feeling entitled

garbage is collected in our  street six times a week, monday to saturday.  you're supposed to just put your trash outside for collection.


when my dad was still alive, he used to go out to give the garbage collectors a tip every single time.

when he passed away, my mom continued the 'tradition' but halved the tip 🤭.  she tasked the help with handing out the tips.

this morning my mom's help told me she wasn't around one time the garbage collector came so when he saw her next he told her,
"may utang ka pa sa 'kin."
->  you owe me money (i.e., the tip).

wahaha...  you do a favor for too long, the recipient starts to view it as your obligation.
