So very…
… annoying. I was at a neighborhood mall yesterday and had to go to the washroom after dinner. So there were a number of cubicles available but I just chose the second free cubicle. (It’s another of my weird habits.) Anyways, a normal person would open the door after he/she is done, and then go to the basins to wash his/her hands. This was what I wanted to do. however, I was unfortunately ambushed by a primary school kid and her younger sister. The two girls stood side by side and were vying to get into my cubicle.
I really don’t like these grimy places, but I don’t like screamy little kids even more. And while they were pushing and shoving, they blocked the ENTIRE doorway and I couldn’t get out. What’s more I looked around for their ‘wonderful’ and ‘responsible’ parent and saw this lady laughing with them. WTF is wrong with these people! ‘oh haha oh dear don’t be so naughty hahahaha’ she laughed heartily.
And if you’re wondering I was still stuck in the cubicle.
What to do. I glared at the mother and that thankfully killed her laughter immediately. And finally the kids sensed an aura of death and backed off.
While washing my hands (with a scowl no less), I noticed there were tons of other cubicles available. So what’s wrong with them? I have no idea.
…brainless. Ok I’m sorry but I have to relate this story. I always believe there’s something we can always learn from everyone, even if one may not seem to be the most highly-educated. And I guess, today I learnt not to be so brainless. This happened in the bookstore at the language section.
Girl A: Hmm (reads some random romanized Japanese) Hey, look. It says it means ‘to be’.
Girl B: ‘To be’? (looks just as clueless)
Girl A: YA~! ‘To be’ means what ah? Is it like ‘He’s going to be a teacher’?
Girl B: Oh…. dunno leh… probably hor?
Both girls nod in unison at their newfound enlightenment.
Right.
and in my head it goes je suis tu es il est elle est… ich bin du bist er ist sie sind… i am you are he is she is. ..
…pushy. This lady explained to her friend quite loudly that PEOPLE SHOULD STAND ON ONE SIDE OF THE ESCALATOR so that others who may be in a rush can go on the other side. I assumed she was referring to the couple who was blocking their way. Anyways… it turned out that the same lady and her friend later went on the wrong side of the corridor, ON PURPOSE and demonstrated how they can fight opposing currents of a human wave. and win.
