Inconsiderate idiots

[Emperor]

 

"CHAKNOW"

 

*rolling on floor laughing...

 

I could actually picture it in my head vividly including her expression!!

 

Nice one!

[Emperor]

its a place of business. during lunch hour, even macdonalds will ask patrons to leave the seats if they are not using it to eat... especially students with books.

 

i guess the proprietor should be more proactive to "chase" people away after they finish eating during lunch hour? not to offend any customers but potential customers may go elsewhere if they can't find seats..

 

anyway all over singapore its like that.. crowd everywhere.

 

In this sense I think what Turboflat is trying to say that these "Typical Singaporeans" are inconsiderate.

 

I dont think this should involve the proprietor though they could be of a little help, but we should be gracious enough seeing as to how much we study and how much influences we have from the overseas culture.

 

But seriously, there are idiotic women like these out there, and I remember a friend who mentioned about a woman driver who was blocking a van trying to parallel park on a one way road forcing the van to move away and at the same time blocking the traffic behind her. As my friend try to ease the traffic at the rear by overtaking this car by squeezing through the space available, the said woman hit his car and shouted at him not to be impatient and let her park her car...WTF?? Hitting his car??? This is the woman who's causing a trail back!!

 

So, I think, these are certainly situations where it could be avoided.

 

Hate these type of people. So, we should spread the word and be more gracious and we should start from our DRIVING!

[Emperor]

I've lived in HK long enough to see too many types of inconsiderate and self centred behaviour in HK, at least on par with SG if not more so. On the whole it's human nature, just that some cultures tend to display it more openly than others.

 

But true enough, people here move off more quickly after eating. Probably because they don't want the embarrassment of seeing themselves scolded good and proper. Some people here, especially the older generation, will not hesitate to f*** someone who's been sitting around too long and no-one wants the embarrassment of being on the receiving end of a multitude of Cantonese swear words

 

sigh.... Hong Kong... how I miss that place, its the only place where I can eat with a stranger and not feel so uncomfortable.....

 

[Emperor]

I would also like to thank the very considerate driver who just this afternoon

 

who was driving at 80 kmh on the PIE and refused to let me overtake time.

 

I think maybe he saw policemen with speed cameras and he din want me

 

to get a speeding ticket athough I myself din see any policeman.

 

Which other countries can you find such kind and noble people?

 

 

hahahhaah... can I spank you one time? *rolling on floor laughing

 

I like the one where you say they are considerate and speed up to make space to allow you to get into lane!!!

 

"kind and noble driver who prevents you from speeding up cause of police!!!" Love the way you look at life on Singapore road!!!

I went out for lunch at a small place in International Plaza with 2 friends today. This place is usually very crowded and people are always waiting for tables, and people generally finish their meal chop-chop and clear off.

 

There was a 6-seater table around which 3 people were already seated. This was the initial seating arrangement:

 

X1 X2 O3

(table)

O4 X5 O6 [corner pillar]

 

where 1-6 denote position, X denotes a seat filled by a member of the other party and O an empty one. There were no other free tables with 3 seats. X1 was male, while X2 and X5 were females.

 

The two females (X2 and X5) had already clearly finished their meal, while X1 (the male) was having a drink.

 

While one friend and I were queueing up to buy makan, my other friend (denoted by Y) sat down, and the new arrangement became:

 

X1 X2 Y3

(table)

O4 X5 O6 [corner pillar]

 

I'm a rather large person and O6 was abutting the corner pillar (tight squeeze). Having seen that X at position 5 had *already finished eating* and was just chatting away, I stood behind the seat O6 for a few minutes, hoping that X5 would notice and move to O4 of her own accord.

 

No such luck. So I politely asked the female in X5 to shift to O4 as space was a bit tight for me, plus there was another friend joining my party. After all, she had already finished eating long ago - although I didn't point this out, as it might have been construed as rude.

 

Guess what? X5 (passive-agressive bitch) remained stolidly seated, completely ignoring me. To make matters worse, the active-aggressive bitch at X2 piped up: "BUT WE WERE HERE FIRST, CHUKNOW?!" Then they proceed to ignore me again.

 

OK, fine. Wanna play it that way, you inconsiderate bitches? I'm game. I yanked out O6 and proceeded to deposit my wide and considerable bulk into it, as I was bloody well entitled to do, since it was an empty seat. X5 was now *forced* to move to O4:

 

X1 X2 Y3

(table)

X4 O5 Y6 [corner pillar]

 

I only moved back toward the corner pillar to free up space at O5 when my friend returned after placing his order.

 

X1 X2 Y3

(table)

X4 Y5 Y6 [corner pillar]

 

During the entire meal X2 was staring daggers at me. I didn't give a sh*t. Incredibly, the X party *continued* to occupy their seats reading newspapers and magazines while people were milling around them waiting for a place.

 

After finishing our meal (the X party members were STILL occupying seats without eating), my friend at Y5, immediately got up and loudly proclaimed "If we're done, let's be considerate and give up our seats to others who are waiting." I could see this was just to bait X party, so I also got up quickly and rejoined, "Yes, let's be considerate. Unfortunately, being considerate is not a universal trait. Some people are just plain inconsiderate." Then the three of us Ys left with alacrity.

