impatience.
a common trait seen in alot of singaporeans. young, old. rich, poor. male, female.
i was going down the steps from an upper deck of a bus to the lower deck. since it was at a stop, people alight and boarded the bus. there was already a jam at the exit, so i was stuck at the base of the steps. and this lady, handphone on her ear, trying to squeeze her way in between me and stairs 'wall'. so me being me, i just stood there, while she attempts to squeeze through. she could've waited. there was pratically no one on the upper deck. and she was the first to board the bus from that stop. -___-"
another separate incident. (well, i've had too many of these but this one is worth telling) i was the train, getting off at tanah merah station. on that particular day, it was unbelievable busy. as the train slowed down at the station, i got ready to go out. i think i was invisible on that day because no one seemed to move after looking throught the glass panel. and when the doors opened, yes you guessed it. these people, some looked educated even, wasn't considerate enough to move one step behind. so of course, i just stood there. with the classic razi hand gesture, i stared at them. a pilot, i think it was a pilot because of his uniform, was polite enough to make way. main culprits: maids at orchard station and i'm sorry for sounding racist here, chinese people. they would RUN inside as if they're being chased by some devil.
'blindness'
some people would just pretend there wasn't anyone in the line and sashays in front of you.
at watsons a couple of months ago, i was buying a shitload of stuff. so i queued. (duh!) suddenly this nyonya stepped in front of me, as if queueing up. and i'm like 'HELLO!' then i gently tapped on her shoulder and said there was a queue behind me. and you know what she said to me?!! 'oh i thought you were looking around for something' HUH!!!!!?! i was standing there. standing still right behind the person in front of me and she said i was looking for something?!
another incident. i queued where the queue for the bubble tea was. and then there were 2 maids, lingering a few steps behind me. yes they looked like they were going to get something but they were standing 5 steps away from the stall. right before the owner took my order, one of the maids swooped in next to me, half expecting her order to be taken. like Hello!!
and my favourite!
i was in a toilet at a shopping centre. and there was a queue to go into the ladies, as always. and there was this group of tanjong katong girls huddling around the entrance, a few from that group was actually in the queue. the ones that wasn't was also in that group. i said excuse me politely, and some went out from the ladies. i was a few steps behind them and i turned and said to nadiah, in normal speaking tones, 'clever is also stupid'. and what do you know? they turned and looked at me. 'he who eats chilli, will taste the spicyness.'
well that's it for tonight. :)
