i hate taking public buses.
and i hate taking public buses because
A) people don't move in to the back of the bus.
to them, the bus is only as long as the exit door. so, they would just crowd around there, totally oblivious to the fact that because of their actions, people outside can't get in the bus. and mind you, these poor people outside have waited 53875345674524527 fucking seconds for the bus to arrive. and thanks to the stupid people (who think that the bus is only as long as the exit door) inside the bus, they probably have to wait for another 65869856367548753457 fucking seconds before the next bus come.
B) people sit on the outer seat (ie. the seat near the aisle)
honestly, i have no problems with that. especially if they only have like, 1 or 2 stops left.
what i hate is the fact that when people tried to move in to the inner seat, they responded by rolling their eyes, putting on a black face, before reluctantly shifting their bodies to let the person move in. like, what the hell? if you dont like people moving past you to get to their seats, THEN DONT SIT ON THE OUTER SEAT LA.
C) people sit on the outer seat AND put their stuff on the inner seat.
this is really the worst of the worst. look sweetheart, your stuff is not a human being. heck, it is not even living. SO WHY THE FUCK DOES YOUR STUFF NEED A SEAT FOR? my gosh. its damn fucking irritating when you are tired and you want to take a seat and the only seat available in the entire whole fucking bus is taken up by... a shopping bag/a school bag/many plastic bags. and if the plastic bags actually contain stuff like fish, what's gonna happen? the next person who sits on the seat will probably have his butt smelling like fish in a few minutes.
D) people who likes to "plop" down on their seat.
i dont know about you but when people "plop" down on the seat next to me, my body kind of elevate for a few seconds before coming down. and i really dont know about you, but having your body elevate for a few seconds before coming down can be a very traumatic experience. especially when you have been stoning for the past few minutes.
come to think of it,
i hate taking mrt too.
and i hate taking mrt because
A) people (especially adults and old people) always expect me to give up my seats for them.
once, i was sitting comfortably on the train, enjoying my click five, all-american rejects and goodness know what when suddenly, an old woman stepped into the train and promptly stared at me (and my seat), as if to will me to give up my seat for her. and, honestly, i nearly did. after all, she's old and i'm coughs nice coughs. but as it so happened, i glanced to my left while preparing to give up my seat. and guess what did i see? I SAW A HALF-ROW OF EMPTY SEATS. A FUCKING HALF-ROW OF EMPTY SEATS. naturally, i remained in my place. really, there's no fucking way am i gonna give up my seat when there are at least 5 empty seats just next to me. and i seriously dont believe that a few steps to those seats will kill a person, no matter how old or fragile he/her is. so of course, the old woman continued staring at me. and, gee, the woman sitting opposite me decides to help the old woman by staring at me as well. and that's when i got really pissed. i mean, come on, if you really wanna help the old woman, why dont YOU stand up and give up your own fucking seat? tell me, why is it that ONLY teenagers are expected to give up their seats and not adults? teenagers are human beings too, alright? we need the rest too, okay?
B) people dont move in to the centre of the carriage.
see a) in public buses. except this time, people hardly have to wait for the next train to arrive since they all manged to squeeze in most of the times. but that doesnt mean they have it better than the public buses people. because they get stuck smelling armpits for the rest of their journey.
C) people who dont keep left on the escalators.
its times like this i worry about the standard of english in singapore. after all, they are signs everywhere telling us to keep left. and what irks me most is those lovely-dovey couple who occupies both the left and the right. then when you "excuse me" them, the girl just moves one inch near towards the boy. LIKE WHAT THE HELL? I AM NOT THAT SKINNY OK?
D) people who dont let passengers alight first.
most of the times, i always nearly fall into platform gap while getting out of the mrt. because people simply love rushing straight at me so as to get into the train. what's even more sad is that they even do this in PASIR RIS MRT STATION. pasir ris mrt station where the train doesnt even leave until 3-5 minutes later. ...
conclusion? public transport in singapore sucks. how i wish i can be a rich spoilt brat who has a chaffeur to drive me everywhere i go.
(i dont think i make any sense in this entry, but who cares. i dont think anybody is reading. =D)
people gets colder.
