I can’t recall whether I have posted this before or not but certainly it is worth to be addressed. I’d like to direct your attention to this one particular problem, there’s this person I know (for privacy sake I’ll refer this person as a friend), whose wife is a completely arrogant bitch. For your info, our native language is not English therefore, anybody who speaks that universal language is considered an educated person. So this particular woman, thinks that she is above everyone else just because she speaks the lingo and she’s currently staying in a certain European country pursuing a certain course. She even treats her mother-in-law like the m-i-l was a nobody just because she’s highly educated. I was absolutely disgusted when she called herself a professional. I can’t help but puke at her words. What kind of an educated person that goes around looking down at other people? Isn’t that an attitude of an asshole?
I feel really sorry for the husband. He was so shocked when he found out about it. In our society, respect for the elders especially those who are in your family is above everything. And to have your spouse/partner to show disrespect to your own parents is incredibly a horrible thing.
I was initially hesitant to post about this topic because it touches the lives of other people but I feel that it is important to educate people to learn to respect other people regardless of their social status.

Wow, that is really disrespectful. I know it would not have been such a big deal had it been someone she was not related to by blood or by marriage, but that is disrespectful and rude.
Being proud is one thing but being arrogant is taking it to the extreme. I know I have been a little arrogant at times, knowing what I’m good at and that I might be better than everyone else (say, web design when it comes to beginners) but when it comes to your own mother-in-law, it is just so wrong. I can imagine how upset her husband might have been. Even I get a in a little tiff with James when he says something about my mum – it might not be rude; it’s just an observation or something, but it can get to people. If people know how you treat others then they very well may see you in a different light.
You’re right, sometimes we might love someone even though our love may not be returned. I have to agree, though, if you are hurt by love, you really do learn. I don’t know where I’d be without my past relationships; they taught me a lot.
Agh it does.
The licences only last three years and I thought it was enough, but I guess it’s not. My mum has been really busy and so have I, so I haven’t driven in a year or something. 
I know I’ll be forgetting a lot of things about driving.
Oh well, it’s not hugely important to me now. But it’s still annoying about my licence expiring and all that being a waste seeing as I have to start over with the hours (people lie anyway though). I had to do 50 but if I renew, I’m going to have to do 120. I can’t park for shit lol.
I think Google is our saviour sometimes. When I have one line of a song often I can Google it and find out what it was! But Google isn’t uber smart and sometimes we can’t describe something to it to see if it understands. It’s pretty difficult. ):

I’ve always been brought up with the mind set of treating others the way you would like to be treated – or as I tend to do, treating others the way I would want my mother to be treated and the idea of treating people as somewhat inferior due to education or language? That troubles me greatly. I’m trying not to judge, as its not my place, but I feel so very sorry for the people in her life, especially – as you have said – her husband.

I also feel badly for the husband, but how did he not know this about her before the marriage? In your culture, do people get to spend time together and get to know each other before they get married?
Dear me, I hope you’re not literally puking at her words, or you’d be feeling quite horrible all the time.
#903 Georgina says:
Hehe thanks for the comment, Kitty! :) I agree with you; anyone can sing – some are just talented and better than others. We’re not all good or perfect but we all CAN.
Thank you! I hope I do well. <3 I noticed you got a new gravatar. XD

Wow, that’s just stupid. Just because she can fluently speak a language other than her native tongue, doesn’t prove if she’s any good. But clearly, she isn’t.
What’s the goddamn point of her being highly educated in the brains if she’s not highly educated in her heart? Being educated isn’t really about showing it off by being arrogant, it matters on how well your educations were used. If that made any sense, those words would worth it. XD
Professional? More like professionally bitchy. I was a bit gobsmacked by the fact she’s also unkind and disrespectful towards her mother-in-law. I hope she doesn’t treat her parents like that as well.
Everyone deserves to be treated fairly regardless of their backgrounds or social status, like you said. Yeah, things like this should be mentioned and kept in mind regularly.
Excuse my extravagant use of cursing/swearing. :)

Hun, I feel for you. It is hard to deal with people who are arrogant and don’t try to have a meaningful, reciprocal, relationship with others. To be angry is understandable, but I hope you have learned to let it go.
Anger is an unhealthy emotion to hold for long periods of times. Also, as much as you’d like to fix the problem, it isn’t yours to fix. The husband will either get fed up with her lack of respect for him and his family, or she will wake up and realize the education doesn’t make one a better person.

I didn’t visit your site for a long time already :O I don’t know you’re teaching right now. Teacher training?
The “professional” wife is super rude! I despise that kind of people because they thought they have everything. Education is not a license to be rude.
Nowadays, a lot of people can speak English fluently with accent too. Asians should erase that kind of perspective. It is not valid anymore.
I have an aunt like that. She is super rude! She think she is in a very different standard from everyone because she is a professor at a famous university. She ALWAYS tried to speak in english in front of my relative when my english is better than her. My english is urghh btw.

Yeah I am currently a teacher-in-training. We call it Teaching Practice here. :)
Yeah, it is really shi**y to have someone like that within my circle of acquaintance. I don’t know if it is an Asian thing to have people being all snobby just because they can speak English fluently and having “Western education”.
I miss visiting your site. What ever happened to it? Will you come back to the blogging world?

What a bitch! She isn’t educated at all, she’s just a show off. A well educated person will definitely respect others regardless of their background.
It’s sort of similar in China/HK. People who can speak & write English well are considered well educated as they are taught that in school or they work for an international company that requires English (meaning that they are likely to be high up in the rank). There are people here that go round acting like they know the place just because they can speak a bit of broken English. I love it go I go there with my friends because we would embarass these people by speaking English to each other. Off course our English will be perfectly and not broken at all since we’re bought it in the UK. Makes those people feel really embarass and they’ll just walk away. I really really hate people like that, think they’re so good just because they can speak a particular language.

I was always taught to respect your elders and all that stuff. So an “elder” person would have to SEVERELY piss me off in order for me to show the slightest bit of disrespect toward them. I’m not one to put up with garbage from people, but I tend to think twice when it’s adult or someone older than me. That’s just how I was raised. Like I said, you’d have to really set me off for me to disrespect you when you’re older. I tend to treat others the age of which they act, as I learned due to one incident which only further backs up what I’ve said.
I find that appalling that she has the nerve to disrespect her in-law. That’s pretty low. I don’t care how “educated” you are, you shouldn’t treat your in-law like garbage. ESPECIALLY when they’ve done nothing wrong. o_o;

What a rude and disrespectful person! Just WHO does she think to be? :what?!: Being so lucky to have been given the chance to study and get a high education is no excuse for bashing and looking down on others who simply did not have HER luck or her talent possibly. I do feel sorry for her family too, and I hope she’ll learn to treat others with respect if she wants to be respected too, since she’s no better human being than others can be. Also: she should learn some gratitude too, to people who took her in their lives, accepted her and love her as one of the family.
- Enterprise, out.
#966 Gretch says:
Wow, what a bitchy woman.She got some nerve. Poor husband. How did he manage to snag her without knowing her to that extent anyway?
or did he love her too much that it’s okay for him if his mother is treated that way?
No matter how “educated” she is, if she got an attitude like that,I don’t think she can be considered a “Professional”. :what?!:
