Shunlin has adopted a new strategy in her arsenal of ontological depravity: rustling papers and/or rattling pots and pans into the phone when she wishes to terminate a conversation.
After perfecting the telephone cough and broken cigarette lighter as annoyance gambits in order to exasperate those she wishes to tune out, her latest strategy is the nadir of bad manners and poor breeding.
An additional trick she employs is making sure the TV is blasting at full volume 24 hours a day to insure maximum confusion and clearly convey to the afflicted that you are an unwanted distraction in her life.
Rudeness is of course a prerequisite to the Shunlin methodology.
Professing ignorance of these transparent stratagems is another way she adds insult to injury for maximum damage. The unfortunate presence of a nosey evesdropper on the premesis is an added affront to all callers.
This passive aggression is designed to let you know you are most definitely NOT welcome in her little world.
