I love Russian Road but this woman gets on my last nerve 😂

There is a saying in my country:
"Gudo guru peta muswe, vadiki vakutye."

Literal translation: "Big baboon, fold your tail so the young ones can respect you."
Meaning: Don't criticize others for things you yourself do.

In short, calling the kettle black😂

Guess what I got 😛😛
