General Etiquette 101

1. When you're a guest in someone's house and they make you breakfast, say "Thank You", not "Rajinnye" unless you feel like getting your face bitch-slapped by telur mata yang tengah panas lagi tu.

2. When you go out with no intentions of inviting someone langsung, and they suddenly show up at the same shop for a meal, maybe you should thank them for paying for your meal instead of making jokes about "untungnya, diorang datang, kita takyah bayar! lalalalalallalala" and then not even bother to show any gratitude whatsoever.

Aku bukan berkira lah. Tapi in the first place it's not like we were wanted there pun kan or else mesti kena ajak? With proper etiquette though, I don't mind paying for you. Sumpah, tak kisah. But then bila keluar perangai tu, coming from someone yang dah almost nak grad uni and dah besar panjang, dah boleh nak kawin dah, (depan an impressionable young teenager pulak tu), keluar la perangai tak ikhlas aku jugak. Fair la kan? Ko keluar perangai taik, aku pun keluar jugak perangai camtu.

Kalau aku cakap depan2 nanti jadi hal lain, so biar aku cakap kat sini.

Trust me, honey, "Please" and "Thank You"s are NEVER overrated. Don't forget that.
