Kiadaw 6th Gear September 24, 2011 Share September 24, 2011 Sometimes wen doing such good deeds...dun expect to get a thank u.... I noe as a security guard in school, most rich parents I encountered r the rude ones... Their children's x2...little devils!! No respect for elderly Many Singaporeans like to 'see face'. They see Foreign workers, or 'low level' job people, they do not show the same friendliness or courtesy. But I think this is not restricted to Singaporeans, but happen almost everywhere, & many places worst, like India. In China, the people from Shanghai & Beijing are known to be more arrogant (not all though) & think they are better than the people from other cities. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pippo20 Neutral Newbie September 24, 2011 Share September 24, 2011 what are some of the unpleasant encounters u guy had where some people just have no simple manners? share here. Today, i was at a hotel and went to my car at a basement to get something. A volvo Xc90 parked and out came a caucasian family, including 2 small girls, and a baby on pram. I got what i needed and walked to the lift and they were approaching the lift too, quite slowly and about 15m away. I held the lift for them.. and they took their time to get in, as the father needed to coax one of the girls to enter,and the mother was having difficulty parking the pram into the lift. so i wait.. i wait.. and the father was the last to enter. Not a single thank. Nvm. Reached their level first.. same, i hold the lift for them, and they took their own sweet time to exit.. i wait.. i wait.. and... Not a single thank. So PRC arent the only one without basic courtesy. Some of these so called Atas expats arent any better either. English speaking angmos (Americans, British, Australians, New Zealanders) are generally very friendly and courteous.. Eastern europeans (only those who are rich) are very xialan and haolian wan..
