WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Quit nagging me; I'm doing you a favor, so wait your turn.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Reciprocal Obligations in Favors

When doing someone a favor (帮), Chinese speakers expect patience and respect; being hurried while helping readily triggers blunt verbal pushback because it breaches expected interpersonal reciprocity.
