| | lately i have not been myself...let's just say more towards being "amy tsoi!!!" today i did somethin i will never ever do in my life!!! i missed more than half a hour of 24 today!!! yes, I MISSED MORE THAN HALF A HOUR OF 24!!! i couldn't believe myself. i never miss 24 EVER IN MY LIFE, even if next day is an exam day...i will dedicate a hour just to record and watch 24 at the same time but then today...i didn't have to study nor did i have any project due the next day. i have spring break this week and i missed 24 just to watch this dvd on the study of the human body. i can't believe myself, turn my eyes away from the television to look at the clock and it was 9:42pm already...AIYA!!!
yesterday i wasn't myself again. i walked into this chinese meat market (duk chung) with my mom on elizabeth street. i wasn't angry until what i saw. these women workers kept talkin and talkin among each other. pissed me off of what i was seeing. my mom was tryin to get their attention but they decided to carried their brainless conversations. i couldn't believe what i was watchin. these people do not get paid for talkin but to serve their customers with RESPECT!!! its not like they couldn't hear my mom. its my mom, she can get pretty loud...louder than me sometime. but, nooooooo...they decided to ignored my mom and carried on their brainless conversation, so i decided to step in. i screamed on top of my lungs with this really sore throat to get their attention. they decided to ignore me the first time, then my second, and lastly but not least, my third times. filled with anger, i went, "yo see lai, can i get some service here before i head towards your manger?" one of them came up to me so i pointed to my mom, but she decided to walk away from my mom and not serve her. i was like, OMG, SHE'S SO RUDE!!! on the other hand, my mom was really calm about this. then my mom proceed to tell me that this always happen to her, its not the first. i was seriously shocked!!! i always go grocery shopping with my mom on sunday but i never seen this kind of rudeness. anyway, i decided to call her out again. she came, continuing with her conversation with the other two. obviously, she didn't hear me correctly because she thought we wanted rice but we didn't. we wanted the sweet and sour tofu. i pointed to the tofu but she didn't want to sell it to us because we only wanted half a pound. i was like, come on, the amount of sweet and sour tofu left was less than half a pound. she could have sell it all to us. i was super annoyed!!! all this time, tryin to get their attention only to find out that they didn't want to sell it to us. the funny thing is... this is not the first time we order the sweet and sour tofu for half a pound, sometime we will order less and they will still give it to us. filled with anger, i left by sayin "chee seen!!!" i was outraged!!! sometime i wonder, if this rudeness happens to my mom almost every time she goes there when i'm not there...i wonder how many more pplz are goin through the same situation as my mom? usually, i mean hardly, i get angry easily...acutally, angry in general. i hardly get angry but yesterday for some odd reason, i was seriously outraged of what i was seein. i dink the workers (not all the workers but majority of them) have a bias against old pplz (ageism).
anyway, after this incident, i decided to called all my friends' parents, grandparents, and all elders to see if this happens to them too. anyway, i found out that this does happen to ever elders out there, especially if they have a lot of white hairs. majority of the pplz that said "yes" was pplz i noe that have a lot of white hair, and the pplz that said "sometime" was the pplz that have some white hairs and wrinkle but not fully. durin my findin, majority of them had a nickname for the co-workers there. it wasn't just the elders who told me this but also the very young parents in their mid 20's to early 30's. it was "duk chung de young mo lai mao." basically in translation "workers from duk chung do have not have any manners."
now, i have finally vented this out...i feel kinda better!!!!
