She's Chinese, boyfriend is Chinese, but apparently saying, "Hello Aunty" or "Hello Mrs. Wong" just isn't a thing for this generation.
The mom said it's a little weird, but she doesn't think it's a huge deal, but her husband hates it. I guess kids these days are brought up a different way.
I have two young boys and they have always been taught to say hello aunty or hello uncle. Kind of weird this generation doesn't do that. | Quote:

on the other hand...
i was at dim sum with my parents awhile back and we bumped into one of my mom's friend and her family. her son has to be in his late 20s if not 30s, totally gives me 裙腳仔 (mama's boy) vibes. his mom tells him to 叫人 (say hi) and he calls me 哥哥 and i was like da fuck u call me

Track days coming up, need the oil, corvette gHeezers also state i can run 10w40
Unlike your case, buying from USA shows no savings.
If i go down to walmart USA i may guangdong the back of my car with 5L jugs

Longest day of the year and my AC is off, it's raining, and I had to put a sweater on in the Kelowna / Vernon area.

I was thinking of Guangdong hoarding the Mobil 1 5W50 but decided against it as 5W40 was plentiful and regularly on sale. I got curious about 5W50 as Porsche issued a technical bulletin for "Classic" cars, and will change over to it in July for the summer track season.

Lordco is the fucking worst. Double the price of anywhere else, absolute fuckheads that work there as well.

I needed a bunch of miscellaneous parts that I only needed like 1-2 of, and the Lordco by my house just gave me them all, free, because I've been a good customer for fluids, air fresheners, and gasket sealant and such...
I'll never forget when RockAuto had my minivan's brake pads for $10 and the best deal Lordco had was $180.

There’s one good dude at the lordco right by my house, and a nice woman as a cashier but the other parts guys are such assholes.

If you're buying from Lordco, please tell me you are at least using some sort of account with discounts? Lordco's "normal" price is ridiculous, but when you use one of their accounts, prices could range from anywhere between less ridiculous to 1/2 decent.
Come to think of it, didn't RS has one of those?

I certainly don’t have one or access to one. There was a bmwccbc one but doesn’t exist anymore. Pretty sure lordco cracked down on all of that and just exists to fuck people.
