Entitled Mom Bullies Tutor To Teach Daughter French For $5/h, Shows Her True Colors When She Hears The Answer
Rokas L BoredPanda staff
When someone’s doing you a favor, you make sure they feel their effort is appreciated, right? Well, not if you want to sound like an entitled tool and infuriate everyone. When translator and tutor Anna Noblesse agreed to help her boss, she didn’t know what she was getting herself into. Anna’s boss introduced her to a woman who was searching for a private French tutor for her daughter. As a gesture of her good will, Anna offered the woman a 20% discount. But that wasn’t enough. She started bullying Anna into working 10 times cheaper than her normal rate and used every dirty trick she could think of, including blackmail. Her arguments were so ridiculous, Anna even decided to share the conversation online. Scroll down to check out the exchange that has already angered all of reddit, and let us think what you think of it in the comments.

the best phrase to finish an unfriendly conversation :)
That just came out of nowhere. What does that even mean?
They're lyrics from a song in an old musical. "You say potato, I say potahto...let's call the whole thing off!"

Fun fact: a lot of russians used to speak french in the 18th century. The "nobility" thought it elevated them above the "common" folk.
French was also used in many other countries when people were discussing with the foreign visitors like diplomats. Later the 'international language' was changed to English.
Yep, hence the phrase "Lingua Franca"! ('Frankish tongue' tongue meaning language and Frankish meaning 'of the Franks', who kindasorta are now the French) Which, amusingly, is still referred to as such even though it's usually a form of English, now.
@Tiger that phrase actually dates back from the middle ages. "Lingua franca" means "language of the merchants", so no issue in using it to refer to English.
The only time I've ever gotten down voted here (a couple fo weeks ago) was when I said, "English is now the world's 'lingua franca'." After seeing the 10+ negatives I went and explained it but I haven't ever checked to see whether anyone had learned.
All the way to WWI, French was the language of international diplomacy and business in the entire Western World. The Founding Fathers were fluent.
@Whatevers - you're such an idiot that current psychoanalysis knowledge couldn't scale the extent of your stupidity and dumbness... Canada's ties with the UK are merely symbolic since the Constitution Act of 1982, you ignorant fool ! YOU, you learn your history...
@Whatever - You're a moron, you know that? ALL of the Founding Fathers spoke French and were literate in Latin. Don't be a putz.

That's not true. Learn your history. Founding fathers were NOT fluent in French or any other language. FYI English is the answer since half the world was ruled by the British during that time frame. Also why the Australian flag has a British flag in the top left corner and why Canada is still kinda ruled by the Queen under the prime minister.
Actually, no. All the nobles spoke only French, because we have two Russian languages, one for church and one for commoners. Church one was no good for having a conversation. Commoners spoke two crudly. That became a very large problem during Napoleon war. Eventually Pushkin through his writing created a combination of the two that worked for nobility. We speak it to this day.
In this case it does.
Actually, French was and still is the language diplomats use, even at the UNO because it has ways of saying things without actually coming out and saying them.
The boss must've been really embarrassed!! I can only imagine how the next conversation went with his sister.
