What makes you roll your eyes every time you hear it?

Nah, I’m not that good :joy: When I’m super excited and want to tell something… Then this happens… :roll_eyes: :sweat_smile:

THIS is what makes me eye roll:

A person: So where do you come from , UK?
Me: no actually , I come from Latvia
A person: ohhhhhhh right , Latvia is in Africa right? Or is it a continent?
Me: …
ENDS CONVO

So as you can see there are two things that make me eye roll
1.the person judges my “british” accent to guess where I am from .

  1. The person has no clue where the country I’m from is and instead of telling me , guesses .
    Also if you don’t know where Latvia is or WHAT Latvia is , it’s a country in Europe and bordered to Lithuania and Estonia (and is a pretty small country!)

I feel the same about my country. :unamused: When I tell someone I’m from Slovakia, they are like:
a) Cool. Do you mean Slovenia?
b) Isn’t it called Czechoslovakia?
c) Where is it? In Asia?

OMG, it’s in freakin Europe. It’s not Slovenia nor Czechoslovakia, not even Czech Republic.
Got it? :woman_facepalming:

Yeah! Just don’t try to guess! It’s like only a person who teaches European countries or an expert on countries would know where the heck Latvia is !

When someone assumes or asks me if I’m related to someone solely because we’re both black but look nothing like each other, are from different countries etc. :roll_eyes:

When someone says: you women are all the same: all of you use a lot of makeup, all of you are late for the meetings at least an hour and not to forget that your role in the world is to wash the dishes…

Yeah! Women can do many more things than “wash the dishes”(although I am a pro ) . Some people just need to get it in their minds that not all woman spend 3 hours applying 2 tubs of make up !

Relating to the recent posts but when someone says a particular thing is a woman’s job or a man’s job.

You cannot gender jobs ffs - my mum says something is “beti kham” or “betta kham” (women/men’s jobs). I tell her a lot not to say that though bc I disagree with this idea.

It’s funny how some of the guys don’t do shit and tell women to do women jobs like housework but these men are in fact dependent entirely on the woman.

It’s ridiculous and I am sure as hell trying to dodge that kinda man - actually I would flykick the backwardness outta him. Some younger guys I know need to wake the freak up I swear.