 

So that was my unpleasant lunchtime encounter with inconsiderate idiots, and at least one overt bitch. Oh, and since race seems to be rather important to some people on this forum, the X party were Chinese, as are both my friends, while I'm Indian. Just in case any of those posters who previously made those topics are curious.

Moments ago, I encounter a female driver parked her car in 2 lots.

And I had parked my car near her, I looked at her thinking how inconsiderate this person is.

Then all of sudden, she came out of her car and walk towards me armed with

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unsed parking coupon.

The last time I ever receive unused coupons were years ago....

Today is my lucky day HOWEVER,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

She cheated on the coupons not tearing off the tabs.

She is just one inconsiderate driver but a considerate person.

Not tearing tabs away saves paper. Saving paper = saving trees.

[Steptronic]

Haha!

 

Singapore actually has the most considerate people in the world!

 

Bcos I live on a one way street, I have to cut from one side to

the other every morning to get to work. I just have to put on my

signal and the car on the next lane will kindly accelerate pass me

to a create a space for my car to cut into.

 

If there are 10 cars behind him, all 10 will burn petrol to accelerate to

create a space behind them just for me.

 

In other countries, people are so lazy and stingy and just tap the brake

and I have to cut in front of them. Can you believe they expect me to

cut in front of them. Thats so rude. The space in front of them is so small.

Only a few feet between my rear bumper and their front bumper.

 

In Singapore bcos all 10 cars allow me to cut behind them, the space behind

my car will be damn a lot. No other car behind me as far as I can see.

 

Another example is my own neighbour. He was in front me as we entered

the condo basement parking. He put on his hazzard lights and indicated he

wanted me to give him space so that he could very kindly demostrate to

me the art of maneuvering using the forward and reverse gears.

 

We all know how busy people are and how precious time is but he really din

rush and kindly took his time to park his car. And after all that he very nicely

gave me a wave like a performer taking a bow.

 

In other countries I have lived in, people just move to one side and give me

a nochalant wave to move on to park me car and they quicky park their own

car.

 

Yes they din even bother to stop me to show me their performance of the

reversing maneuver. They simply just din have time for me. What kind of neighbour

is that?

 

Lastly people in Singapore are so considerate they like to make the the door close

very fast so that the cool aircon is not lost. Singapore is so hot and its so nice to

enter a cool aircon building.

 

So people dun want to waste the building's owner money on aircon and will even

let the door slam in the face of the people behind them so that the nice cool air

does not escape. They are just being considerate to the people in the building.

 

Afterall who wants to go to a hot building where all the cool air has gone out.

 

I am sure these 3 example are seen all over singapore and most people will see

it everyday.

 

Thats why I cannot understand people saying people in Singapore are selfish

and inconsiderate.

In addition we Singaporeans are good at keeping others' health in check by not giving them enough space and time to eat more. You can save on bills too.....we are too good!

[Byteslurve]

Some people really inconsiderate lo, they thought what they did are right and what others did are always wrong

Hilarious!

[Nismo22]

such is life, everywhere got such people

these sights are one too many at foodcourts and hawker centres..there are many instances of 4 persons taking up a 6 person table..depriving others of the precious 2 seats..especially during peak hours

Worst is the 1 person sitting at a table for 4, when a table for 2 is available.

 

We can only do so much bro, but at least I must say, things have improved a little somewhat...

 

[Emperor]

You DA MAN lar!!! Hilarious mate, seriously every point there had me screaming with laughter! Your sarcasm knows no boundaries!!

 

I had the same effects!!!! I really condone you bro... I nearly fell off the chair one time just reading his posts....

 

[Acieed]

No right or wrong. If they give up the seat, they are being kind. If they don't, they may not have a compassion for your plead but are they inconsiderate idiots ? Think about it, would the other party have posted the same in another forum, thinking you are rude :-)

 

The bottom line is, you are buying a service and they are buying the same service. If the service is poor, in this case -- seating space, do feedback to the business owner so it can be improved.

 

Just $0.02.

In the first place, they were somewhat inconsiderate to have sat in that configuration - that lady in seat 5 could easily have seated herself in seat 4 at the outset, since they're a party of three. But never mind, not a big deal when noone else is seated there. However, not moving despite having finished her meal when a party of 3 wants to sit together *is* downright inconsiderate. I'm clearly not alone in this view, judging by the responses in this thread.

 

Yes, they've bought a service, as have we. There's a win-win here provided that person moves, but she was initially unwilling to. This is the dog-in-the-manger syndrome.

 

Put it this way - there are some people who think that purchasing a ticket on the MRT entitles them to a seat for them *and* their shopping bag, despite the train being filled to capacity. There are those who think that purchasing a ticket entitles them to remain seated in the reserved seat when an elderly or infirm person boards (and there are no other seats). Do you also subscribe to this logic? After all, they "bought the service" too - does it entitle them to behave like pricks?

 

But you're right in that feedback should be given to the proprietor (what he does with it is his concern). I haven't returned there yet, so maybe next time, I'll do so.

Yeah, last time at Dian Xiao Er West Coast, my family and I were having lunch. We were going to finish, left my dad and me drinking our warm tea. The cashier apporached our table and requested we leave now because there was a couple waiting for a table.. So my Dad refused but she continued to start clearing our tables, as if she were pressurizing us to leave. So we gave in since we did not want any trouble..
