STAND ALONE NARRATIVE

ADVICE NEEDED

My sister, called me and she was so upset, asking me if it is a crime to be unmarried and waiting on God. She paid for a program and there are 10 participants there, and the only one who is presently unmarried is her. Now, according to her, she is the third oldest person, aside from a 48-year-old man and a man in his early 40s. She is 36, by the way.

So she said they all introduced themselves (relating their names, ages, marital status, and other information) to the man who would lecture them.

Then she said she noticed that during the lecture, the man would call other people's names to ask them questions, and he would say, "Mrs. so and so" or "Mr. so and so" with a smile, but she said when it was her turn, he would act like he didn't know her name and say, "young lady" with a high-pitched voice as if he were scolding her. She said at first she wasn't bothered about it because she thought she was reading unnecessary meaning into things or that he didn't remember her name, but when she saw he purposely decided not to call her by her name, she said she walked up to him and told him, "My name is Rose; I would prefer you call me Ms. Rose or Rose."

She said another day, two women were talking in class, and the man smiled and said, "Mrs. Lora and Mrs. Ngozi, well done," with a smile, but when her pen rolled off the desk and she tried to pick it up, the next thing she heard was, "young lady," with a warning voice and a stern look. She says it got to a point where everyone wanted to start calling her "young lady."

She said the one that offended her the most was when she sat down with everyone and he came in, scanned the room, and in the midst of everyone, he called her and told her to follow him to carry the generator needed for the lecture. She said before she could give him a piece of her mind, luckily for the lecturer, the men there told him that they would go and carry it instead. She said he didn't call the men or the younger women because they were all married, but he called her instead.

I don't know what's going on because she carries herself so well and she looks mature. Besides, I have stopped by at the venue before and she wasn't the youngest looking among them. I could count up to six who looked way younger than her, so I don't even know what the man's issue was.

She is so angry and saying she would insult the man the next time he tries her and forfeit the money. How can she handle this, please? I would direct your responses to her.

An adult doing this to another adult who is not attending the course free of charge?Insulting him is not the solution, he probably has a twisted mindset that a lady should be married and if not, to look down on her....

Confront him when he is alone and find out if perhaps you unknowingly stepped on his ashy toes...hisssss!
