Laugh Quotes

Do you follow this saying “People who don’t like their beliefs being laughed at shouldn’t have such funny beliefs” ?

For example.. in the Quran it says that the stars were created to stop the deamnos from hearing Allah’s angels talking, that was a funny belief, should i laugh at it ?

37:8They cannot listen to the exalted assembly and they are thrown at from every side,
37:9Being driven off, and for them is a perpetual chastisement
37:10 Except him who snatches off but once, then there follows him a brightly shining flame.

Another example from the stuff i find funny in the quran :

27:18 Till, when they reached the Valley of the Ants, an ant exclaimed: O ants! Enter your dwellings lest Solomon and his armies crush you, unperceiving.
27:19 And (Solomon) smiled, laughing at her speech, and said: My Lord, arouse me to be thankful for Thy favour wherewith Thou hast favoured me and my parents, and to do good that shall be pleasing unto Thee, and include me in (the number of) Thy righteous slaves.

I’m 23,living in NYC, & will be moving downstairs from my fiances parents. They have a 33-year-old family friend , Maria, who lives 2 blocks down on the same street.

Recently, a position became available thru her job. They pay cash & it’s honestly a great environment. I work from 10am-5pm on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. She is full-time from Tuesday-Saturday, so I get to work alone two days of the week.

At first I thought I shouldn’t work with family or friends..but this is a family friend and she has always seemed cool. Wrong. After two days working with her she is already starting to slightly annoy me. You can tell the power trip is ever-so-slowly creeping to her head. She’s nice to me, but now it’s like she thinks she can slightly get over on me.

Example: On Saturday we go home together on the train( I can’t make an excuse about going another way without her because she lives on the SAME street stop that we get off at). Well, she takes her time, then says she has to go to the restroom and says ” Here, you wanna carry my purse and stuff” , which I felt was demeaning, I’m not a bag lady ,but ok no biggie. Then we are walking and she crosses the street to the other office and says ” You wait for me here outside, I will be right back”. I have no idea what she is doing and now I’m waiting on her like a dummy again when she knows, because I told her, that I must get home to move stuff into the new apartment and study for Nursing exams.

THEN, we are walking and she walks so fast it’s like I am a dumb puppy trying to keep up with her & all of a sudden she just stops, takes out her phone, and starts strolling…so now it’s like..monkey see monkey do and I’m supposed to walk at 2 mph side by side while I wait for her to gab on the phone? Apparently I didn’t notice she had slowed down enough and she says ” Geesh, I know you’re in a hurry but what do you want to run or something?” kind of like condescending and like I should be walking her pace. I thought that was really rude and I sort of bit my tongue because this is a family friend who is over at my fiance’s parents ALL THE TIME. I just laughed it off and said ” Do you want to run?” THen she says ” It’s fine, we don’t have to walk together, you can go” But she says it like she has distaste in her mouth, like if I do, she has this little bitchy attitude about it. So then we get into the train station she decides which train we are going to take and I just follow her she is saying ” That’s fine if you want to walk fast but I am NOT going to” (ok???).. normally you would get on the train and sit down..but she likes to keep walking towards the back, so in effort to not be awkward, again, I forfit and continue to tag along like an idiot. It’s like she does it to have power..does anyone know what I mean? Then she tells me ” You need to calm down, being 5 steps in front of me isn’t going to get you anywhere quicker” So I bite my tongue again but I just say ” This is why I don’t go home with women, because for me, going home isn’t a socializing event, I just want to get in and out.” then I sort of smile nicely and say ” I’m like a soldier..I just march march march”. She doesn’t smile back and acts like I am ridiculous or something.

This lady is still like a HS girl and I never realized it. She LOVES it when guys look at her and gets all giggly and it’s like she hates walking anywhere by herself. That’s fine, but I’m already forseeing that I can’t keep my mouth shut much longer, and when I open it, she’s the type that doesn’t know her place and it will prob be something bigger and I don’t want to create discomfort for the entire family and make them lose their friends. However, I don’t like that gossipy and bitchy attitude that she possesses and I don’t let people talk to me like that.

No offense, but she is from South America, just learned english, has no degree, and I’m supposed to have her talking down to me???? She’s an illegal alien still and works under the table and I am used to working in Manhattan. I dunno if I am making a big deal of it..but I have a lot of studying for Nursing to do and the test is on March 21st…so I’m wondering how I would even ask to quit, or if I can alter my schedule so that she doesn’t work with me at all.

I want to give a GOOD excuse because she is the type that will come up with new answers and questions. If I say I have to study she will say ” Oh you have enough time, just do it at night”..so I want a bullet-proof excuse that she can’t say anything to…SUGGESTIONS on how to handle her without having to lose my pride and dignity?
If you rather not answer my question, please STAR it for me thanks
JM e. You’re right. I didn’t “like” your answer but I respected it. YES, I need to learn how to speak my mind..and I do that..but MY thing is, I need advice on how to say it the right way because I’m pretty abrasive so I tend to try to keep my mouth shut. I don’t want confrontation due to the nature of the relationship..if she wasn’t my fiances close family friend, I wouldn’t even care. I am only being diplomatic out of respect for my family-in-law.
Nope, that’s the thing, she’s like a HS girl because she doesn’t like to walk places alone and you can tell it upsets her if I am not going to walk with her although she tries to play it off..it’s like she gets bitchy. GOSH, I always get into it with women..this is why I have just male friends..you can tell them stuff without having stuff blow up.
Wow, I think some of the answers are a bit harsh. Yes, I FEEL like a pushover and I truly don’t have a problem saying something but I am trying to approach this situation differently because she is someone who is close to the family. Do I care about what she thinks? HELL NO. BUt I don’t want to create drama for my fiances family..even though they wouldn’t be mad at me.
BTW, I’m not putting her down, I’m just saying that I’m used to working in a different class I guess you could say..and just because I am working at the same job means nothing..it’s just my weekend job that I do for extra cash, I have another job in Manhattan during the week..but I’m really not here to brag..I just want advice on how to handle it in a diplomatic manner.
Oh yeah, I can find another job..I work during the week anyway. This job really isn’t needed for me to make ends meets. My bills, which includes rent& fun money, are only $900 a month. My bf brings home 2,500+ as it is. We are just trying to save up because once I get into Nursing I won’t work for a year until I am finished.
