i can't believe i actually did it...
-
well, i reported a case of illegal parking...you see, there is this neighbour of mine, who ever so often, parks at the handicap lot, esp during sundays...
i keep telling myself that if i were to see it parked there the next time, i'll report to the town council...until last sunday, i was washing my car in the morning, there it was, parked at the handicap lot, even though there was ample lot available...i told myself to give that guy until i've finished washing before i report him...so, about an hour or so later, i finished washing the car, he still haven't shifted his car...must have parked there since last nite...
so i walked up to the handicap lot, took down the number to call, and reported it...they asked for the location and license plate and den i went off to buy breakfast...when i returned, i saw the parking warden next to the car, issued a ticket, and rode off...i went home and told my wife about it, and she chided me for not doing so earlier...i swear i'll report him everytime i see him park there again...oh, and this owner always smokes in the lift...another reason to report him...haha... -

why do people "hate vigilantes" ?
anyway, if they want to park in the lot for the disabled, i don't mind disabling the person
but seriously... a person who decides enough is enough is hated more than the person who has been a total asswipe to the community?
i think in the reaction, it shows the insecurities of those people who actually commit the same offences as the asswipes -
But why my mother car never get caught... do you mean there are no singaporeans living in clementi HDB?Originally posted by antoh:typical singaporean -
antoh, a typical singaporean would be apathetic and allow another person to be beaten to death and not lift a finger to help... nor even call the cops because they "don't want anything to do with it"
your statement is... cynical.. in all the bad things about the word...
what the person has done is correct, and should be done by ALL.. yet, i see a lot of people heaping crap onto him...
btw, to the people who hail and promote apathy, i would think your tune would quickly change if you were disabled and that lot was taken... -
you have a very weird definition of evil...Originally posted by tiggersgd:no. but i am just wondering y can't he being a neighbour approach the guy and talked to him abt this? what he did is simply...
evil.
does one need reminder that disabled lots are meant for the disabled?
there are other "normal" lots available. why do i choose to park in a disabled lot? maybe to save 10 metres walking distance?
such an act is fundamentally selfish
caring only for my own convenience with total disregard for other ppl's needs
we apparently cannot differentiate between "vigilantes" and being "civic-minded". if you see a theft and go and hunt down the thief with a baseball bat, that's vigilantism. If you see a theft and call the police, that's just being civic-minded; which incidentally i hope all my fellow human-beings would practice in the event that i'm the victim

phua-turtle!! now i know why i kanna summon yesterday @#$%&$!!! Its you who bao-toh me hoh! @#$%^
juz kidding...
but actually, i also si-beh tu-lan this type of sell-fish burger... serve them right! -
he wld probably be scolded for being busy body and given the evil eye every time they meet. den he will report, den he will be cursed on every ghost festival all his life.Originally posted by tiggersgd:no. but i am just wondering y can't he being a neighbour approach the guy and talked to him abt this? what he did is simply...

i rather report. -
first off, we don't really know alot of details. it is nevertheless one sided story and perhaps a selfish and may i even suggest vicious move by the thread starter? and u have been assuming and presuming from the start of your reply to me...how objective can that be?Originally posted by kalangkabo:you have a very weird definition of evil...

when i say evil, pls go back and read what the thread starter has stated..."he hesitated for a long time...the neighbour has parked there for a lot time..." etc etc. a gd neighbour is not one that bao toh others but displayed that civic-mindedness that you may be saying...that is to ask if not show some gd neighbourliness. by that i mean, talk to the neighbour and let them know it is politically not right for him/her to park in the disabled lot. by going straight to the authorities w/o first understanding certain issues of that neighbour (perhaps the family has an elderly that has some form of disable functions??) is not civic minded, much less an equally selfish act and taking things into his own hands?
this is definitely different from if u see some1 being robbed and stand by doing nothing... if a car is parked in an unloading/loading lot, is it automatically assumed that it is unloading/loading but the driver or passengers are not seen unloading/loading stuff? my point here is that, if we want to be gd neighbours, then be a gd neighbour and talk to them to find out even b4 u assume otherwise.
i dun think the thread starter has initiated a talk with the neighbour that commited the wrong parking in question. how can that constitute being a gd neighbour and how civic minded that can be? well, one can only say it is subjective. but the motive? hatred perhaps?
so can u differentiate civic mindedness then?
for your information, i have seen my fair share of people not having the disabled decal on the car and yet screamed, yelled and shouted like a woman (but a man) for that disabled lot within the visitor's parking area, all in a private condo. so tell me all abt it.
