insensitive mrt commuters
-
I got an encounter with an insensitive mrt commuter.. apart from the usual squeezing their way into the mrt despite the fact that ppl r trying 2 alight..
Yesterday at around 12 something, at tiong bahru mrt station, there was this old lady with her granddaughther and this old man (unrelated to the old lady) who boarded the train. there was this middle aged man, business suit and all, (with a kiam pah face) sitting beside me (i was sitting at the corner seat, green cabin) since dunno which stop. I stood up to offer my seat to the old man coz he looks considerably older than the old lady. Then that kiam-pah-face guy juz "vroom" and shifted to my seat ONCE i stood up!!! D.A.M.N it!!! Then he PRETENDED to be sleeping after that!! WHAT THE?? I think he got a bit paiseh when i diao him a bit, then he looked at the empty seat, supposedly signalling the old man 2 sit there. the old man then offered the seat 2 the old lady. He didn't sit down until some1 else alighted. I was so pissed off by that insensitive guy lar!! Grrrr... so angry!! am i too petty?
then my uncle told me, next time if i wanna give my seat up 2 the elderly (or those who need it more), call them to get their attention 1st. -

Personally, I will loudly tell him move his arse back where it was before!
Farking crap-jammed educated scum!!! -

and there is still a seat left for the old man not like he was standing and rushed to take over the seat regardless of the old pple -

You're not being petty. Some ppl can only focus on themselves, sadly.

if u read carefully.... the old man offered the seat to the old lady with her granddaughter (not an infant though.. about 6 yrs old). he only got 2 sit down after another person alighted at another stop.Originally posted by hisoka:how the hell he would know you got up for the old guy b4 he moved anyway?

ongggggggggggg baaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkkk the knn man

Has it ever occurred to u dat mebbe the well-dressed fella got a sprained ankle dat pains him to the core and needs the seat more than any other elderly..........?
-
so is the problem that the middle age guy exchanged the seat or that he didn't give up his?Originally posted by i_heart_icecream:if u read carefully.... the old man offered the seat to the old lady with her granddaughter (not an infant though.. about 6 yrs old). he only got 2 sit down after another person alighted at another stop.
if he didn't give up his then its not lilke only his fualt, there are other pple around who are seating afterall.
if it was the former then its not that much of a problem is it? -
Maybe he was pregnant too?Originally posted by :Has it ever occurred to u dat mebbe the well-dressed fella got a sprained ankle dat pains him to the core and needs the seat more than any other elderly..........?

This reminds me of another situation...
A person right behind me stood up and got off the MRT... I wanted to sit down but a guy dashed across in a hurry... I thought he wanna get off the MRT so I didn't wanna get in his way... In the end he zoomed right for the seat which I moved slightly away from so that he can 'cross'....
So should we really make way for people...? While so many of them would just take advantage of your gesture... Can we totally blame ourselves for being 'insensitive' in such instances...? -
You didn't take a pic of him and post here. Next time we know who to look out for.Originally posted by i_heart_icecream:then i think he apparently got no conscience lor.. i diao him for a while, then he pretended 2 slp liao... kns!! -

I would've thrown the twat out of the seat and called him a f***ing prick in front of everyone.
