like u 30 plus aldy still call the 50 plus taxi driver uncle meh. u also a mini uncle aldy.
In your scenario still ok what since taxi uncle still 20+ years from u.

What is more infuriating is those 60s 70s 80s uncle and auntie still call those 40s 50s 60s uncle and auntie. I notice old aunties are especially more prone to this, like calling males younger than them uncle makes the auntie feel younger. :s22::s22::s22::s22::s22::s22::s22::s22:

That day I called prata stall assistant uncle…. He looked stunned. And told me “brother. Not uncle” 🤣
I dun address strangers as bros... 認親認戚, not as if having same parents. The most polite is i address them as boss.

Last time I help an 89 yr old ahma cross the road

After she crossed she said

Thank you uncle

I was 22

😢
This is exactly one of the scenarios that is infuriating.

Why can't they just greet the youngster as Xiao Di or Xiao Mei.
