Read today in the papers that Singaporeans are not rude, but are in fact too shy.
What a load of old bull.
How the hell can you be too SHY to show a tad bit of courtesy?! I can just picture the people interviewed giggling and batting their eyes in an attempt to prove their bashfulness. It's just pure twaddle. The simple fact is that most of us don't have the basic respect for other people around us, and couldn't care less to help them out. Face it, how many of you, whenever you held a door open for complete strangers receive nothing but a roll of their eyes in return? What? A simple Thank You to difficult to utter? At least give a nod of acknowledgement.
Could this be why we never move anywhere? Because people continually give PATHETIC excuses to worm their way out of issues instead of actually resolving the problem?
Look, I'm still doing what I can to keep this place civil, and I'm certain my friends try as well. But I'm getting a bit sick of the crap I get in return.
I am TIRED of being treated like filth by sloppy bimbotic shites who run the shops and cashier counters who take their job for granted. I am TIRED of people STROLLING up to the doors despite seeing that someone is holding it open and waiting for them to walk through. I am TIRED of elderly folk taking advantage of their seniority to jump queues and nab seats and yell at younger bystanders. I am TIRED of pregnant gits attempting to flatten the hell out of you when you offer a seat to them of the bus by charging in like it's their right.
You know what? I don't think I'd stoop to the stage where if someone was rude to me I'd return the favour yet, but it won't be long before I lose all faith in humanity if I stay here any longer. Is it really that tough to treat someone normally? Or LISTEN? I mean what is the deal with people getting trampled in sales and stuff? It's not that impossible to STOP and allow or help the person to stand on her god given two feet instead of using her as a doormat? Are we gonna have to reach the stage where people carry boot knives to slash at the ankles of ignorant twits to defend themselves or make themselves KNOWN?
What a waste of the front page. Maybe the newspapers should consider printing foreign language phrases like "Thank you" and "Excuse me". You know for a city that boasts it is close to first world we sure eat out of dog bowls. Man. Fuck the lot of barbarians.
Pardon my French.
