A day of inconsiderate behaviors

Ah, well, it's been awhile since i updated. And Layqueen wans mi to blog from tkgs.. but well, i can't cuz apparently the school doesn't allow relief teachers to have laptops :( in any case, i have decided to blog today cuz i'm terribly irritated by the recent spate of events that have happened just TODAY! yes, on most days i don't meet so much as one instance of inconsiderate behavior, but strangely, today i met a total of 5, yes, 5 instances of inconsiderate behavior!

Well, it started out as a pretty good morning, and i got onto the bus to go to work. And i was having a rather enjoyable journey when suddenly this guy got up on the bus and sat behind me. Ok, now i understand some people have long legs and it's terribly uncomfortable to be taking up just your space on the bus (given the really narrow leg space), BUT AT LEAST DON'T INTRUDE ON OTHER PEOPLE'S SPACE!!! Well. It so happened this person crossed his legs such that his knee was pressing against my seat. And perhaps many people don't know this, but it's really uncomfortable for the person in the seat in front because this person's seat has just become very hard, and they can't lean back. The worst type of people are the types who sit down in the most un-lady-like (for that matter ungentlemanly) manner with BOTH their knees pressing against the seat in front of them. FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE! IF YOU PAY THE BUS FARE FOR ONE PERSON, YOU JOLLY WELL TAKE UP ONLY ONE PERSON'S SPACE!!! I mean, if u wanna do that, at least make sure there is no one sitting in front of you. Granted if the person comes after you, then that's the person's problem. But on a first-come-first-served basis, if someone is there 1st, and you want to sit in such an inconsiderate position, then you jolly well find a seat that has no one sitting in front of you. In any case, after a while i got pissed at the man, and changed seats. One day when i have the courage i might actually scold the next person who does it to me again.

Ok, then work was ok. I spent practically the whole day doing the sec4 chem paper (yes i know, my chem teacher called mi over-enthu). And then my mother picked me up from work. Then as we were driving back, we saw this blue car, not once but TWICE, cut into our lane without signalling! If I was the one driving I'd probably not be able to stop in time! My mom calls it 'katong-drivers'; they think they own the road. When I get my licence i will keep that in mind. And for those of my friends reading this, please don't be annoying like the driver of that blue car, and signal early.

And then we got home. My mom stayed in the car to wait for me while i went up to drop off some stuff and change to my running clothes. Granted, she parked really badly (afterall, she was expecting to drive off real soon), and this guy came and parked beside her, and apparently he was pissed at my mom for parking so badly, when he opened the door of his car he whammed so hard that now my car has a dent. And for heaven's sake my mom was still sitting in the car! The nerve of that guy! And this guy is supposed to be our neighbour!

Ok, then when we got to bedok reservoir and wanted to park the car, there were no parking lots. But lo and behold, there was this car that was taking up not one but TWO parking lots! And caused so many of us poor souls to keep driving round and round looking for a parking space. Sheesh. Look, there's one thing about parking badly when you're still in the car, there's another when you LEAVE YOUR CAR IN SUCH AN INCONSIDERATE POSITION and go off somewhere! Hey just because you drive a big shiny car doesn't mean u can take up more space than required! Afterall, it's a free carpark, so be nice, and let other pple park!

Then the last one is the ultimate, left my blood boiling so long that i felt i had to blog about it. Ok, on the way home, we were just driving along sanely. And while i wasn't looking at the road, (i was in the passenger seat), my mom was. I was looking out my window. And I saw this guy on a scooter getting closer and closer until he was so close i bet his leg brushed our car. So, in panic, i motioned to mi momma that this guy was getting dangerously close. And mi momma had to do a quick swerve to stop him from banging into us. Apparently he was trying to filter right. Yup, and right into out car. Sheesh! He expects my mom to be able to see him when he like on the left side!? In any case, he's the one who's supposed to look out for traffic when filtering! Ok, that aside, me and mi momma was barely just recovering from the annoyance, when this same guy just came up in front of us and braked! So mi momma had to break really suddenly (i bet the pple behind us were pissed as well). Eh, look, on the road, there's no such thing as revenge (particularly when u're in the wrong in the 1st place), and in any case, if you wanna take revenge, DON'T DO IT WHEN YOU'RE JUST A TINY SCOOTER!!! I was telling my mom that she should've just not braked when he braked and let's see what happened to him. (ya, i noe i'm evil, but don't such pple deserve to die!?) Afterall, when you're on the road, size does matter. Well, as if that wasn't enough, at the traffic light, we stopped way behind this guy to avoid his childish behavior, and he even motioned to us to move up next to him so that he can pick a fight with us! Me and mi mom just ignored him (my mom said such behavior shouldn't warrant our attention. The only other time i heard her say that was when she was talking about our 3-4 yr old sunday school kids!). Afterall, it won't be long till he's off the roads if he keeps this behavior up. I can only pray that when he's off the roads it's because he's got too many demerit points rather than because he's not even on the planet anymore.

Arr... I'm sooo annoyed! Think I'll go play a little FF12 to cool off, meanwhile take care pple, and wish u all the best in keeping away from the annoying ones.
