MY MOTHER! (20 points for you who guessed before reading that)

1. Never admitting she is wrong
(Never may be a strong word, but I have NEVER [seriously NEVER] heard her utter a word of apology or "I am wrong" to me nor my family members before)
eg. I broke a plate, I'm wrong. She drops something, its the fault of the object, the floor, a horoscope or whatever happened to be affecting her at some point. As long as it wasn't her per se (even when it really is her fault when she's clumsy)

2. Not listen to people. Period.
eg. My dad giving her advice on her golf swing. Me giving her advice to pursue a scholarship to England instead of Australia (she almost lost both due to her inability to decide)

2.5. Her inability to decide.

3. Her thirst for revenge on her enemies and justifying it morally anyway.
(For those of you out there, Revenge is WRONG! it is EVIL! it is not something that you can justify doing to anyone whatsoever. AND even if you do fulfill it, all it starts is a new cycle of hatred and revenge. So there!)
eg. in her own words, "I go to church...so that I can pray that something bad happens to those who have wronged me"

4. Her stinginess.
eg. not opening the gate fully so that electricity won't be wasted, using laundry water (the dirty stuff) to "wash" the driveway and sometimes her car.

5. Her lack of an ability to make friends with people who do not share the same opinion as her.
eg. everyone of my friends, my brother's friends and my father's friends.

6. Her love of embarassing other people (mostly me).
eg. Liking to repeat stories I'd rather reserve for those more intimate to me or those I'm close to.

7. Her unreasonableness.
eg. why would you want a large house when there are only going to be 2 (or 3) people staying in it?

8. Her Stubborness.
eg. see no.1

9. Her inability to throw anything away.
eg. there are about 9 stacks of her files in my house. And she complains about the lack of space.

10. Her endless list of complaints.
eg. I want a bigger house (but I refuse to pay a dime for it), why are there so many mosquitoes? (because of the big ass tree behind our house), our garden not as nice as other ppl's (even though I put a minimalistic amount of effort and finance into it)

11. She really...really, really cant stop talking.
eg. eating, watching tv, reading. Sleeping as an exception. And she talks about the most nonsensical things that I can't mention here as part of her privacy.

12. Her inability to compromise
eg. I offer her a win-win compromise, she offers the she win I lose (everytime).

13. Her Pride (sometimes at not doing anything)
eg. "Wow, your mangoes very sweet ah aunty"
"Yeah, the tree grow by itself wan. I never water, never take care of it"
Me: "Yeap. Just like me"

14. Her cowardice
eg. She boasts to me that she did this, did that, said this, said that to people who made her angry
and when I ask, "did you actually say that to their faces?"
the answer, everytime, a big fat "No, but I was thinking it..."
=.=|||
and I don't think she's ever stood up to me when I scold her. She does slink away and make some excuses tho. =).
