Ugaling Pinoy na di mo gusto.

Hindi marunong iagalang ang pila.

I remember an encounter with a rude lady in the grocery. My yaya and I were in a hurry to make it to my older daughter's dismissal so while we were in line at a cashier, I told her to transfer to the new lane that opened up. Since naunahan siya sa pila ng isang customer with a full cart, I decided to stay in our original lane, while yaya stayed in the new one. Para kung saan man mauna, dun kami magbabayad. Hawak ni yaya yung items while hawak ko yung younger daughter ko. I was watching intently the line where my yaya was in so I can gauge saan kami magbabayad. 5 mins after, I saw a lady fell in line right behind yaya. By this time, the customer ahead of yaya was handing the payment already so lumipat na din ako. Yaya was standing about a foot away from the counter right in front of our items. Then Rude Lady squeezed herself in between the yaya and the counter! To add to insult, she moved some of her items ahead of ours. So I nicely called her attention "Excuse me but we were ahead of you in the line". Parang walang narinig and she placed the rest of her items ahead of ours. (Ang laki laki naman ng space sa end ng counter). I told the yaya to hold my daughter and I moved directly in front of the cashier lady, pushing rude lady's items back and moving my items in front.

While the kahera was getting ready the machine for a new transaction, rude lady started pushing again her things forward towards the kahera. Then to my surprise nung kukuha na ng item yung kahera para i-scan, inabot ni rude lady yung item niya at na-scan nung kahera. Ay  teka bastusan na talaga. Tinaasan ko na siya ng boses "Don't you know how to fall in line? Can't you respect the fact that we were ahead of you? Kanina ka pa trying to push your items ahead of ours" She started making excuses na nilalagay lang niya yung gamit niya and accident lang na naabot yung item sa kahera. I told her I'm not stupid. She blatantly handed the item to the cashier. Tatatlo lang yung items namin.It's not as if we were hogging the whole counter space.

All along akala nung cashier magkasama kami ni rude lady. Tinanong ni cashier if pauunahin ko na lang ba. Im not letting this rude lady get her way that easy (plus she has a basketful of grocery) so I told the cashier to call her supervisor to have the item invalidated. Siyempre this took a couple of minutes. The supervisor was apologizing profusely (She knows me way back from another branch I frequent which she supervised too before). All the time I was giving the rude lady the stink eye. I have a lot of words to tell her but since may kasamang bata, I shut up. My actual transaction took fast since I only had 3 items plus I had the exact amount. Before leaving the counter I told the supervisor loud enough for rude lady to hear "O tingnan mo ang bilis lang sana. May ibang tao lang talaga ang hindi marunong pumila"

^nakakasira ng araw mga ganyang klaseng tao; style na nila na walang marinig kunyari. Ilang beses na rin akong nakipag-away maski lola pinatulan ko na.

Lagi na lang sa flights iyong boarding na dapat una ang mga nakaupo sa likod pero nakikipag-unahan itong mga nakaupo sa harap kasi they want to take all the space sa overhead storage. To those people, don't fly if you don't want to shell out a thousand pesos for extra baggage. Laking tuwa ko talaga pag nanghaharang Cebu Pacific sa mga may malalaking cabin baggage and pag pinapaalis sila nang pila pag nakita boarding pass.

This somewhat related to this thread.

My husband's aunt who works as social worker in Ontario messaged me on FB this morning. Me hawak daw kasi syang kaso regarding a Filipino family and would like to get my input.

This is about two boys that was taken out of the mother's care. The boy did not grow up with the mom. Mukhang naiwan sa tatay while the mom works here. The 13-year old boy and the dad finally came here about a year ago ata. Kaso namatay si dad, so automatic sa mother napunta. Isang anak daw na lalake eh bading but she is hostile to him so kinuha nila and put him in foster care. The 13-year old boy is still with her and they are investigating kung kailangan din kunin. I was told the mother doesn't let the son grieve. Pag daw nababanggit ang daddy, umiiyak daw and the mother gets mad. She is going to give me the whole write up later. But that's what I was told. Tinanong kasi ako kung gaano ka-open ang society natin sa LGBT community. I said, we're pretty tolerant. Kasi ang dami ko kakong friend and relatives na gays and lesbians so I am not quite sure of her issues with that. With regards kako sa parenting, she thinks that her son is not old enough to think and that she's the only one who knows the best. That usually is typical with uneducated parents and who grew up in remote areas of the country. Old fashioned style. What do you think? I mean, I don't want the boy(s) to grow up with other people but it sounds like the mom is not the best either.

