Don't you just love People?

It’s funny how people react to certain situations. I always say that humans are equal, that their similarities surpass their differences; however I must admit that the cultural factor affects pretty much the way people will respond to a particular event.
Today I shall present 3 situations, 3 possible reactions to them by 3 cultures (African, Latin and Anglo-Saxon – for they are the ones I know best):

1- One married man has a mistress. Everybody knows about it except for the wife. However one day she finds out…

- What does the African wife do? She either pretends she doesn’t know, cause after all she is the official one; or she beats the hell out of her husband and throws his stuff out of the house; or she simply invites the “second wife” to live all together in the same perimeter.
- What does the Latin wife do? She either cries, confronts her husband (who denies the whole thing), and when presenting evidence of his infidelity she gets an open hand slap on the mouth for interfering with his freedom (“You better respect me, woman!”), and ends up staying for the kid’s sake and the family’s good name; or she finds herself a lover as well; or she makes a scandal, cries and then files for divorce.
- What does the Anglo-Saxon wife do? Either she coldly files for divorce, taking half of his assets, the kids (if any) and the dog; or she keeps up the appearances provided that she’s supplied with a no-limit credit card.

2- The wife borrows her husband’s car; she drives it and has an accident…

- What does the African husband do? While tying a rope to the car (so it can be towed) he says “I should send you back to your mother’s house! My mom warned me against this, she even said, «why does she need a driving license for? She should stay at home cooking and taking care of the kids!»…She was right, woman, she was right!”.
- What does the Latin husband do? He calls for a tow-vehicle and then says, “I can picture it already; you putting on the mascara or lipstick; or maybe you on the phone with that friend of yours…the one that gets on my nerves! Look here; no more going out for dinner this month, my friend: this baby has to go the garage!”
- What does the Anglo-Saxon husband do? He calls for a tow-vehicle and then says “Oh, dear! Oh, dear me…!”

3- A dinner party is scheduled…

- What does the African do? He arrives 2 hours late, laughing-out-loud with 4 uninvited friends, all carrying crates of beer and a plastic bag with grilled chicken.
- What does the Latin do? He arrives an hour earlier, making the host feel uncomfortable (final preparations still in course); then impatiently, the Latin will ask “Do you want me to help?”.
- What does the Anglo-Saxon do? He arrives exactly on time and still apologises by saying “I’m ever so sorry if I am ever so early!”…

Don’t you just love people?! I simply adore them!!
