I found it getting increasing hard to get along with Hero recently.....
He :
1. is easily agitated
2. nag for the TINIEST of reasons
3. does things in his own 'unique' way
4. keep switching channels when watching TV, causing much displeasure to 'co-watchers'
5. other misc. which I do not wish to mention here.....
Case Study 1 :
Some time back, the stove was spoilt due to a blocked/damaged vent. The repairman suggested replacing it for safety reason which I agreed. He recommended us a brand new stove for $360 which is already rather cheap as compared to those retail shops. However, when told of the price after the purchase, Hero flew into a rage and keep scolding and nagging about us having been cheated by that guy. He'd still be at it today if reminded.....
Case Study 2 :
My sister was asking him for her old report card so that she could register her soon to be Primary One daughter in her old school, CHIJ Bukit Timah. Hero got agitated again... scolding her for intending to put her daughter in a school thats about 15mins bus-ride away rather than in the numerous (3 actually) primary schools around our vicinity. Oh, did I ever mention before that my sister currently stays about 5mins walk from us? She's be moving to her new place near the CCK MRT soon but thats still about 15mins from her preferring school. I simply could not see the reason for him to get angry over a report card or where my sister is sending her daughter for schooling.
Case Study 3 :
My sister once wanted to replace her main door for a fire-proofed one and she got the contractor to replace our's too. When she brought the contractor over to do a site-survey, he screamed at him about 'cheating' us and all those stories.... My sister ended up having to apologise to that poor fellow who got scolded for nothing, and we STILL didn't get the door changed.
Can anyone please teach me how to get along with him?
PS : He's now still nagging away in Hokkien to Zarah..... :s