[dismembered]

^ I think, walang dapat ibang ma-blame si mother kundi sarili nya kaya wag syang magalit.. But syempre mother pa rin sya, and dapat nasa custody nya. As long as walang legal basis para alisin sa care ni Mother, mukhang mahirap yun.

[hisana]

True. Hindi ko alam ang tawag dun, na kesyo hindi ka nagbigay eh automatically madamot ka na at ikaw pa ang masama. Weird sense of entitlement ba ito? Judgmental? Pakialamera sa pera ng may pera?

May nabasa akong comment sa starbucks ph facebook. Kesyo hiningi daw nya kung sticker nung nasa harap nya kasi hindi naman daw nangongolekta, but the person said no. Ang daming nagcomment na ang selfish naman daw nun. Meron pa ngang isang nagsabi na crab mentality daw (LOL). Para sa akin, it's her sticker and she can do whatever she wants with it. While we're being judgmental na rin, para sa skin, dapat nga nahiya pa yung humihingi sa ginagawa nya, intruding upon other customers over a sticker. Tapos nung hindi sya pagbigyan eh sasabihin yung isa pa ang masama.

[mysterioza_me]

Kaya ako kinakabahan ako kapag  di naman ka-close tapos biglang nag-pm e. Its either mag-aaya sumali sa networking or mangungutang. Nadala na ako magpautang sa ganyan kasi atat na atat na maglabas ka ng pera pero pagbayaran taon na di pa nagbayad. Yun naman makulit na mag-aya sumali sa networking ni-blocked ko sa messenger.

^lol susme si ate gusto pala ng planner hindi mag-ipon ng stickers gamit sariling pera niya, para sticker lang ikinasama pa ng loob niya.

One ugali that I don't like is yung "bahala na attitude" or may pagkapadalos-dalos sa pagbili ng kung ano-ano. Ex bibili ng car or worst maglo-loan ng car tapos wala pang-1yr di na alam paano mahuhulugan so ipapa-assume na lang sa ibang tao yung balance. Sometimes para lang makasunod sa uso bibili ng murang version without checking the reviews muna if it is a good buy tapos magsisisi kasi mabilis para masira, di maganda ang features etc

[yannuh]

mga may pagka crab-mentality na mga pinoy. kahit sa office may mga ganyan. ayaw ko na iexplain basta naiirita ko.

[mysterioza_me]

^Lol topic namin yang crab mentality na yan kanina. This officemate of mine is targetting her superior kasi alam niya she's next in line for promotion in case na maalis ang superior niya. She already did it twice kaya alam na namin likaw ng bituka niya. Sad na kailangan niya mang-apak just to get what she wants.

[sarsingkit]

Speaking of Starbucks planner, sobra na kasi yung consumerism sa pilipinas. Parang kailangan nakasabay lahat sa uso. Grabe na yung pagbili ng mga tao ng mga gamit. Ok lang naman if kaya mo pero if you are begging a stranger for stickers, hindi ba sobra na yun. Sya pa yung galit.

[mysterioza_me]

^di ba no sis, siya na nag-ask ng favor siya pa nagalit, sana nung di pumayag tinanggap na lang niya ng maluwag sa dibdib niya afterall hindi naman talaga lahat ng pabor na hihingin e napagbibigyan

[Purple_Power]

^^ Meron palang ganun begging stickers from strangers. Sinwerte lang ako na may nakatabi akong stranger sa starbucks and she offered me her 2 stickers kasi hindi siya interesado. Laking tuwa ko talaga nun.  Minsan lang ako sobrang naging seryoso sa starbucks planner pero as I realized kung magkano ang nagagastos ko para doon, not so worth kasi super mahal need mo pang uminom ng katutak na kape o mamahaling tea. sa BDJ na lang ako.

^Lol topic namin yang crab mentality na yan kanina. This officemate of mine is targetting her superior kasi alam niya she's next in line for promotion in case na maalis ang superior niya.

Good luck to her life marami ring challenges and responsibilities kapag superior ka. Mas mabigat ang balik sa kanya lalo na mga batikos.

