Tampines MRT Station
-
Anyone stays in Tampines?
During the peak hours (approx 7 to 9am?)
there is always an auntie standing outside the main entrance of Tampines MRT Station selling tissue paper.
I cannot stand her 'act pathetic' look.
She have been there for some years.
Occasionally there will be another one - Mother and daughter (about 8-yr-old)
Also selling tissue paper. Sometimes competing with business.
In both cases, they have 2 hands and 2 legs which seemed to be working. -

nobody asked u to look right

U should see for yourself.
The auntie will find opportunity to look into ur eyes and send electrical waves.
And the way she begs sounds wrong. -
She was standing awkwardly outside the main entrance. And alot people will walk past her.Originally posted by de_middle:nobody asked u to look right
She is very eye-catching as the way she begs is
Just wonder anyone seen her. -

-
7th month is coming. Ghost month. There will be many standing at MRT.

I just happen to see one aunty selling tissue paper at around 11 plus am at Tampines MRT but its near the staircase facing the SMRT & Citibank card promotion booth but not sure if its the same
-
selling it is a job.

You will see many "aunties" standing at entrance at night, when the sky is dark.Originally posted by norm:7th month is coming. Ghost month. There will be many standing at MRT.

selling tissue is her job, the sad sad look is her advertisment and invitation to treat.
-
hmmm. nothing wrong with that i guess.. they are not begging... just running a mini business...
-
Talking about 7th month coming , heheheh. Just remember to double check the change she hands you back should you buy tissue from her. Make sure it's 'ren jian qian' and not 'di fu qian'
-
I know she made a complete comeback this year.
I saw her before few years back I don't remember which part.
She is the one when you walk past her, she tries to look into ur eyes and exert electrical waves.
Then she keep saying: 'Xiao Jieeeee... Xie xieee niiiii.." and many more varieties but she keep thanking and showing the pathetic look. I wonder how many people actually stop to make a purchase of tissue paper during peak hours. So far I've seen one. -
whats wrong with selling tissue papers?
-
It's considered nightmare if I see her in my dreams.Originally posted by FocusPoint:Talking about 7th month coming , heheheh. Just remember to double check the change she hands you back should you buy tissue from her. Make sure it's 'ren jian qian' and not 'di fu qian'
That time I accidentally made eye contact with her.
I feel disgusted by the electrical waves I received from her. -
hehe sometimes around 7pm also have la.. not just in the morning -.-
and i think they are really "ko lian"
-
she is working with her hands and feet, isnt it?
but why are u talking bad of her when she is jus trying to earn her living?
what are u doing now could potentially discourage people who pass by and is actually intending to buy, but is suddenly reminded that someone said she act ke lian.
she is already earning peanuts.
what's wrong with selling tissues?
u dun wanna buy, sui bian ni. -
is selling tissue pathetic?
-
it doesnt bother me...
Coz, I have no heart 1...
muahahaa... -
i'd buy a tissue frm her and shove it up ur arse.

my personal experience.
This bugger sells tissues at a well known eatery in the south. If you dun buy, this bugger may say some sarcastic things, then say "if you dun buy its ok, I'll still pray to god for your safety".
Another bugger, always dressed well and loiter around around my housing area. She look like any normal auntie. She'll then ask you for money to take bus, or say she is very hungry and had never ate the whole day, ask money for meals. There was once she kept pestering a secondary school kid at the bus stop till the kid show her his wallet. I was empty.
Another bugger, I met him near my ex-office (raffles place). Usually dressed in an old polo and dirtied jeans. He'll stop you and ask for directions. Asking how to WALK to ang mo kio. Naturally you'll tell him impossible, take a train/cab/bus. He'll then looked troubled and say he do not have a single cent and borrow money from you, claiming he haven't ate and need to urgently go to his mother who fell down in amk. -
hey guys, i've seen a similiar modus-operandi practiced by an old lady in bt batok mrt station. i wonder if it's a syndicate doing all this...
nevertheless, i dun think selling tissue paper is a disgrace...hey at least, she's trying to barter something in return for your donation. but again, her financial status may not be similiar to her physical outlook.
