"I'm in my early 40s, do you call me Auntie?" Look I can't kill you"! It was a fierce war sparked by salutations, which ended up not only mediating with the police, but also attracting reporters. So, what should I call someone else reasonable? What does it mean for each region to refer to others by way of seemingly bizarre titles? Speaking of which, let's take a look at these strange customs.
Ms. Xing, a 41-year-old woman in Hangzhou, went to a supermarket one day after work to buy groceries, and when she came to the cash register to check out, a 29-year-old female clerk said to her: "Auntie, your things have been scanned."
When Ms. Xing heard the other party call herself like this, she was very upset in her heart, and she decided that the clerk deliberately called herself old and disrespected herself. So he said to the clerk, "I don't seem to be a few years older than you, how can you call me aunt?" ”。
What Ms. Xing did not expect was that the clerk not only did not change his mouth and admit his mistake, but even replied: "What is wrong with my name like this?" Grow old, others can't call? ”
This infuriated Ms. Xing, who took out her mobile phone to shoot and asked the clerk to apologize. The clerk took a look, yo, which one are you playing, and took the mobile phone to shoot me, and then gave a blank look and dropped the two words "nerves".
At this point, Ms. Xing completely collapsed, could no longer control herself, and directly opened the language bombardment mode to the clerk, and all kinds of ugly words soared out, lasting more than 10 minutes.
In the face of this situation, the clerk's emotions eventually erupted like a volcano, and he came out of the counter and wrestled with Ms. Xing. After the two were pulled apart by bystanders, Ms. Xing reported to the police, and the police comrades checked the surveillance and mediated. In the end, the clerk compensated 500 yuan, but preferred to quit his job rather than apologize.
In fact, Ms. Xing was only called an aunt and received 500 yuan in compensation, which is supposed to have earned, and then it should be calm! However, Ms. Xing has always been grumpy about the clerk's refusal to apologize, and she can't swallow this evil breath in her heart, so she found a reporter and came to the store again to theorize.
Looking at the whole story, it was originally a small thing that could not be smaller, but it caused the police and reporters to move. It can only be said that Ms. Xing is too sensitive and narrow-minded, and the clerk is too stubborn. If Ms. Xing could smile generously at the beginning, or if the clerk could know the fun in time and take a soft correction of the salutation language, maybe this matter would not have caused a fuss at all.
For this matter, some netizens believe that the clerk has no sense of service, and some think that the clerk is not suitable for the sales industry, and resignation is also deserved. Others say that Ms. Xing is too pretentious, should be open-minded, and there is never a mistake in being lenient.
This reminds me of an interesting phenomenon. In ancient times, the Tang Dynasty thought fat was beautiful, and now it is beautiful to be thin. In the past, people liked others to call themselves big and respect their length, for example, in the past, some people would use Aunt Ben and Uncle Ben as their mantras. Look at the present, calling other people's generations higher will make others unhappy, and everyone likes others to treat themselves as babies. Time has changed, and people's aesthetics, thoughts, and customs and habits will change over time.
A netizen commented that in the place where I lived, the old man also called our young people aunts, probably women would call aunts. At first, I was very unhappy, but then I asked the locals, and they said that the people here are like this custom.
I think it is true that the customs and habits vary from place to place. I remember when I was in my early 20s, I went to Suzhou to work, and the landlord's neighbor's grandmother was very enthusiastic in her eighties, and every time she saw me, she was a little brother shouting. At that time, I was particularly speechless, thinking, you are older than my grandmother, call me a 20-year-old boy little brother, don't you think it is inappropriate? And she wasn't the only one who called it that.
Later, after staying in this place for a long time, I understood that the original local elders called the little brother, which is a custom and custom, and the little brother in this context is not the literal meaning of younger brother and sister, but the equivalent of the meaning of the young man.
There are also the customs of my hometown, my grandmother, my aunt, my great aunt, my neighbor's grandmother and grandmother, anyway, the people in the village who are older than my mother or older are calling my mother Sister Feng, but the generation or age must not be called like this, they should call the aunt a sister-in-law, they should call the sister-in-law a sister-in-law.
This kind of title is called by the elders according to the ranking of married junior women among the brothers and sisters of the mother's family, my mother's surname is Feng, and she is the eldest among the brothers and sisters, so the in-laws and parents are called Feng sister. My neighbor's eldest wife's surname is Zhang, and she is the second eldest among her brothers and sisters, so her in-laws and parents call her Second Sister Zhang. In fact, this big sister and second sister are not literally the meaning of sister and sister, but are equivalent to calling each other Feng Jia Dani, Zhang Jia Er Ni, Li Jia San Ni meaning. I have to sigh that our language is indeed profound.
Who do you think is right and who is wrong with Ms. Xing and the clerk? Would you mind if someone calls you that? Do you have a different custom in calling other people?
