lynnette (my colleague) and i met this really annoying, inconsiderate old man on the train just now and talking to him so totally destroyed our extremely relaxed and destressed mood after the manicure! :c
you know how boarding the train at city hall around 6 – 8ish is always hellish cuz EVERYONE is rushing home and it’s just maximum urgh trying to squeeze into the train?
well, this fucker (lets call him shortie) is quite a classic case of the ubiquitous discourteous singaporean.
there was still space inside the carriage and he refused to move in… and what made it worse was that the stupid “doors closing” thing was sounding already and we soooo had to squeeze into the train!
so lynnette innocently went, “these people don’t know how to move in one ah.”
and i, too, (not so) innocently replied, “yeah, so inconsiderate.”
and shortie turned around and glared at us and said, “yah, so what?”
WTF RIGHT!? YAH I KNOWWWWW. GEEZ.
annoyed, i acted all shocked and said (in my atas my-enunciation-is-better-than-yours english which i am blessed to be able to put on from time to time), “but i didn’t say i was talking about you, did i?”
shortie mumbled something, and ended with, “you think i’m taking the train for free ah?”
!!! so, honey, you think just because you pay the (rather expensive) $1.60++ to take the train (as we all do), you are entitled to ignore the other commuters who have the same right to get onto the train?
but being the extremely sweet and nice girl i am, i merely retorted with a “oh, must be guilty conscience.”
shortie continued grumbling and that sulky face he gave when lynnette told me not to waste my breath on him was classic….. of a typical angry old man. the kind who’s so angry and miserable because no one loves him and who’ll try so desperately to get attention (in this case, negative one, since the people around us were watching the short (and not very sweet) exchange).
oh please, go get a life – say, look into the mirror and tell yourself how much you love yourself since no one else will say that to you. then again, being the pompous, low self-esteemed (goes with his height i guess, since he’s like, one frigging head shorter than me) ass you are, you prolly already do that everyday.
*shrugs*
which is why i say, why the hell does the government want more people to come to singapore!
it’s not like we’re super pleasant people to stay with and all that – foreigners should stay away and leave singapore to it’s 6million citizens.
our public transportations are already so packed that everyone’s like squashed sardine in a can (with inconsiderate commuters who refuse to move to the center of the carriages), and they always stall.
what’s with wanting to hit a 10million population – hello government, if you read this can you please take public transport more often before coming up with such goals?
you wanna make the move to being a green city – which means less cars on the road; and fewer cars on the road equals more people on public transport… and you know what i’m getting to right!
be more realistic already, and stop just looking at how a larger population, and more expatriates/tourists will help with our economy.
thankyouverymuch and i’m off to sleep.
goodnight.