Same din with the pila. Just yesterday ang haba ng pila sa tricycle and this girl saw a friend (whom is before me) at di na siya pumila. I was so not in the mood to be understanding so nagparinig talaga ako and i didnt let her sit (when it was available already). Tapos yung mga kasunod ko sinabihan ko na umupo na sila kasi nauna na kami. I would've just kept my mouth shut kung di naman ganun kahaba ang pila pero ang haba haba eh. The respectful thing to dk would've been na pumila na lang sa likod siya and yung friend niya, dahil ganun ginagawa ko. Pero kainis talaga ang kapal ng mukha niya.

[Chili1113]

^in all fairness, hindi lang Pinoy mahilig sumingit sa pila. I remember my Europe trip with my whole family we were lining up at the tax refund counter in an airport. Ganyan din.

I was standing in line , then some Chinese nationals were behind me, then the rest of my family were behind them. Then the Chinese made their  friends from their tour group join the line with them. (In other words the jumped the line right in front of my family, but were standing behind me) OK lang if they just made pa-singit 1-2 people, or elderly people. But no, medyo madami pinasingit nila. So i said:

Me: "Excuse me, but the line begins over there at the back"

Chinese: "But they are our friends and are travelling with us."

Me: "Well, my entire family is lining up right behind you, and if that is the case, I will ask my WHOLE family to jump the line and stay with me here."

Chinese: (they stare at me blankly and refuse to move, some roll their eyes at me)

Me: (Waving to my sister and rest of my family), "Guys you can ALL transfer here, SINCE THESE PEOPLE BEHIND ME think it is OK to let friends jump the line!"

Chinese: "Wait , wait! Nevermind our friends have decided to move to the back of the line."

Tourist in front of Me: "Thank you for doing that. Some people just are so rude."

So there... madami mainland chinese na ganyan. It happens almost everywhere I go. Pinoys like doing that, but thing with Pinoys is they are disciplined when they are outside of the Phils. Not like Mainland Chinese, grabe talaga, makikipag away pa mga yan para makipagsinigtan and I HATE it, and makikipag away din talaga ako.

[hunny_ally]

^Indians too. They also have a bad habit of pushing

[piatos]

^^sis chili, nafeel ko yung inis mo habang binabasa ko sarap bangasan

[iwannabeasupermodel]

yun nga mga sis. nung una pa nga ata gusto ni atey separate tricycle siya from others. naku pag ginawa niya talaga yun. hahaha. i cant believe some people do not even have an ounce of respect for others. hay.

[Shadow Angel]

Mga Chinese ganyan nga sila nangbabangga pa hindi marunong mag excuse at ang iingay parang mga ibong huni ng huni. Marami ganyan lahi mga rude like mga africans kahit nag excuse ka na nakatingin lang sayo.

[ficklemind]

natawa ako dun sa stranger asking for starbucks sticker? kaloka! true kung gusto magkaplanner gumastos ng sariling pera.
Nadala na ako dyan sa planner ng SB, 2009 ata nung nakijoin ako sa gulo, everyday ako nagcoffee para sa planner, nakuha ko agad. Natapos ang taon wala akong nasulat sa planner kahit isa lololol hinde na ako umulit ever.

[mysterioza_me]

Maka-goal naman ng SB planner akala mo may mga plano sa buhay hahaha. Meron ako nun last year kasi ginawa kong notebook sa training and meetings. Ngayon naman CBTL ang gamit ko, ganun din, gagawin ko lang notebook saka natuwa ako sa mga drawing e kaya kinulayan ko. Pero never ako nagpost ng pic ng planner sa social media, yung iba nag-uumapaw pa sa hashtags ang post, ang funny lang.

Hilig mag-join sa bandwagon.

[yannuh]

^nagsawa na din ako sa pagcocollect ng sbux stickers for a planner. majournal akong tao before, nung single pa ko dami ko time haha. pero ngayon waley na. naka 3 yrs ata akong nakaipon for a planner tapos bigay ni bf then yung 1 so talagang napapakinabangan ko sya. now hindi na so pointless if makikijoin pa ko sa kanila. saka di ako mahilig magkape, struggle mag ipon pag ganun haha

and yes annoying yung mga pathetic sa stickers para lang sa planner. haha
