People and their weird/funny ways

[Sister.]

ooo i just remembered something i was meant to post in the initial post on this thread but didn't remember it-
the computer is where i sleep, and once during the FIFA world cup this year, my brother came in and was on it and after a while he got up and left the house, i thought maybe he went to get some maccas, then he comes back like 5 minutes later and sits back down at the computer with no food or anything...and I'm just like...? ok then.
then he gets up and is about to leave again, and I thought ok where the heck is this guy going (it was like 12am, mind you) so I confront him as he's about to leave through the laundry, and it went like this:

me: where are you going?
him: to aunty's place to watch the soccer with cousins
me: ok, so where did you go before?
him: to aunty's place
me: so why did you come back?
him: (in a very matter-of-fact tone) well you seee, I forgot the keys to the laundry door and i had to come back and get them so when I come home at like 3am I don't have to wake you guys up to open the door for me.
me: right. so how did you get into the house to get the keys?
him: (goes into thought for a bit)
me: you're an idiot
him: OH! right! hahaha!

Yes, I've seen it on men, not only in Indonesia but alos in other Asian country (not going to mention which country . Maybe I should mention what they will use that long fingernail for

this isn't weird or funny, but it's a little annoying!

when me and my brother were younger and parents would talk to family overseas, they would be like "oh yeah the kids are good, HERE, TALK TO THEM!" and me and my brother would just shake our heads furiously like "no no no! don't make us do it!" but no they wouldn't listen, until eventually every time a call came from overseas, we would just *disappear* somewhere lol so they stopped asking us for ages and ages........

........until today
dad called up his sister in Afghanistan, and the same old convo took place:

dad: Eid mubarak how is everyone? blah blah blah
her: (i assume) Eid mubarak, blah blah blah how are the kids?
dad: they're good everyone's good! here talk to _____ and see if she speaks in pashto well or not!
me: *furiously shaking head and frowning*
dad: *holding phone out to me* it's my sister! it's MY SISTER!
me: salaam aunty, Eid mubarak..........

In the Philippines, they love using a popular brand name to refer to a certain product. For example:

Mr. A: Can you get me some Colgate?
Mr. B: Which one?
Mr. A: Close Up

Ok so one thing I CANNOT stand is when men grow their pinky nail so long and cut the other nails, and they like open can tops with it. IT'S SO GROSS AND DISGUSTING and it gives me goosbumps!!! I HATE LONG TOENAILS AS WELL.

whoever reads this and has a long pinkyfinger nail GO CUT IT OFF, like now. it's not atrractive and it's so woggy and just gross and hideous.

Whoa! That sounds cool!
I'm gonna start doing this now!
Thanks for the tip!

this reminds me of whenever we would start talking about an mp3 player, my younger cousins would be like "oh sony released an iPod too" and I'd be like "no, it's an mp3 player" and when I got an mp3 player, I can't remember what brand it was now, but my cousins were like "oh did you get an iPod?"
"no, guys it's an mp3 player, iPod is a completely different brand of mp3 player"
took them a while to comprehend it lol

just made myself a black coffee, and it reminded me of how aaages ago when I first made myself one at home, my mum went beserk! she was like "don't have black coffee! having black coffee makes you want to smoke cigarettes!"
lol I've had several since then and am yet to crave a ciggie (eukh)

that reminds me of when I bought condensed milk and both my parents were like oh NESTLE, our mums used to always feed us NESTLE when we were babies.

n they always refer to condensed milk as nestle. It was the baby food back in Lebanon lol.

:S how odd

well my brother used to stick a french fry in his coke at maccas and use it as a straw

each to their own, I suppose

SubhanAllah what a mix of emotions this evening. From that media story to what happened earlier before.

We had guests over and they were praying in the lounge room. You can just imagine how quiet it was.. Then all of a sudden out of nowhere, the ladies phone goes off so loudly to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" song

Had to help turn it off. Her kids loaded it on without her not knowing. It was a laugh..

That's like how Arabs call tissues 'kleenex'.
Actually I think the English do that too. And the Americans.
Actually I think we're the only ones that call them tissues!

Oh and I am just a weird cookie , that when my son starts crying in the loungeroom and I've gone to the bedroom I come running to the loungeroom going Ablewghbahahawhahaha... while running like a penguin, then he laughs...

[Sister.]

^ sis you're not weird, you're really cute mashaAllah. if a kid started crying in front of me, and this has happened, i just give them to their mother!
like at the brunch, sis aussiemu's younger daughter was entrusted to me (lol mistake!) and i had averted my gaze for a bit and when I turned back she had a bit of paper in her mouth from the brunch ticket! first i held my hand in front of her mouth hoping she would simply spit it out, but she wouldn't lol (surprise surprise) so i had to put my finger in her mouth and try and get it out, and even though i was trying my best to be gentle she started crying! and i stood up looking for aussiemu lol who alhamdulillah came in like 10 seconds and took her from me, as well as successfully take the paper out!

anywho my weird post thingy is one about myself unfortunately, i have this annoying habit of laughing when other people are silent. it's weirded my family out on several occasions, it's especially annoying when i'm brushing my teeth and i just randomly remember something really funny and try not to get toothpaste everywhere!

[Ummi_Abdulmalik]

I remember when I was small I had a friend over and we were eating cereal and my sister said something funny to which i couldn't contain the milk and cornflakes in my mouth and spat it all over my friends face and in her hair... I didn't mean it but my dad got really angry at me...

[Sister.]

^that reminds me, when i was younger (like 5-6 years old I think) we had my grandmas family over for dinner, and when Afghans eat they generally eat on the floor and lay out a big plastic mat thing to put all the food on, anyway so we were eating right and my grandma was sitting next to me and i had a cup of coke, i'd take a sip and then turn and burp right in her ear! yucky astaghfirullah, so i did it a few times until eventually she was like "stop burping in my ear please" and i just laughed but my dad heard her and he yelled at me

[Ummi_Abdulmalik]

I've ruined my dad's reputation in many things lol, I'm sure he'd be too ashamed now to re-join the ALP...bahah

In Singapore they call nappies "pampers".

What the...?

When I was hanging around with Somalis and eat at their houses, they told me that all Somalis eat their spaghetti bolognese with bananas.

Maybe it was a joke. Maybe they were secretly laughing their heads off: "Haahahahaha, can't believe we got this white guy to eat banana with his spaghetti bolognese!"
