English or in God's name why do you want me to look through your suitcase since you packed it and know what the thing you're talking about looks like!
I had an older person staying over and I am surprised my tongue didn't fall off from biting it so hard

Re: How do you react?
lol....does this happen to you alot Jes?
I think it depends on the situation and who is asking. If its because they dont want to do it, I would just tell them that Im indisposed
Re: How do you react?
Stop complaining and being lazy you little ungrateful runt and do what your elders ask you to do. If you can't figure out how to stand up for urself and say NO without having to run to SNET for an advice, then u deserve that and more.
Now go get me my Tusbax and Koob Caano. Make sure you warm it first.

That's Somali elders for you. They love to age before their time.

More often than I'd like. I think there's a switch somewhere in my head that I have to switch off so it stops pissing me off.ms.naliaa wrote:.does this happen to you alot Jes?
