Jackass

Nosy people are annoying; noisy people, maybe not that bad.

But combine these two into one person, and you'll maximise the effect of annoyance.

Was helping Mum cleaning up after dinner that day. I was cleaning the tablecloth with a bound-to-explode stomach, and due to that much of inefficiency I was being labelled by Mum as "worse than a girl". (Yikes)

Then, exactly after one second, we heard someone laughing behind our house and we fell silent, surprised. Apparently, one of the ladies working in the signboard-making company behind our house overheard our conversation. And she had a 'good' reputation of laughing resembling a jackass (well, wanna put in hyena but I decided to be honest here.)

Lesson learnt here: Eavesdropping is already rude enough, but laughing at what you're eavesdropping ON THE SPOT makes you a jerk.
