Know thyself

May 29th, 2003 @ 10:13 AM in Rants

I think my father has decided to make my life harder than it is now. Well, not exactly, but he does’t know himself, and this makes my life harder.

Even though he does’t understand or speak English well enough, he gets ahead of himself and tries to do stuffs, which I have to take care of later on. You see, we received new credit cards under my name and my mothe’s, and they had to be activated by calling a number on the card. You know what he did? He called the number himself and tried to activate them, but he could’t even answer a simple question, “Wha’s your birthdate?”

So my mother had me speak to the guy, and obviously, the guy got confused out of his mind, and I had to explain who was who and stuffs.

Why does he make things more difficult for me??? :? He should acknowledge that he ca’t communicate in English.

And even when we go to docto’s appointments, etc., he basically pushes me aside and talks to the receptionist, and I have to “butt in” in the end, because he gets “stuck.”

“Know thyself.” :roll:

    Yup, he’s everything — stubborn, arrogant, inconsiderate, hypocritical, hot-tempered, and know-it-all. o_O
