Example:
My parents are frugal af and refuse to get a new phone charger and tries to “fix it”. I think my mom mentioned it caught on fire (or sparks) once or something like that…
So I was like: “Just get a new one for fucks sakes … Oh I mean I guess you can keep using it… the house is insured, fire is included in the policy, so I guess it’s fine.”
Then my mom gets mad because it’s “bad luck” to say stuff like this… as if somehow making this joke is gonna have a cause-effect to the house catching on fire… 🤔
Like are they afraid of angering the Gods? Spirits? Wut lmao?
🤦♂️
My parents are from China… 🙃
They get especially mad when I say “negative” things the closer it gets to lunar new year (two weeks ago?)
Aparantly they get so worried about my therapy/psychaitry appointment which was also about 2 weeks ago because its bad luck or some shit…
Sure mom, news years is exactly what I need to “cleanse my spirit of evil” because obviously depression does not exist its its evil spirits latching on to me and I need some necklace with jade in it to “repel evil spirits”
🤦♂️
